Is the Xbox Brand Simply Weaker Than the Playstation Brand?

I have literally NEVER heard someone use Xbox as short hand for games, and I love in the Xenophobia capital of America (Texas). If there's one place that will choose American stuff at the default, it's Texas, and "Nintendo" is the only video game shorthand that uses a band name.

I have, a lot. Mainly in Cali/Oregon. Also TV shows tend to use it a lot as shorthand for games here. Dunno how it is in Texas (havent lived there in 9yrs o~o) but over on the west coast Ive seen a few people use Xbox for video games.

From my experience you either have brand aware people who specifically refer to consoles they play on, or refer to gaming as such. As for device, its typically phone, iPhone, or iPad for the more casual audience.
