if trends began in Japan....Ps3 wouldn't be a blockbuster success in Europe

 That's the point I'm trying to make. The trends begin in Japan then work thier way over to the other teritorries. It is not like this with every sigle item though, FPS is not like this, but I think with many gaming trends it is. So, the ps3 is doing well in Europe because it is an HD machine and has a more favorable public image than microsoft. IMO the Japenese are not impressed with the HD machines and are looking for a different system (wii, ds, even psp to some extent). As Japan becomes this way so to will the other territories. Now, I may be wrong and the ps3 may take off in japan, but I don't think it will. I believe with time that MS and Sony will ldefeat eachother in the HD area (which is fine by microsoft) and the wii will come out on top. But again, I am not saying that I am the only scenario that can happen, this is just what I believe.
