If it was all about game loyality starcraft, the 360 would have destroyed the PS3 by now. It's not completely about games in Europe or Japan.

At one stage, the Xbox 360 was getting mainstream media attention for having a 33% failure rate.  Regardless of whether that was true, its what the public heard.

Trust me, the only reason the Xbox 360 survived that was game loyalty.  The most devout Sony fans have to admit that with the 360's line-up and library, the PS3 would have been in massive trouble if Rrod had never happened.

 

Well for Microsoft to avoid RRoD it would of had to delay the launch of the 360 by a year. This means the 360 wouldn't of had a years head start to get a bigger games library. 

In Europe Microsoft has a really bad name anyway, even if you ignore the failure rate of the 360. I don't think it would have made much difference in Europe to be honest. Actually I don't think it would have made much difference full stop.
