"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer"

The land of the rising sun has made 'landfall' on American soil...

This is a war. A console war. A war fought on many fronts.

Your map looks a lot different than the ones on deculttr

Yeah, I noticed that too.  I think he pulled it from this site.

It wasn't meant to be a perfect representation of who holds what 'ground' exactly. It's there to visually tie both console wars and real wars together. 

Console wars are obviously not exactly the same as a real war, but the thought process of making physical 'landfall' on enemy territory, setting up a 'stronghold' base of operations, and using that to 'take more ground', isn't all that different between them.

It's also why I used a map with Switch on it. PS influence in Japan is stagnating at best, even though they still own the true home console market there and are keeping MS at bay. Nin owns the hybrid and handheld market everywhere, with room to grow, so they have no reason to budge due to lack of competition. PS has plenty of reason to push hard into America, which will help to keep their main competition at bay even more so, while expanding PS influence where they can.
