If Americans buy consoles based on patriotism, then explain to me why Japanese cars dominate the American market. On the other hand, when I went to Germany I saw a lot of the crappy VWs and Audis on the streets and almost none of the much superior Toyotas and Hondas. There might be trade barriers that prevent a bigger presence o Japanese cars in that market though. I don’t know.

A big portion of Americans are patriots for the right reasons, such as their history and their accomplishments as a nation. Can I say the same about Europeans, when they buy inferior European cars and prefer to pay more for a console that offers 90% of the same content as their closest competitor, because it’s not American? If anything, this weird and quite frankly ungrateful anti-American sentiment in Europe seems bigger than patriotism in America.
