Guys, it's the United Arab Emirates, they don't represent the whole Middle East. They could be the UK of Asia.

"The Sony PlayStation 3 though is still very popular and overall has the largest base of users in the region"

The title is very contradictory.

But keep in mind also, piracy is one of the big selling points for Xbox 360 here in the Middle East.

I love when articles like this pop up.  It basically compliments the 360/Kinect and the PS3, and that just doesn't compute with some people so they have to pick it apart, lol.

Anyway, as someone in the US I'm always glad to get some insight into what's going on elsewhere in the world, especially when it goes contrary to popular (uninformed) belief.

Nothing wrong with the article (and trust me, I read it all). The title, on the other hand...

region means middle east i guess

Lol. the true king is actually the PS2 if we're talking overall sales.

Well of course.

The UAE is considered a region.

But seriously, somehow I doubt it. I think what the link is saying is that Xbox 360 HAS taken the weekly sales, but the overall advantage remains in favor of the PS3 (current gen consoles).

I'll be both impressed and surprised if it indeed tipped in favor of the 360. But it doesn't seem that way from the wording.

Nothings wrong with the title, it doesn't mean the middle east as a whole, just a specific area of the middle east. The UAE consists of only seven states, in those seven states, the 360 is popular.

wasn't that should be call country or states?

and i don't think who will call a one week winning console "king"...
