Numbers explain everything... Xbox 360 were more expensive than Wii, Genesis came before Snes, etc so your 2 points were wrong.

What does this say about the psychology of gamers in the rest of the world.


Rest of the world? I thought once you leave American borders you just fall off the planet :O

In my case I live in the land  down under ,  so if you go over the edge while wearing magnetic boots you should arrive in Australia , also where are all those illegal immigrants coming from , may be when they first called them wetbacks they meant to say jet packs.


To come to Brazil you need either criminal background, predecessor ring or to suffer mutation.

Since they would pass not one or two but all three  entry criteria ,that explains why the big wigs of FIFA felt at home during the world cup .

Never heard that before, not sure how much truth there is to it but I can totally see that being the reason lol


I promise you it is true. It was reported at the time that MS chose 360 as they wanted it to sound level with PS3.

360 beat the Wii to the market by a year and is STILL getting support to this day. Genesis vs. SNES not really numbers are they?

Honestly if we were talking Japan I'd argue, but since it's USA you may be right



XBOX ONE/Wii U/3DS/PC

not numbers, but it proves that coming earlier don't explain selling more as being higher numbered does for 6,7 and 8th gen.

That was something I read way back when as well. I think in the case of Xbox vs Playstation MS might have been right to not call it Xbox 2. Their problem was they used one generation thinking when coming up with 360. A better numbering format, could have been to use the year number of release. Xbox 2k5 or Xbox 05. Of course then they would have had to think very carefully about what year to release the current Xbox because people would be really put off buying Xbox 2k13 or Xbox 13. But they could have called it Xbox 14 because 2014 was the first full year of release. With that numbering format theyr are good for the rest of the century. and they will always have a higher number than the corresponding PS console.

So if Nintendo had gone with NES 2000 instead of Wii U, Nintendo would be winning in the USA.
