Don't forget that the 360 is so much cheaper than the PS3 in the UK. Just checking a few big retailers in the UK and thought I'd post Game's prices:
Game:
As you can see, the 360 is so much cheaper and much more accessible for people during the year...it will probably be different for Xmas, but being able to pick up Modern Warfare and a 360 for £125 cheaper than the same game with a PS3 make a huge difference.
Prediction (June 12th 2017)
Permanent pricedrop for both PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro in October.
PS4 Slim $249 (October 2017)
PS4 Pro $349 (October 2017)

The British people just love Videogames. I sometimes wonder if the UK is not the market in the World with the biggest Videogame penetration.
Uk has 50 Million Inhabitants. And it already is on almost the same level as Japan and japan has 130 million people.
NA is USA plus Canada (+Mexiko but its to small to make an impact)
NA is almost 350 million people ( without mexiko)
If the UKs market would be as big as NA (7 times bigger) or the people in NA would be so into Videogames like the people from UK then it would look like this:
WII: 42.7 Million Xbox360: 26.8 Mio PS3: 18.5 Mio Thats almost the total numbers of the world If the UKs market would be as big as Japan (2.5) or the Japanese would be so into Home Consoles like UK it would be like this:
Wii: 15.25 Mio Xbox360: 9.5 Mio PS3: 7.5 Mio
If the whole world would be like UK we would have such total numbers:
I just count NA EU JP plus a couple of millions for the rest (1.1 Bn)
Wii: 134.2 Mio Xbox360: 83.6 Mio PS3: 55 Mio
So UK is the country which is the most into Home Consoles.

UK has a long history of good developers making games, ever since the 80s. It's less so now with Eidos being bought by Square Enix and a lot of development being moved to Canada due to tax breaks, but a lot of older games were designed by British devs and appealed to British sensibilities and really helped grow the British market. I'm thinking games like Tomb Raider (and the model every game helps ;) ), Wipeout, Little Big Planet and even the GTA games. Although set in the US, they include jokes and humour that most British people would get.

While not really adding anything to this areguement except pointless facts. According to figures I read once Computer Games is our biggest entertainment industry. As in the revenue overall and export/import is better then music and/or films.
Hmm, pie.
^Thinking about it that actually makes a lot of sense (especially with the state of Music and Film in the UK). We just need the British government to realise this and support the UK games industry a bit more.
