Check this out Even better than Wii in revenue http://www.mcvuk.com/news/37081/Xbox-360-and-PS3-buck-09-dip |
And this is relevant to "Xbox 360 losing ground in hardware sales..." how?
Or it supports your "even more dominating than US chart" how?
Off topic, your link shows that 360 software revenue is higher than Wii but not unit sales which just means that 360 games cost more. Why bring revenue (or software, for that matter) into the discussion at all?

All of those JRPGs releasing on the 360 say otherwise. |
Americans like JRPGs too. Hell, locking up the genre was a major selling point for PS1 & PS2 in the west.
Not that Microsoft wasn't making moves towards Japan, they obviously were, but the games they targeted have worldwide appeal.

Software sales are the indication of the popularity of a console. If you follow the UK chart you'll find some multiplats games which get higher sales on PS3 in US actually selling better on Xbox 360 in UK, like Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Which INCLUDES Japan. Read both highlighted. |
Er, I read it. And I'm not disagreeing with you if you actually read what I wrote.

I wasn't arguing with you. I was agreeing with you and expanding on that. I think you're bit over defensive here.

mega lol
Good american product- is that's the reason for the US-trade deficit of about 350 billions?
But I have to admit there are some good intellectuel propertys -like Halo and xbox:P

Yes... please look at the weekly UK software charts. You'll see that multiplats are almost always listed with the 360 and PS3 versions in adjacent (or very close to adjacent) positions indicating that they sell close to 50:50. In the US, the PS3 version is almost always way down on the list, charting many positions below the 360 version. A multiplat selling more on PS3 in the US is a rarity and pretty much always has something to do with an exclusive feature of some kind. In the UK, it happens quite regularly.
The only multiplats I can even remember doing better on PS3 than 360 in the US were BlazBlue, Tekken 6 and Batman AA. Were there any others?
The 360 was always a fail compared to PS3 even at day one.
All the advertising and marketing pushed it out ahead but in the end, after just a few years, the PS3 is not only almost caught up, but the speed at which its overtaking 360 is accelerating. It already overtook it everywhere outside the US and in a couple years it wll have overtaken it here also.
The 360 isn't total trash, they've done a few things better then Sony but overall it's an inferior machine that was rushed to market on a tsunami of Marketing dollars and Red bull guzzling teenagers who were brain-washed into thinking it was the coolest thing ever. They are the same people who buy Cabbage Patch dolls and "Tickle-Me Elmo's" for $1000 because TV told them it was cool. The PS3 didnt' need an advertising blitz, the thing just works and works well.
I predict XBox is going to make another console within 5 years of 360s launch to compete again. And it will probably have a BluRay player in it.
