Seriously in terms of the high-def consoles Xbox has America on lock down. It's games appear to Americans (Halo, Gears) than any other country. It's recognized more than the PS3 for American sports games (Madden). It was egineered by Americans for the American society. I doubt we will see the PS3 pass the 360 this year in America (It will however pass it worldwide IMO) Here's how I see this gen ending

Wii - Will get it's casuals hardcore and dominate sales worldwide

X360 - Take over it's targeted market (America)

PS3 - Take over world wide (bigger support in Japan and possibly Europe.)

Wii Is appealing to kids and older people.

For Example: My mom wanted a Wii for here birthday (???)

But yeah, 360 is very popular in America.

First off the USA is NOT America it is a part of it. Yes you are correct gamers in the US seem to love games where you blow up stuff like Gears and Halo the most however the Wii is still their favorite console. Plus the 360 is not manufactured in the US, I think it's China or India.

That has no point in this discussion whatsoever, and shouldn't even be mentioned at all.

The fact-of-the-matter is that the Nintendo Wii is badly outselling the Xbox 360 in America, and that's a fact.

It's an obvious fact that the Nintendo Wii is outselling the Xbox 360 and PS3 in America, since the Xbox 360 and PS3 are neck-to-neck already.

Also, please explain to me how I'm a fanboy.

If you go even more technical, it kind of isn't. South and North America are. So using two continents in a comparison? The cheek!

Nintendo (a Japanese company in case you didn't know) has more Wii consoles sold in Europe than Sony has sold PlayStation 3 consoles, yet Europe is still called Sony Land. Why's that? If anything, Europe belongs to the PC and the Wii.

I was asking you in general. It's like, whenever Europe is mentioned, "SONY LAND!!!", but people quickly grasp (you anyway) that the Wii is the most sold console in North America and the continent does thereby not belong to Microsoft. It's the same in Europe, though, so why do people call it Sony Land?

Not surprising at all.

Much like Ipod and Macs are sold by their biggest numbers in the US.

They are US made (yet manufactured in china), that's why.

People tend to go for their own country's stuff.

I don't know why some people do, but I'm not claiming that. I honestly think it's too early to claim anything, But I do feel that Nintendo doesn't get much credit here in SW.

1xcalibur1

That isn't true at all.

Ipod's and Macs are sold in the biggest numbers in the US, because they aren't released at the same time around the world, and by the time they get to eruope or asia, the knock off have sold the market full.

First off the USA is NOT America it is a part of it. Yes you are correct gamers in the US seem to love games where you blow up stuff like Gears and Halo the most however the Wii is still their favorite console. Plus the 360 is not manufactured in the US, I think it's China or India.Mongo-Boss

I must be in the minority then.

Yeah because Americans are proud to purchase crap. Just like American cars the 360 is good out of the gate but a lemon the longer you own it. If you think the 360 will keep it lead in NA over PS3 than you are a blind fanboy. What is the PS2 install base in NA. Do you really think PS2 owners are going to jump to a lemon of a American engineered machine with all the PS3 exclusives comming out. Dont think so. Lemmings are having a harder and harder time defending the 360 these days because the writing is on the wall. RROD, DVD, reached its graphic limit, noisy, lousy to non-existant first party support.
