America is 360s main territory. I think it has something like 18 million sold here compared to 10-11 million PS3s.

Well the 360 is in 2nd place and the PS3 is millions behind the 360 so of course most places will favor the 360.

In my country I'm sure the PS2 is the most popular, followed by 360, Wii and PS3. And if you haven't guessed it, it's mostly because of the piracy.:(

Pretty much everyone on my floor has a 360. My room mate is the only one with a PS3, which I enjoy swiping off him whenever I can, as I had to leave my own PS3 at home :P

So "just wait" lol sorry I had to but seriously that is silly just throwing out some random thought on what the future could be. Going by your thought ....but Sony could still be millions behind the 360 and nothing change from the way it is now.

Jan and Feb were the 360's first AAA's of '09, doesn't seem like much of a wait ... seems like PS3 owners are waiting longer this year :?

Word of mouth is a large marketing tool. I tell everyone who is interested in a ps3 how awesome it is, and show them games if the opportunity is there to do so, if you get one your friends will see it, see its games, and want/get one. Thus, you will have friends who have ps3s

Nope. I think that Microsoft has a strange policy with the other countries of America, so far the only countries in America that has full Microsoft support are United States and Canada but other countries like Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, etc; it is kind of hard for pay to play Xbox live and always the market here has been in control of Nintendo and Sony. In some ways, almost all America is like Japan; the Microsoft console is in last place meanwhile Nintendo and Sony are fighting for get the most sales on the continent; except, as I said, United States and Canada.

Why are you choosing a system based on who has it in your area? Find out what your actual friends have. If you don't have a lot of friends that game, but want online friends, your going to find plenty on any system. Does it matter if a friend you meet online lives in Utah or Finland?

Yeah, I live in Utah also and I only know one person who has a PS3, and he only plays his 360 anyway.

I'm pretty sure that's what he meant, considering he said he doesn't know anyone who has one. Know being the key word.

It's an even split, although I would say that the 360 is slightly favored.

First you say it wrong and second trying to defend PS3 by bringing up AAA games when the 360 has more AAA games on here and Metacritic. Do you want to dig your hole anymore? Want to talk about what console sold more next lol?

So why is your "cool" kid still in last place? Seems weird you saying gamestop employees "dropped their swords" yet the PS3 is still millions behind the 360. If the PS3 was so hip and now as you act you would think it would have at least pasted the 360 or heck be almost passing it or OMG at least not be millions behind the 360 ...then again we deal with SW logic here

I live in England and I'd say around this area the more popular choice is the 360. However, I think recently the PS3 has gotten a stronger fanbase and I've seen a lot of people switch from Xbox to Playstation.

Ha, okay I see where this is going. I don't know why I stuck my nose in it. *insert Lol emoticon*

Point: I play games not sales. I know the Ps3 is in last place, I know. Microsoft is doing a fine job with the 360. Period. Is that what you wanted to hear?

Here in Kuwait I know 25 persons with PS3 and only 3 with 360 (The 3 people who got 360 got a PS3 also) so Playstation brand still way stronger here.

360s seem to be more popular in my area. Other than me, I only know 3 other people who own a PS3, two of which are good friends. The rest of my friends own 360s. Strangely enough, mine and my friend's PS3s have all broken, while my other friends 360s have experienced no problems. What are the chances of that?

I live in San Diego, and Playtations are extemeley popular here. Virtually everyone I know owns one, and everyone I know down at school owns a Playstation 3. Much more common than Xbox 360.

I know about 20 people with a 360 only. I know of 3 people with a PS3 and of those 3, 2 of them own 360's as well. Oh, and I live in Boise Idaho for a geographical comparison. And we are all in our 30's as well.
