Kildace said:As I keep saying in each and every media create thread: it comes down to advertising and marketing. Microsoft never advertised its XBox and barely advertises the 360 in mainland Europe so obviously people keep buying playstations.
The day microsoft decides to truly push its console in mainland Europe, things might change.
Hasn't Germany also banned quite a few 360 games due to violence? Seems like I remember games like Dead Rising, GoW, etc basically being shut down there (I'm sure there have been many others). With cultural differences like that, no amount of marketing is going to overcome the fact that you can't put the games out on the shelves. Its like when a movie is released in the US and is rated NC17 - it is going to have a limited market.
