I heard, lately, it's slowly becoming more popular in Japan.
I prefer Xbox(Microsoft) over Nintendo and Sony.
Nintendo doesn't have enough mature games; Sony (PS) - at least, while PS2 is involved - has a lot of games... But (a) their controllers are ugly and can really slow down gameplay, and (b) their consoles are very fragile; they break easily... And not just internally, but externally, they are less durable than an Xbox; Therefore, Xbox wins.
