The US.
The PS3 managed to sell more units worldwide, but the 360 is more common in the US. The CoD series is also more popular on the 360 than the PS3, though less regional titles are the reverse (FIFA for example.)

The USA is the biggest Microsoft territory Then EU and xbox do pretty well together also.
Looking at past stats coming in at 24 million consoles for the 360 in the usa to only 13 million for the ps3. coming in at 15 million or so were the ps3 did 30 million in the eu. If you add them up they come out pretty damn even in the end 40 million to 45 million.
And the united states is the top game market in the world. With most consoles/games sold per capita bringing in a huge projected 14-15 billion dollar market this coming year. As someone said the asia market. Its a pin dropping in the bucket compared to the USA and EU sales. We will have to wait till August 20 as sony should announce which markets will make launch. Sony would have to dominate the US market pretty much shutting the xbone out for the xbox to trip and fall. And as someone said CoD on xbox is the number one selling game in the world and fuels a ton of the xbox sales for early release content. So with the launch of Ghost at the same time could turn some big numbers over

While we are talking in context of consoles, I still edited your quote for accuracy before someone misunderstands and starts a shitstorm about Asia being the biggest overall video game market.
Either way by the numbers you presented yourself it's pretty obvious that EU is just as lost to MS, as USA is to Sony.
However I have found some really detailed stats about Scandinavia game market here. Kind of sucks that it only shows units sold in 2011 and not total amount sold since the release of 360/PS3. Also note that PC gaming market is not including digital sales, as they are not possible to track.

going by this and excluding fabs 2 3/5 3E and 6, we'd have a total of 140k 300mm wafers or over 300k 200mm wafers per month.
now there are no known facts about the jaguar derivate they are using, but a jaguar core is 3.1mm² in size assuming they are square in from (which they aren't) we'd get a total of 120 8 core modules on a 200mm let's reduce ti to 100 for all the added stuff. that'd make 30million chips and if the yield is anything above 50% that'd still be more than 15 million chips more like 20 million, considering how many products they sell they won't need to reserve more than 5-10 million per month.
For the 300mm wafer we'd get 290 chips per wafer (I'm reducing it again to leave headroom for added stuff to 250 chips). considering all that I'd say that global foundries will not bottleneck it (and I know it might be produced in germany 8) )

Those numbers probably aren't correct. A lot of Asian countries bought a US/EU version of PS/XBOX(MODDED).
