People seem confused as to why anyone would care that the 360 is in the lead in South Africa, but you need to keep in mind that N4G picks these articles up from all around the world... This article is from a South African xbox site, so it is of interest for the people who visit the site regularly... since they are mostly SOUTH AFRICAN. Granted, to international readers it is pointless 'news', but to us it's pretty cool.
Good point Prcko, that's going to be one hell of a contest! I know where my money lies, but I'll keep that to myself...
