So? the 360 hasn't even been out for 6 months nor produced a title that the japanese will go crazy after and that is why i said it is slowly picking up steam. The japanese treat Sakaguchi like a god and if his games come out to good reviews as well as various other games, the 360 will have a boost in sales. The 360 just needs some strong rpgs and it will sell well in japan, as the japanese are rpg crazy.
Having been someone who grew up in japan, new consoles from companys that aren't nintendo and recently sony don't do well at launch. The original psx didn't pick up much steam in japan nor the U.S until FFVII and the same thing is most likely going to happen with the 360.
Most of the games out for the 360 are not games the japanese are really into which are FPS and generally racers. When the RPG's start flowing, so well the 360 sales in japan.
sprouticus: Any gamer who truly appreciates games for what they are don't get all fanboyish about systems. Each console is unique in it's own way and has plenty to offer to the consumer. Take the fanboyish crap elsewere.
