So....the japanese are racist because they don't like the 360? Does that make Americans racist then since FPSs are more popular than jRPGS?

"Hell the Japanese may have won!"

Thanks for agreeing with me but that would not have been possible. The Japanese had no navy or air power left by 1945 and they did not have the ability to build boats/planes. They could not have mass produced the weapons and supplies needed to win. Compared to the US who was mass producing everything and had plenty of veteran soldiers from Europe.

This post went completely OT!

Apparently people think the Japanese are still pissed off at the United States for dropping the atomic bombs so they won't by the Xbox 360 as retaliation....yeah cause that makes sense /sarcasm. I'm sure the Japanese person sitting in the store trying to decide between a Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 isn't going "I shouldn't get the Xbox 360, America bombed my grandparents back in World War II!:. :|

I hate these threads because they always go completely off-topic.

"racist to da west"? Really? :|

Believe it or not, jRPGS aren't the only games that sell in Japan. And even there, it's literally reached the point where the PS3 and 360 are just about even in terms of RPGS anyway.

And I have to ask you again, 360 not selling like hotcakes = racism how?

I suppose 360 technoligy existed back then and the Japanese came to the conclusion that it was bad and thus now they hate it??? I really don't know. Maybe the possibilty of 360's exploding in the slimer Japanese homes is a fire hazard.

So the solution is SW needs to be ban from playing with matches? That's no fun, I'd basically never post lol. I still will never get these hisroey ddiscussions though, all it ever leads to is moderation and misconception (I never participate though)

I think Japanese people have many plausible reasons to not buy the Xbox 360 over the competition other than "racism" Have anyone ever looked at the 360 line-up?

If there is anything more than half of Asia supports about America, it's their decision to drop those nukes on Japan. If America had not done something drastic, I believe that more ppl's lives would've been lost. Ppl who did not experience or hear stories from their families about the war in Asia do not really know how horrible the Japanese were in WWII. I'm sure that if those 2 A bombs were dropped in Germay instead, we would be seeing more agreement that they were necessary. Fact is, the 360 is probably selling poorly because they are afraid of competition just like we Americans are afraid of foreigners stealing our jobs.

[QUOTE="ArchaoN"]First of all, I know what the Japanese did and I know how horrible it was... Secondly, no, nukes were no NECESSARY. We could have just as easily used regular bombs for an extended period of time and cut off their resources, which we were doing, until they gave up. This isn't about a history lesson anyway. The point is, there is no way the Japanese will ever accept the Xbox brand as superior to Nintendo or Sony's products, and the nukes have a lot to do with it and I don't blame them.tirralirra

RROD + FPS = no thank you in Japan.

you guys made me look the devil in the post.:(

look at the 360s sales or sales beteen other electronics. For consoles that are so similar (ps3,360) everywhere else in the world one doesnt completely overshadow the other. Except in japan. WHY ?.

also theres no denying there the most popular. SE even knows that.

silentkill62696

Not at all. The 360 is selling like crap in Japan because it has no brand power, its building off the horrid marketing job MS did of the original Xbox in Japan and as long as the box shares most of its library with the PS3, it will lose due to popularity of brand. Not to mention the actual release of games for the 360 in Japan is bare and sparse.

also theres no denying there the most popular. SE even knows that.

There's no denying that FPS games are the most popular here. Is America racist? :o

By the way, I do expect Microsoft to sell at least 75K in Japan this year. (had to add something that was on topic hehe)

if you want horror stories just read up on what japanese did at unit 731, even the worst horror movie couldn't touch what happened there.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731

Vivisections were also performed on pregnant women, sometimes impregnated by doctors, and thefetus removed

Some prisoners had their stomachs surgically removed and the esophagus reattached to the intestines

Flame throwers were tested on humans

Tularemia was tested on Chinese civilians

being hung upside down to see how long it would take for them to choke to death

it's funny how it has largely been forgotten or ignored, nazi's were choirboys in comparison

I don't bear any resentment to japanese living now, was another time, but still. I can understand why older folk who went through the war might have ill feelings towards japanese

According to you, if American products aren't selling like hotcakes, it's racism.

So, if Japanese RPGs don't sell as well as the western FPS over here then it must be racism.

Square-Enix CEO Yoichi Wada is frustrated with Japanese gamers' refusal to give Western-made games a chance, calling the Japanese term for the games "terribly discriminatory."

you gonna argue with this guy about his own ppl

not surprised you wouldnt hate the country A bombed your country not once but twice just to demonstrate their power to the world after the war was practically won.

Erm, you call having to invade japan practically won, they could hardly get them off a meaningless rock.
