360 in Japan 2009. LOL

[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

You guys make good butlers but have horrible teeth. Go see a dentist.

See how easy of a generalization that is? Stop making broad generalizations because of one "idiot".

"Even now, there have been people in Japan using the label youge- (Western games) with a terribly discriminatory meaning," said Wada. "I'd like them to try it once. If they play it once, they'd realize how incorrect that label is."

SE ceo

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."

This just in:

Silverbond has called the attitude toward JRPGs terribly discrimatory. Why don't they sell as well as FPS?

Americans are racist.

Because clearly, what one guy says is undeniable fact.

I'm sorry, and I know I get this from British culture, and THIS is the reason why everyone thinks the US is full of idiots. Someone keeping a tally?

Yeah, you're right, it was a bad generilsation, but the same comment was made by more than 1 person. And im not British, technically.

wow what happened in here every race and group of people have done some very horrible through out history i just wanted to say that

but on topic i dont think the japanes are racist they like aot of apple products and american culture i think the reason they dont like the 360 maybe is because it doesnt appeal to them and to be fair it does have its share of problems and the jrpgs on the system are not anything real good and face it nintendo and sony have been in the gaming business for 15years plus so they got more brand power over there and games that appeal to them more .

I just think your wrong in saying that the japanese people are somehow racist or bias against the 360 and i just read your other post and going by that ive heard alot of people say they dont care about japanese games or jrpgs with racial slurs in amercia but they dont represent the majority you are generalizing

Sorta like the 360 in Japan. :o

ok back on topic the xbox probably didn't sell well in japan because it didn't have enough hentai games about japanese schoolgirls being violated by tentacles.

we all know that's true.

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

Silverbond

There's a large difference in buying habits, while FPS are popular in the U.S, JRPG's still have had great sales in the U.S with numerous titles selling well over a million, in Japan it would be almost impossible to list a few FPS to ever reach one million in sales. Some JRPG's have even gone on to sale more in the U.S than Japan. Western countries for the most part are more willing to try Eastern games than the East of Western games.

sales show that alot more give a chance in the usa to japanase games then japanese to western.

like I said jrpgs are popluar. Not as much as fps but still popular. In the west i dont hear a negitive word for jpn games either

Maybe the Japanese are not intereested in the 360s line up?

Or the fact that PlayStation and almost anything from Ninty is huge there?

I think its just their lack of effort in researching Japanese interests and develop attractive products for them.

racist no, i would say they have a better taste in gaming in general

[QUOTE="taj7575"]

Racist? No. Nintendo and Sony are both based in Japan, so they will sell in Japan.

taj7575

here in the west a consoles companies place of birth (since sony and Microsoft are both international companies now) hasn't had much effect on how well it will sell. Look at the ps2, ps1, nes.

Well MS is more popular here in NA that the ps3. Besides, MS is still new to console wars. People in Japan have been playing Nintendo, PS for a while now, so they are used to it. Thats why it's balanced in NA, because people will buy MS products, yet there are people who are used to Nintendo and sony.

I think its just their lack of effort in researching Japanese interests and develop attractive products for them.

PSdual_wielder

wow no one cares. I doubt Microsoft even cares. Im assuming 90% of their focus are on North American markets, Japan is just a third wheel to Microsoft. Plus its pretty much natural for Japanese people to pick a Sony product over a Microsoft product. (you know its true)

Japan LOL

That's because it's the only console from a foreign market. All of the others are made in Japan.

Of course, taxes also play a factor there.
