360 dead. Not even NG2 sells =(

threads like this should really be locked on sight

they're just so idiotic its amazing. one game does badly....so the WHOLE platform falls on its face.

the 360 is fine. perfectly fine. its not going anywhere any time in the near future. cool it

Few people in Japan even own an Xbox 360. It's by far the least popular console over there because the console has less games that appeal to them, so I wasn't surprised when it said Japan. FB3

What are you talking about? It has more JRPGS than the PS3 and Wii combined! It has even more coming out.

Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma confirmed... oh wait the dude no longer with the company or whatever time he have left with them.

Yeah, had to rethink that one. Microsoft is an American company after all.

Japanese refuse to buy American products but some Americans actually prefer to buy Japanese products. I really wish Americans were as loyal as the Japanese are.

The only reason the 360 is dead in Japan is because the Japs refuse to support an American company. The 360 has much more games that appeal to the Japanese but they still buy the PS3 that has very few games that they want to play.jbz7890

Please show me a link of that.

That's hilarious. Probably the most fanboy-ish excuse I've ever heard.

"The PS3 isn't beating 360 in America because Americans refuse to support a Japanese company. The PS3 has much more games that appeal to US citizens, but they still buy the 360 which has so many less games they want to play. Yes, it's true, because I KNOW what EVERYONE likes, and what they REALLY want to play."

Well thats obviously not true. The Wii is doing the best in the U.S. so your arguement fails right there. I'll go further and say that the xbox 360 not only has more games that appeal to Americans, it just has better games period and should be in first place.

okk...its like sony fanboys finally got a game worth bragging about and they think its the second coming of god himself..

don't you know that japan is ruled with an iron fist by nintendo and sony?

Let me explain you:

Japan's culture is a very complex, closed one. They refuse to buy thinks if they think that a sign of disloyalty to their culture. Video games is their market. Microsoft is an invassor there.

For example, the stocks of Honda falled when the didn't sign Takuma Sato for the F1 team. The damage was SO big, that Honda created an extra F1-Team (Super Aguri) for Takuma Sato to drive in, and try to ammend the damage in Japan.

See?

In America is extremely well known that (being part of an more open culture) japanese products do very well.

That is a very valid argument.

Looks like console gaming isn't dead yet in Japan. :) (MGS4 sells)

Well according to nexgenwars the 360 has 18 million sold & the BS3 has 9 million. So the 360 is closing in on the leader of the pack & if sales of consoles move at about the same rate year over year this means that it will take another year or longer for the BS3 to make it to 18 million. Assuming a steady trending upwards, the Wii & 360 will be around 30-40 million by the time the BS3 reaches the 18 million mark.

It's not closed. It's open but in one direction: to the West, not from the West. Except beef, oil, and/or wood imports.

Japan is a very xenophobic country still to this day in many ways.

Fast food and clothing aren't traditional japanese markets. Videogames are.

MGS4 sold 0 copies in Uganda, PS3 is dead?EuroMafia

Just in, Sales combined for Antarctica and Greenland.

Mario Kart Wii - 3
Ninja Gaiden 2 - 2
Metal Gear Solid 4 - 1

Uh oh...

M$ should avertize on their "faulty" name in japan.

If X=No, then they should sell 360's without a box and in a plastic covering or somthing. That way the NoBox would have no box.:)

Edit: this has probably already been said but, NG never sold well because of its target audience.

DBZ should do better

Even though Sega was founded in America, it quickly moved to Japan, and is usually thought of as a Japanese company.
