Can we please declare the 360 dead japan already please. only 8 k sold for the whole month is pretty embarrassing. as for the Wii, you keep on rocking on the sales :) or should we do rely on the waitbox 360 to actually do something in japan? http://xbox360.qj.net/Japan-video-game-console-sales-from-December-17-to-23/pg/49/aid/110567robotech31

If my heart was a 8 bpm would I be dead?

It's not dead, but it's dam close. Which is fine, since all my favourite games don't come from there...err, except VF5.

500,000K sold since launch is pretty decent. Its only been 2 years, at this rate itwill be 1.5 million in 4 years. That's not bad at all considering Xbox 360 primary focus is North America where it has 1.9 million more systems sold than Wii.

So,folks,the 360 is doing bad in Japan. Did ya hear about this? Ya know how bad it is doing over there?

Audience: How bad is it doing?

It's doing so bad,bundling it with a K-Fed CD would actually help its sales!

Audience: *mild laughter*

It's doing so bad,that if the 360s sales in Japan were a sitcom script,even the Disney Channel would reject it!

Audience: *wild laughter and applause*

The Xbox franchise as we know it will never compete in Japan. It has always been geared towards the western market and until MS acquires a major Japanese franchise (either through purchasing a developer or an exclusivity agreement) the Xbox franchise will be a non-factor in Japan. However thats not to say its dead. With a growing number of JRPGs and other games geared towards the Japanese market, the 360 will be able to sell in Japan, especially once the price is dropped significantly.

You can't really declare it dead, when the fact of the matter is, it is still selling.

Yes, the 360 is dead in Japan, just like the PS3 is dead when it comes to playing video games and getting enjoyment out of it.

Oh Noes, the 360 may get less J-dev support! Where ever will I get linear gameplay that was old ten years ago and incomprehensible storylines. The tragedy of it all.

I guess no glowing orb collecting for us 360 owners either. Too bad for us.

Linear gameplay is only one problem with J-dev. Most of us can agree that Japanese development is in a serious rut and since J-dev is all you lose if Japan does not buy the 360 I can only say who needs it.

Yeah the 360 was still born in japan, in order to be dead you have to be alive at one point. However the TC shouldn't throw stones from his glass house becuse the PS3 is not doing all that much better. The japanese are having a WII & DS craze.

Yeah, I don't know if the Sony fanboys know this, but the Gamecube at its peak used to average 65K in Japan around this time of year.

The PS3 is only averaging 50K.

I really don't give a crap if the 360 does well in Japan or europe. If it sells well in the US, then they make NTSC games, and I get to play them. I don't care if they make japanese games, I can't play them!

Eh? I can't make head or tails of what you're actually trying to say there.NTSC games? NTSC is just a TV and broadcast spec. i.e. NTSC and PAL. Japan is NTSC as well you know.

It's not like the PS3 has Japan on lock either.

Japan is a one-console country, and that "one console" isn't the PS3, it's the Wii. Both PS3 and 360 are destined to fail.

Exactly. If that was the average for the month (4 weeks), that would be 32k in Japan
