Has Microsoft ever said they plan on winning the console war without Japan? As far as I know they haven't...
Microsoft has (in all likelihood) spent billions trying to win over Japanese gamers. From discounted systems (Premium 360s in Japan cost nearly $100 less than in the U.S. during the launch of the system) to games such as Blue Dragon aimed at the Japanese audience, it's clear they've bent over backwards to win over Japan.
Despite their efforts however, they're doing poorly in Japan. Not because Microsoft doesn't care, but because Japanese gamers don't.

The 360 does NOT "keep up" with the Wii in any region. According to BBC, Wii is outselling the 360 by a 3-1 margin in PAL regions. The Wii also sold nearly doubt what the PS3 and 360 sold COMBINED for July NPD.

US is the reason why 360 will win, NA is the biggest video game market, almost 1 billion usd spent in july alone, and 360 has a massive stake in that
I really think Microsoft just can not connect with Japanese gamers. They have changed and really don't like regular games and the ones that do are in love with the playstation brand and will not change to microsoft because they do things very similar hardware wise but. The 360 has better software just software that does not intrest the Japnese market.

US is the biggest market but it doesnt mean that with US alone the 360 will win, EU and japan together makes a larger share of the pie then US alone.

That's why the 360 will be in last place. Sorry Lemmings.

PS2 sold half of it's consoles 110+ million in the US. PS2 only sold 20 million consoles in all of Asia including Japan. So Japan and Europe together does not necesarrily mean a larger pie than the US.

People forget that although the 360 doesn't do well in most of Europe, it does sell well in the UK, PAL's largest market. As a result, the total PAL numbers between the PS3 and 360 are always within 5000 of each other per week, either way.

Right now the 360 has sold more systems than the Wii has in the US. Yet because of Japan the Wii has sold more systems overall.

What about Europe? I'm sure the Wii has sold more systems in Europe than the 360 has as well. =/

The PS2 sold 120 million worldwide and 45 million in the US.
If you go by Vg charts the 360 has sold more in Euroupe as well according to them but the Wii has sold more the 4 million more in japan the the 360. If those sales were equal the 360 would be about at the 14-15 million mark.

actually your off by about 15,000,000. PS2 sold 120+million while it sold about 45million in the US. Us is that largest market but together the other two [main market] is larger. 360 could do extrememly well in the US but if another console has half the sales of the 360 in US and has a equally large install base in each territory then the 360 lost.
I think Japanese people just won't buy it because Xbox isn't made by Japan. They only want to support their own companies. Xbox is pretty much a foreigner and unwanted to them.

Explain why the iPod thrashed Sony's digital music players, only to itself face competition from cell phone manufacturers (many of which are in Korea). No, the Japanese don't want the new Xbox because the last one didn't appeal to them. It was a console for Westerners, and while more people are willing to give them a shot this time around, MS is still not going to make enough in Japan to make it worth the effort. Personally, I think MS should just spend the resources they're wasting in Japan locking down Europe - if the Japanese don't like it, they can play their own consoles.
Wait did anyone think it even stood a chance at this point? 360 is prettymuch set for dead last in the end.Lazy_Boy88
Fanboyish comment but sadly I agree, I seriously can't see the 360 catchin up with the wii and keep its lead over the ps3 for too long, it's a brilliant console (faulty hardware aside) but it just can't contend with the 2 big dogs at their best.
