well, some must have one, but i think the wii and ps3 probaly dominate there. Thats okay, cuz the 360 kills the ps3 in teh US.

Sure, some people do. But it is by far Microsoft's smallest market. Nintnedo and Sony do much better over there.

The 360 not being a huge hit in Japan has nothing to do with the 360 being an American console. It's due to poor marketing strategies on Microsoft's part. Regardless, plenty of people in japan have 360s. It just passed one million units in sales not to long ago. While that might not sound too impressive, keep in mind the original Xbox only sold about half that in Japan and gaming just inst as big in Japan as it use to be. But if you want proof Japanese gamers do play with the 360, purchase a copy of Virtual On from XBLA. Last I played there was nothing but Japanese players in that game. I played with only like five people in that game that weren't Japanese. Last I played Beautiful Katamari that was also mostly a Japanese dominated online community. But that was almost two years ago, the game is probably dead by now.

Yeah they do. But do to the time differences Japanese and American/Canadian/UK players are rarely on at the same times. Unless you're like me that are on all the time lololol. Also in my experiences Japaneses people tend to shy away from mainstream games like Halo/COD/Gears.
