Japanese developers and Famitsu have no right to bash the 360. Frankly, their opinions are fairly worthless. Thanks to the gorwing videogame industry in the US and in Europe, Japan is now the smallest major reigon in the market, weighing in at under 18% of the total sales and revenue coming from that reigon. Japan may be infamous for their videogames and their love of playstation and nintendo, but the hard facts indicate that Japan is yesterday's news. Unfortuneately for Japan, the industry doesnt need them anymore. Once the largest game demopgraphic is now the smallest, the least profitable and the ONE AND ONLY reigon that the console industry can ignore. Europe and the US continue to grow in size and the viedogame industry and sales of games continue to grow there every single year. Japan is slowly but surely getting left behind, and how they feel about the three consoles in the next gen race doesnt matter anymore
