It's not about hardware, it's about games. The XBOX360 just doesn't have anything that can interest the Japs (or me, for that matter) currently. Until then, the situation won't change. And by the time there's some Japanese games out for the XBOX360, maybe it's too little too late...They need to get some quality JRPG to the japanese market by end of this year to counter the PS3 or it's all lost for the 360 there.

btw, what's the difference between a DS lite and normal DS?? Might pick up one myself as well...hee-hee.

Are you kidding me? DOA:Xtreme Volleyball 2 is enough to make me break the bank and get me a Xbox360.

You bought a 360 for DOA Volleyball??? doh.gif Umm...great for you, but for most of us jaded hardcore gamers, that'll not be a good reason to buy ANY console. tongue.gif

there will be a HD DVD addon drive so it is 'future proofed' already

With or without the HD-DVD it's irrelevant. Games developer are unlikely to need so much storage other than storing FMV. With next gen consoles, there should be more real-time and less FMV. If needed, developers can always put their games on 2 or 3 DVD-9, which is probably enough for years to come.

I dun see BD-ROM or HD-DVD holds any advantage at all for next gen consoles.(other than for playing movies)

the reason why japs don't buy an xbox 360 is not because it's lacking games. it's just that japanese hate d machine! It wouldn't even cross their minds about getting one. the ps3 market share in japan is virtually assured. Though they were also a bit shock about the price, 5 mins later they're thinking about breaking the piggy banks to buy one. MGS4 is one major factor i must say. and that's not even rpg.

If Square-Enix, CAPCOM and Konami all go XBOX360 exclusive (including all those girl-friend dating simulators makers), you still think the 360 will lose to PS3 in Japan??

It's all about games, not the hardware, but unfortunately for MS, that won't happen.

Hello,

Remember Nintendo?? They're japanese company dude. So, i predict the WII will really kick PS3 arse real hard this time round.

MS deserves the pathetic reception there. They never learn their lessons. They need JRPG titles like Blue Dragon and others for Japanese to take interest. There really is no reason to launch the XBOX360 there without proper support. They could have wait until a few major games are ready before pushing it out.
