"We can learn from Wii", says Microsoft Japan |

Microsoft Japan acknowledged Nintendo Wii's success in the gaming business, with Microsoft's managing director Yasutoshi Magara saying that Nintendo successfully figured out how to bring more consumers into computer gaming.In contrast, Magara also said that Microsoft tried to accomplish the same thing for years, but fell short of achieving that goal.
The Xbox 360 is mostly aimed at 18 to 30-year-old males, while the Wii was aimed towards those who prefer family-friendly gaming and the casual gaming market. "It was very well accepted," said Magara about the Wii.
While Microsoft's executive officer Takashi Sensui acknowledged the wan appreciation of the Xbox 360's software library by the Japanese, Microsoft is making considerable effort in salvaging their place in the Japanese gaming industry. They will be releasing a total of 250 games for Xbox 360 before the year ends, and most probably will include the RPG titles promised by Sensui.

But honestly, why buy an xbox when all the games 'worth anything' are going to computer sooner or later. Computer has a friend list, computer has a gaming community, chances are computers wont be outdated when your xbox is dusty in the attic.

I'll say that the innovative controls were very very fun. Something about drawing your sword over your shoulder and hearing that Ssshhhhiiiiiiin g!!! was badass. Graphics were lacking though. And my main complaint is that horrible god-awful redundant music on the WiiSports.

I would rather get the core 360 than a friken wii.
Seriously, my friend has one and only turned it on once in like 5 months. He bought Metroid Prime.
Atleast 360 and PS3 have an actual online network.

(I got the poor reasoning skills from your post, and your low IQ by your utter lack of any arguement, and need to resort to foul language.)
