Microsoft Admits to Trouble In Japan |

Even though Microsoft is trying tremendously hard to push the 360 in Japan, it just isn't selling well at all. Whether it's company loyalty, ethnic loyalty, a difference in cultural desire, or something else, they know they must act fast. Microsoft seems to think they have a trump card though, two Hironobu Sakaguchi RPGs which will debut around the time that the PlayStation 3 comes out."It's not necessarily about making money in the early going. We made a commitment in Japan - I made a commitment to Japan - that the problems we had during our initial launch during Xbox 1 we weren't going to repeat" said Xbox spokesperson Peter Moore in an interview. "And I think more importantly, Japan publishers are totally and firmly behind the Xbox 360 platform. They look at what we're attempting to do in Japan, but more importantly, what we are doing in North America and Europe".
But someone in Japan is admitting to trouble, "Globally we are doing very well but Japan has always been tough," said Microsoft's Japan president and CEO of Darren Huston during a company event. "We launched early and with not enough Japan-specific content" adding that "I can't say I'm beaming with confidence in Japan"

you'll always make SOME mistake.
the important thing is to make the consumers THINK that xbox is BETTER.
it's not gona happen by making it the official console of 2006 worldcup.
it's not going to happen by making it able to stand on itself.
it's going to happen by becoming the easier alternative(che ap AND fun)
gamecube was cheap but all the fun was in PS2
etc.
xbox 360, just measly 6 or so japanese developed games out of 100 estimated isn't going to help much.
they got the cheap right, so they need to be less greedy now.
OMFG I'd be able to do so much more than those bastards....
so will most of you too.
they SO SUCK...

I want a "gaming console"
So I would buy a 360 and wii...the main focus of both the 360 and wii..is games(the 360 has media funtions...it connects to an ipod...to PCs...to media centers...has wi-fi...and focuses on games)
The ps3...focus on the Cell and Blu-ray...both of which don't have "games" as the first priority.

An media center has seperate components.
You shouldn't have to piggy back off of a PC for extra data storage and data arangement. That is what the Xbox 360 does. It should do these things by it's self. Expansion by way of USB is used as a scapegoat to hide the fact that the device should have come with the device in the first place. We need something that does more than play games but still offers very good entertainment quality with games.
