This is true. They support Ninty and Sony because they are both Japanese companies. They are very nationalist, and are taught to be that way in school. In fact, they have only one word to describe anyone who isnt japanese, "Gaijin", or "foreigner" in english.

Like manu europeans hate americans.. and many americans hate latinos or mexicans... there are racism everywhere

Maybe the fact that the console IS so unreliable is undeniable proof that it is an inferior console too. Maybe that is why they won't/refuse to buy it.

well, the 360 hardware failures wasn't really a know issue until a few months into is lifecyle - but even then - Japan still wasn't crazy about the 360 - during that time hw failures were still largely unheard of yet sales were minimal at best.



but damned if the japs weren't waiting in line for hours on launch day for the PSP and PS3



HW failure have little if anything to do with why they didn't care for the 360 other than the fact that it wasn't a japanese product.



so I'm afraid your RROD theory, while logically sound, doesn't apply here as they largely ignored the console since launch day.



its the games that sell the console.



obviously, the japanese don't care for american games either

That was way way uncool, If true. Way way funny if not though..
