Microsoft to release more RPGS to win Japanese gamer's hearts |

The Xbox 360's library of RPG titles have always been sparse compared to its console gaming rivals, but don't dare think that Microsoft doesn't notice or is ignoring that fact.In an effort to lure more Japanese gamers into becoming Xbox 360 owners, Japanese Xbox head Takashi Sensui released a statement that Microsoft will provide more games of the RPG genre, including games already in development such as Mistwalker's Lost Odyssey and Infinite Undiscovery by Tri-Ace.
The timing of the news is well thought-out as well. The holidays is only a few months away, and it's the best opportunity to see if Microsoft's new approach to win over Japanese gamers will prove to be successful.
Doing so will be a feat, however. Nintendo and Sony, Microsoft's current rivals, both appear to be doing a better job in winning people over to their side in the Japanese gaming arena.
Will the Microsoft succeed in snagging more Japanese to the Xbox crowd? Do check this space often to find out!

However its not just that they don't like this nation or that, its so deeply rooted into Japanese culture that they are a superior nation compared to ALL OTHERS in the world. This has been part of their culture for many centuries - hundreds of years before anyone ever hated america

I haven't heard much widespread failures or original xboxes other than the DVD drives wearing out after hundreds of hours of use.
See my previous post though, if its not Japanese, it might as well be an inferior product.

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
