It is one of the weakest system launches in Japanese history, only topped perhaps by the Japanese launch of the Atari Jaguar.

Ahh, the Japanese launch of the Atari Jaguar.

A true milestone in video game history.

They should have delayed the launch until they had a strong launch lineup rather than have an early but weak launch.


This is the samething that everyone has been saying. I have no idea why MS did not delay the japan launch and push more system in the states? I mean they had a huge demand and could not meet it.

And they allowed ebay idiots to capitalize on the demand. So stupid now the console will be another flop in japan.

I think it was always a given that 360 would flop in Japan. If they left the launch too late, it would\'ve been too close to the PS3\'s. So they opted to release it early, hoped they might have some luck and lost their gamble. Lose if you do, lose if you don\'t.

The only way 360 can make some headway is if Sony really really really fucks things up.

Naw, the only way the Xbox 360 succeeds in Japan is if MS can procure enough high quality exclusive title Japanese developer support

I\'m going to release \'Magic Tentacle Rape Plus Piglets EX\' on Xbox Live Arcade to help it along.


re piglets reference, search \'Japanese Fear Factor\' if you want to know more ^.^
