I predict that on the eve of the Xbox launch in Japan, Microsoft will ship an unprecidented amount of consoles hoping to meet what they think will be a big demand and put forth a strong showing. Unfortunately, Godzilla appears and crushes Tokyo. Microsoft sets the record for least amount of consoles sold in their opening week due to the high death toll and general lack of interest.

Xboxes sold: 2

Language services three functions. The first is to
communicate ideas. The second is to conceal ideas. The
third is to conceal the absence of ideas.

I think about 25.000 xbox will be sold in the first two days or so, no more

I\'ll make a prediction if Enix makes an announcement.  Until then, it\'s all just heresay.

I predict it will go over about as well as an O\'Henry bar thrown into a crowded swimming pool.

Japanese market reps prefer to sell cute Pokemon-like things which the Japanese seem to gobble up. The PS2 looks like a damn stereo amp that seem to mold right in with most people\'s entertainment system. But the Xbox....it\'s certainly not cute and adorable nor tiny.

who knows? If Sony plans its strategy right, it\'ll release Virtua Fighter 4 when Xbox launches. And VF4 is the Final Fantasy of fighting games in Japan.

From what I\'ve heard, most children learn the English language in school.  People that are under the age of like 25 or so can read and write in English pretty well, but people older than that didn\'t take English in school.  Most people can\'t speak English though because they don\'t have very many English speakers over there to learn from.  But I bet if you write to them in English, a lot of them would be able to understand you.
