Sales-central.. Japanese hardware sales.

Xbox hasn\'t had any games come out in the past couple weeks, hence there is no reason for people to buy it. It will raise when a good release comes out. GC was the same way when it had a drought last year.

actually, I wouldn\'t be suprised if it stayed this way through it\'s entire life.

I\'m not suprised you would think that.  PDO won\'t sells sytems, same with Project Ego and Shenmue 2.

DIE X BOX DIE !

BWAHAHAHA!  Never!!

Only PDO is a system seller out of those games Bozco. Shenmue II (or Shenmue) didn\'t help Dreamcast. a slightly touched up port won\'t help XBox. Project Ego is too big of scope for Japanese gamers, no matter how good or bad it is.

Games that have a chance to sell systems are Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive 4, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Shin Megami Tensei (to a lesser extent), Trigun, etc.

Atleast I started the list.  Can\'t say I didn\'t try.

well from M$ point of view.......when your Damn Console can\'t even outsell your competitors PREVIOUS Console then i am afraid its GAME OVER.

look lets fact it (even if you don\'t want to admit this a Flop or Close to a Flop)

the X box will never catch or endanger the PS2.

Hey ooseven.. Xbox is outselling PSX.. just not in Japan.

Japan, where there is the larger userbase of gamers.

Correction: Actually that\'s the US.

but japan controls the market

concentration wise,   japan > US

I agree with mm, usually if a system does bad in Japan it doesnt do to well in the other countries. But since X-box was out in USA before Japan it did well. Im sure it still would have done the same in USA if it did release in Japan first. Japan is the top electronic toy/gaming country in the world. They have all those robots and stuff why can we have that stuff! They have a robot that does the moon walk! A ROBOT THAT DOES TH MOON WALK! COME ONE! WHY DONT THEY GIVE US THAT STUFF!

That\'s great but that isnt relevant to the discussion at hand!!!  

Oh, US sells more consoles, i think you\'d find that Japan sells more games.

Nope. The US market is something like twice as big if not more. You need to remember that not only PS1 sold 30 million, N64 sold about 20 M in the same period too in the US.
