No matter what, the article is poorly written and ultimately fails to prove any points.

Have you seen the future?
Will it most likely fail? Sure.
Can things change? Yes.
I don\'t understand why it is so hard to just wait until the games are out and then judge the console.

We all know how Japanese gamers are as consumers ; own product first. But the size advantage the PS2 has over Xbox is no more with PS3 vs Xbox360.

For most ppl all next gen consoles are still vaporware. More Japanese devs have stated they love Xbox360 development already. Once those games get into Famitsu I\'m sure that\'ll generate more interest for Xbox360 in Japan.

Enough to win the \'next gen console war\' ? Most probably NO.

Ehh, Halo was a Xbox port to pc, not a pc port. It was released on Xbox first.

I think he means it was originally meant for PC, Bungie went bankrupt and MS bailed them out provided they make their game for the Xbox.

Still wrong because the actual PC version of Halo is so crappy that *it* is considered the port. :p

No. It was originally shown off for the Macintosh G4 and ended up going exclusively to the Xbox (at first) because Microsoft bought out Bungie.

So, I\'m still not wrong, maybe on the port sides of it. But not on what it was released on first.

Yes...it was released on Xbox first because of what happened with Microsoft. It was also going to be released on the PS2 as well before the incident. You can read all about what happened here:

Well, if you look through the old PC Gamer mags, you\'ll see that Halo was the super killer app that could run on nVidia\'s TNT2 and was later the killer app for the original GeForce256 and GeForce2. Just shows you how long it was under development. :)

Anyhoo, about XBox being shit in Japan. I\'ve never been to Japan myself and all the japanese people I know aren\'t real psychos. But from what I hear from my teachers and local japs, japanese people in japan are Nazis. The main reason why XBox didn\'t do well and isn\'t going to do well in Japan is because it isn\'t japanese!
