More American buy the Wii over the Xbox 360.

More American buy Japanese cars over Americans cars.

More American buy Samsung and Sony TVs over any American brand TVs.

More American buy Yugioh and Pokemon cards over Magic cards.

This thread fail on so many level.

tbh.. Japanese = quality while US is not... so that's all rather easy to explain...

 

OT:

 

Obviously both Japan and US have alot of citizens that are proud of their nation and will 'support' it by buying products made by theyre own country..

 

Japanese people are very nationalistic but theyre not buying the electronics so much because of nationalism but because they trust the makers of the electronics..

 

Magic isn't nearly as big as pokemon TGC.. that should be obvious.. and I own ALOT of magic cards (waste of money)

 

altogether, yes the OP is right.. the Xbox 360 even has a little advantage in the UK because UK feels related to US (language and the history of US-wise). Just as the Wii and PS3 have a major edge in these territories..


HOWEVER there is one major factor noone here mentioned.. the Japanese do not play first person shooters while very few Americans play JRPG.. the intrests in these continents are different and Xbox 360 has well established online + Exclusive games as Halo for US and PS3 has great hardware and 3rd party Japan support giving Japan a much better experience..
