1. Over 80% of game sales in Americas is USA, so you can't say Americas is 1 billion people. So you've only shown me that per person, less people buy consoles in Japan then they do In Americas and Europe. An example to furthur show that, the 4th biggest region that sells games in the world is UK. Over 10 million PS360 units have been sold there and the population is half of Japans. 30% more volume for 50% less people. Japan is becoming more of a handheld market.
2. Again these are still small numbers. Next gen they will only be smaller
4. The 360 has actually sold 3 times more units then the original X-Box. Just because you don't think so, doesn't make it so. Don't insult me when you make obvious mistakes too.
So this point alone shows that the nextbox should release in Japan. If Ms can make gains, at all, in that regions it's more then worth it.
5. My point was outside of Japan, JRPG's are still popular on the 360. People still appreciate JRPG's outside on the 360, so making games focused for the Japanese audience will still affect sales outside of Japan. What are you debating?

1] So we can't count them because they buy less? Like we can't count Japanese sales for Final Fantasy XIII because they bought more? It's called AmericaS on the frontpage, not US or Northern America. I don't see JapanS totals or EMEAAS totals, but I do see AMERICAS totals. It's obvious to me that you like to make things look better for your taste (like with the Final Fantasy numbers), but you can't say America's when you actually mean N-America or the US. And the only reason there are less consoles sold in Japan (vs N-America or UK) is because the xbox-brand just isn't accepted over there. I think that if SEGA had released a console this generation then things would look totally different.
2] Your thoughts/hopes, not a fact. You can say things like that when a generation is near it's end, not before it starts. Nobody could've thought that Nintendo would be ruling this generation.
4] The original xbox was far too late last generation, the PS2 was already dominating. This generation the X360 was the first to release and the problems that came with it (R.R.O.D.) made it clear that they wanted to be first to release no matter with this generation. So no mistake made by me, your just trying to make things look beter again.
5]I'm not debating, your just trying too much to make it look good again (does it stop?). 1.8 million sales and you think it's popular? .... Do you remember how much this game was advertised by MS? They even made it look like it was going to be a X360-exclusive in the ads. Even with all the advertising the sales are pretty terrible compared to the PS3-version which had almost no advertising. Just like Kinect, sure it sold more then Move, but $500.000.000 for ads, demo's etc. etc. can make anything look good.

1. Americas region is largely focused on USA and Canada. If you want to make a fair comparision you have to compare USA and Canada to Japan, not the general region. Is EMEAA 6 billion people big? No, same story here. Japan, like South America, is a low volume per capita region for console sales.
2. What point are you trying to debate here? I think you are just arguing me because I said no they shouldn't.
Console sales have been decreasing in Japan since the 6th generation. This isn't a thought or hope (why would I hope for console sales to drop?) Handheld sales have also steadily been increasing every generation.
4. You are just arguing for the sake of arguing here.
5. I'm trying to hard to make what look good? What are you talking about.
Look, you clearly have an issue with me or with people who say "Yes 720 should be released in Japan." Why I dunno, and I don't know why you are literally making arguements with everything I say.
All I said here was that JRPG's are still appreciated on 360, so making games to cater to the Japanese audience will not be limited to the small Japanese audience. One reason I got my 360 was for JRPG's, so obviously it makes an impact on worldwide sales (and general audience).
What does Kinect have to do with anything? Why are you purely just trying to trash talk Microsoft?
