I think the problem is the xbox360 lacks good games. Halo and i suppose now gow can only push a console so far. What should alarm xbox fanboys more is the US is the only territory it's selling pretty well at all. Scary stuff.

I think a better way to put it would be that the 360 lacks many games that appeal to the Japanese market. GoW sold a shit-load in NA, and because of it MS sold a ton of 360's during the holiday season as well. Saying the 360 lacks good games is completely subjective and an extremely minority opinion. It has multiple million plus sellers.

360 lacks good games? What planet are you from? The 360 already has Gears of War, Call of Duty 2 & 3, Oblivion, GRAW, Gears of War and Madden 07 for million sellers in the US! Not only that, the 360 has Crackdown, Lost Planet, Mass Effect, Guitar Hero 2, Blue Dragon, Halo3, GTAIV, Madden 08, NCAA 08, and a few others that should hit 1m this year! Everyone talks about how Super Mario Galaxy and FFXIII will do great, but they forget that the 360 has tons of 1m+ sellers in the pipes this year. The Wii and PS3 will have maybe 2-3 the whole year. The 360 has sold far more software than either console in the US, and nearly could do their business combined in software at this point (and did in November and December)

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Notice what is bold... The 360 in japan is a shame... But it's doing great in America. Europe, I have trouble saying one way or the other... it depends on how the PS3 launches. If the PS3 launches with over 1million in Europe. It's gonna take alot of good games and better sales...
