Also, don't forget there are big, big differences in living styles which make the Japanese market very different from the US. Small homes and high energy prices mean big, power-hungry consoles are less of an impulse buy; great mass transit and high population density means that portable games and media are everywhere (people watch cellphone TV, play games on the subway). Last but not least, Japan's high-tech society puts a premium on training and education of all kinds, so training games are sort of built into the culture, in much the same way strategy games are built into German culture (true story, they love their strat games) or sports games are built into US culture.

I just wonder how many of those PS3s and Wiis are actually being bought to be resold to the rest of East Asia, i.e. whether Korean and Chinese demand might be picking up now.

 lol true... I use to live next to germany.... Blitz Kreig style lol :)....

I agree with you

hum oh and about the last paragraph I don't know but me I buy over Ebay games in NTSCus from taiwan based retailers.... lol it's that way I got a brand new copy of Forza 2 for 40 bucks+ the week of releases :)

so I guess some japs must do the same with the rest of the asian market.... if tawain is selling to USA lol 

What the F*** are you talking about??? Yeah right, we Germans all sit down and plan the strategy for the next attack on France. Maybe this time we go via Switzerland and Italy to make a surprise attack? We love our Blitzkrieg big time and still all think lovingly about the good old days when we were allowed to kill everyone we disliked and could sing all three parts of our national anthem.

Get this guy banned.
