I... doubt it. A lot of crap overthere is really heavily american influenced....
Also the economic miracle of japan was facilitated partly due to the US.
I'd guess it's more that the japanese are more patriotic.
Japanese companies even will resist being bought out by foreign companies and merge with other japanese ones to avoid being purchased, even if being purchased would be beneficial.
It doesn't have anything with Microsoft being from the USA... everything with it not being from Japan.
When given the option if the products are similar... they're willing to go the extra mile to go japanese.
If only the USA was that patriotic about it.
