I have to agree, this is a very offensive post.

But anyways, the Japanese are much more concerned about product reliability than the U.S. and Europe(I wish the entire world felt this way). The RROD is pretty much unacceptable to Japanese standards.

The 360 actually has games that the Japanese like, 2 games from Mistwalker and 3 from Square and still, sales are pretty weak.

 

If that is the case how do you explain the NES/Famicom, PS1, and PS2 dominating the region.

 

      Actually NEC's PC Engine (Turbografx-16) beat the NES in Japan.

The Famicom sold 19.35 million units in Japan. That's almost double the 10 million units the PC-Engine/TG-16 sold worldwide.

"The PC Engine was extremely popular in Japan, beating Nintendo's Famicom in sales soon after its release,"

The PC Engine was a competitor to the Super Famicom and still the doesn't change the fact that it failed to surpass either in sales. The Super Famicom sold 17.17 million units in Japan. The Famicom sold 19.35 million. The PC-Engine sold 10 million would wide. The PC Engine was more popular than the Mega Drive/Genesis in Japan but that still put NEC in distant second for the generation.
