Would it be in the 360's best interest for MS to pull it out of Japan?

So by your logic SONY should pull out of the Americas considering they are getting pummeled there???

love how SONY fanboys love to jump on the 360 when its not selling well. It has been a huge accomplishment for 360 in Japan. From the last gen:
XBOX = 500 000
PS2= 23 000 000 + more
Thats a 1:46 ratio for every Xbox sold in comparison to the PS2

Now
X360 = 1 000 000
PS3 = 3 000 000
Thats a 1:3 ratio for ever X360 sold for ever PS3

You are calling that a failure. Then the PS3 must be a bigger failure in your eyes as well.

 

      No, the PS3 has had several games that have sold over 1 million copies in the US.  How many games has the 360 had that have sold over 250,000 in Japan?

That's comparing oranges and apples. You can't sell more games than there are consoles. If you want to approach it, do it by % of games sold per system unit

 

 

 no, the best way to approach it is quantitatively.  If the Japanese really wanted them, then they would have bought more 360's and the games for it.  It doesn't matter what a certain percentage of the console's owners have decided to buy.

Sorry but no. You say there are games of the PS3 that sold over a million in US, but no game sold more than 250.000 in japan on the X360. First of all, you are comparing different countries, which means different wealth, different prices, different amount of people, and a different market and desires. Second, you are comparing 8-10 million PS3 units vs 1 million X360 units. So you can not compare it like that. You can compare quantities if you're in the same country or region. You can't compare the amount of games sold in one country who has 8 times as much console units as the other country. That's simply not logical and simply false. If you really need to see how the games are selling, you need to do it by percentage per sold console. Then you see on which console the games are actually selling better. Wanting to know how good the games are selling has nothing to do with the amount of consoles, at least, not if you define it as how many people that have to console actually buy the game. I mean, if there's 1 million console owners, and it sells 250.000 copies, that's pretty good. because 1 in 4 people have that game. But if there's 8 million console owners, and it sells 1 million, it's not really that great compared to the other one, because 1 in 8 people have the game.
