you wouldnt call 1 million consoles a foothold in Japan then?

oh...and you completely missed my point.......

In relation to the amount of money they have thrown at it? Quite frankly, no.

 

Take of your fanboy glasses. MS has made a huge headway into Japan.

From

1:26 ratio for Xbox vs PS2

to

1:3 ratio for X360 vs PS3

 

Yes, much better. Only they had a big head start, have cut the cost of the system massively, and spent a fortune buying exclusives, none of which have put out. As it stands now, HW and SW is getting owned, with no big games on the Horizon, and owners with nothing to look forward to but E74. Great.

 

What don't you understand??? Big head start??? Only one year while the PS2 had two years on the Xbox.

SONY=Japanese company

MS=American company

Man SONY fanboys are now happy their lead over the MS console has dwindled?? You say its much better but its getting owned??? Even MS didnt expect to sell more 360 than PS3 just to make Japan not a huge user base for SONY which it did achieve.

Are you really happy that SONY has lost the 22Million lead they had with PS2 vs Xbox?? Now its down to 2Million.

Also they released early because they were smart. They didnt need bluray and didn't sit on there ass gloating about the PS2 like SONY. Headstarts happen due to strategy and hardwork. Same thing happened when SONY released the PS2.

Time to take of your fanboy glasses

 

What is your point? The 360 is dead in the water in Japan. Why are you going on about PS2? Even that is outselling the 360! Yes, MS did better this time around in Japan, but it is already over for them and the PS3 is just getting started...
