It's going to take a lot more than 3 or 4 games for the Xbox 360 to become a real player in the Japanese market. It's going to take exclusive games released on a monthly basis with Microsoft explicitly stating that they are not timed exclusives for them to have any real impact.

They could have had a good start had they simply paid even more money to make the third party games they were getting in Japan true exclusives rather than timed exclusives. Now they have to work extra hard to gain the trust they have lost.

Of course if Natal takes off many of its games by the very nature of the hardware will stand a better chance of remaining exclusive even without Microsoft having to intervene.

I seriously doubt Natal is going to take off, it's going to be overpriced and probably have basically wii ports, people are only going to be interested in Natal for braging rights, their pretending it's going to be almost virtual reality but it's not even going to be close and one can only guess how many annoying bugs will make it not work right

1. we don't know the price of natal or anything like that. Everything is based on speculation at this point.

2. We don't know if there will be any or many Wii ports because it uses a different technology from the Wii and most of the "shovelware" ports wouldn't appeal to the 360 audience. If there are ports, I could see them being for decent games on the Wii, which won't hurt anything. 

3. Bragging rights? How old are you? 

4. The bugs thing is given with almost any new technology but I could see that being the main issue. Fortunately, Microsoft seem to be trying to make sure the technology works as well as possible for whenever it is released. Otherwise, NATAL would have likely been a holiday 2009 release instead of a ??? 2010 release. 

1. True but I believe MS themselves said it would be around the 200 range

2. Ever think the wii has so much shovelware because of the control system? And Natal will just get sholvelware too?

3. 360 users are already bragging about it don't make this about me

4. lol what? MS trying to make sure they release a quality product that works lol thats funny, do I have to remind you that 360s still aren't within industry standards for electronics are 4 years?

1. Msft has never ''NEVER'' said a price point of any sort.

2. Sure...but we didn't see NiN going around making sure each Dev. was onboard.

3.Sure..and vice versa..

4. Your trolling.

5. Current 360's are in the norm for fail rates...by all in all...you just ignore that uber warrenty.
