Something else I find funny for those that bang on about Japan still being relevent for HW sales, 360 has sold more HW in the US than the big 3 combined in Japan.

Let's be real, Japan is one small country compare to North America.

Yeah I just find it amusing when people tout the need for support in Japan to win a gen.

People do overstate its importance (especially consoles, but it's a major force on the handheld front). Still, the winner of Japan tends to get all the third party games from the country. The resulting Japanese games end up selling more systems overseas.

This is why I argue against those who feel MS should give up Japan. I bought my own 360 (now have two in the house) because of the Japanese support they paid for. I suppose that means one doesn't need to win Japan to obtain Japanese support (when one is willing to moneyhat), but... I guess the PS1 is the best example. Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Tekken, and MGS played a huge role in the PS1 dominating overall, what was going on in Japan affected the rest of the world.
