The last 2 weeks at least Japan has been so backwards from the rest of the world.

Japan = PS3 > Wii > 360

Rest of the world = 360 > Wii > PS3

I wonder why Japan is so against foriegn hardware and software.

They still love the ipod, so they're definitely not against foreign hardware

Windows is also the dominant OS in Japan (unsurprisingly).

The problem with the 360 in Japan is software. The PS3, Wii, DS, and PSP get significantly more software that appeals to Japanese consumers.

If MS really wants to boost sales there, they should probably put together some studios that create exclusive games intended to appeal to Japanese consumers. Or even buy out a studio. They got the resources. It would also please fans of Japanese games around the world.

This is so, so wrong... Have you ever even been to a Japanese game store and seen the 360/PS3/Wii shelves? There are loads of Japanese style games only for 360.

I'm not denying the 360 has Japanese style games. And that might have a lot to do with it performing better than the original Xbox. But the Wii and PS3 have a library that appeal to Japanese consumers more.
