SDick of this size of room myth too. The average size of a house in Japan is almost identical to the average size of a house in the UK...
Ameicans in particular look at Japanese houses and think wow, they are so small... they are looking at it wrong... it is US houses that are so big. All European and Far Eastern houses are small in comparison to the US/Canada/Australia.
Figures from the 2003 Housing and Land Survey conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications indicate that Japan had 53,890,900 housing units at the time. Of these, 46,862,900 (86.9%) were occupied and 7,027,900 (13.0%) unoccupied. Of the occupied units, 28,665,900 (61.2%) were owned by the resident household. The average number of rooms per unit of housing was 4.77, the average total floor area in was 94.85 square meters (28.69 tsubo; 1,021.0 sq ft)

This is definitely true - I live in a decent sized house in the UK, but there's no way that I'd be able to make 8 foot distance between the wall and the TV in my house.

you missed my point.. totally.
kinect is selling gangbusters in the Uk... (incidentally I have kinect in my av room -not my living room - which is a small room and it works very well)... but it wont sell gangbusters in Japan and it has NOTHING to do with the size of homes.

But not everyone who bought a Kinect in the UK will find that their living arrangement is suitable for Kinect regardless of size. So the same can apply to some Japanese homes. Kowinicki, you praise everything from Microsoft like it's the second coming, and you make excuses for everything reasonable that does not support your stance. You're not fooling anyone, man. So just chill, and stop letting your insecurities co=depend on Microsoft.

Whats wrong with you? stop following me around like a love sick puppy.
Whats your reason why kinect wont do well in Japan... stay on topic for once in you life.
By the way... those boxes still in that store near you? what!? you havent been down to check? shame on you.

No more a sick love puppy that's lapping up everything Microsoft throws at him. Besides, I'm cleaning house today and getting the nursery ready for my newborn for early next year. Then I'm planning to go to a friend's to celebrate her birthday tonight. Oh and as much as I'm a Nintendo fan, I bought her a plush sackboy because she enjoys Little Big Planet because I respect people's gaming preferences. And then I have a Sunday School lesson to review for my class tomorrow. I have such a life. Shame on me!!!

P.S. Hey, don't you have some articles to write.
