And who said Japan doesn't matter?

Me.

They have the worst attach ratios. Part of the reason why Xbox 360 software sales are significantly higher.

Also, they have generally horrible taste in games. Hence, they keep supporting horrible games.

lol opinions. Tell me when a country that's not America sells over 2 million copies of a game in a single week.

China, I heard of the launch of their MMO games will bring over 10 million ppl onine at the same time.

Once they started to support console gaming, it will give the industry a huge boost, 10 million seller would be much more easier to achieve.

On topic, Xmas sales will  give 360 a much bigger advantage over PS3 this year, Kinect>>>>>>>>>GT in America

Yeah, agree. I think 360 will have a great xmas with or without great kinect sales.

Not sure but I think the aim is to get China up to speed with console gaming by 2012.

They are working on piracy prevention.

They reckon 3% - 5% of the chinese households (or was it population, can't remember) will be able to comfortably afford high end consoles and games at that time. With the rate China are turning over a new middle class that might be well below the mark come 2012.

Thats  somewhere between 30m -55m potential sales.

If PS3's love affair with the rest of the world apart from NA continues there....it can be a literally be a game changer.
