I'd say about maybe 20% of those don't have PS3 at most. The rest have Wii. Really from the Japanese perspective, unless you're an extreme fan of the Western games/culture, you wouldn't want to purchase solely a 360. There just isn't that much Japanese centric content that is exlusive to the system. Most of the titles that were Japanese centric have eventually gone multiplat. I don't know how the next Xbox will fare in Japan, I don't see it outperforming 360 by much, unless of course it gets alot more Japan centric content early on, original Xbox built the base for 360, but after that I really don't think that the foundation can be expanded any further than what it is now/will be at the end of the gen. |
It should be noted that the 360 has a small but fairly dominant console niche in the Otaku gaming market. They've got the second largest userbase of Dating Sim / Shmups (the largest being the PC) and while the number is not significant it is a grassroot thing that can stick.
