MS has atlot of those games on their system some exclusive

No, they don't. The ones they do don't compare to the ones on PS3 or Wii and that's why they're not doing as well in countries like Spain, Germany, France and Italy. And that's aside from the fact that the PS brand is godly in those countries.

Wii games are better then kinect games, and people already have a wii so they might not want a kinect, plus wii was cheaper on launch then 360 is now nevermind 360+kinect

Okay, but Kinect is new and more attractive for soccer moms. Sports games are even more engaging than before.

Compared to last gen they are doing better, but the fact remains they are essentially tied for second, if you factor in the extra year ps3 edges 360 out in almost everything , but I don't like comparing to last gen, people seem to have the misguided notion that install bases carry over gens when that couldn't be farther from the truth, MS is doing well but they aren't kicking anyones butt 

I like to compare to previous gens because it gives a sense of perspective and insight. In terms of a newcomer, they are kicking butt big-time. Nobody expected any of what turned out to happen, so I see it as an over-performance in my book.

What other NA buisnesses do badly in japan other then MS?

I didn't read the whole article, but just the 1st paragraph was enough to help me understand I knew what I was talking about.

1. they do have them and the ones being better on ps3 and wii is MSes own fault, they have very little variety in their quality games

2. Kinect has more appeal then wii? wii is selling more in case you forgot and the sports games on kinect are less engaging because of limited controls and again wii is far cheaper 

3. your book is flawed then being the leader last gen isn't an advantage in a new gen infact it can make you compete with yourself (ps2/ps3) and ps1 was a newcommer and managed to take first so put that into perspective, MS is doing better hten they did last gen and Sony's doing worse but MS still isn't kicking anyones butt

4. most of those companies were japanese ones....
