1] Also Japan is the weakest territory for all home console manufacturers, so I wouldn't expect strong sales there anyway.

2]When I say PS3 didn't do that well in Japan, it only sold 5 million more then 360.

3]Japan isn't a console loving territory, but it's something.

4]Besides 360 sales in Japan > X-Box 1. I think Nextbox can do a touch better.

5]As for FFXIII, I should have looked it up, I thought both games sold about 2 million outside of Japan. Regardless, FFXIII still did well on the 360, so it shows some 360 owners appreciate the JRPG genre games.

1]Japan is just a small territory, Japan isn't the weakest territory for the Wii and PS3, only for the X360. Is South America counting for the Americas territory?

Japan: 127 million people, N-America: 529 million people (x4.2), Americas (N+S): 1.091 million (x8.6). 

PS3 * N- America: 20.6 million * Japan: 7 million - (x4.2) = 29.4 million - (x8.6) = 60.2 million.

Wii * N-America: 41.8 million * Japan: 11,8 million - (x4.2) = 49.6 million - (x8.6) = 101.5 million.

X360 * N- America: 32.9 million * Japan 1.5 million - (x4.2) = 6.3 million - (x8.6) = 12.9 million.

Totals: N- America: 95.3 million * Japan 20.3 million - (X4.2) = 85.26 million - (x8.6) = 174.6 million.

2]5.5 million not 5 million.
3]It is, get your facts right. In 2 posts you're way more wrong then right. ;)

4]I don't think so, I think they shouldn't have pulled out the X360 in this stage.

5]1.8 million vs 4.7 million - 2.6 times more sales on PS3. Is there any other 4 million+ multiplatformgame this gen that has so much diferences in sales between PS3 and X360? Only Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock has 2.11 more sales on X360.

1. Over 80% of game sales in Americas is USA, so you can't say Americas is 1 billion people. So you've only shown me that per person, less people buy consoles in Japan then they do In Americas and Europe. An example to furthur show that, the 4th biggest region that sells games in the world is UK. Over 10 million PS360 units have been sold there and the population is half of Japans. 30% more volume for 50% less people. Japan is becoming more of a handheld market.

2. Again these are still small numbers. Next gen they will only be smaller

4. The 360 has actually sold 3 times more units then the original X-Box. Just because you don't think so, doesn't make it so. Don't insult me when you make obvious mistakes too.

So this point alone shows that the nextbox should release in Japan. If Ms can make gains, at all, in that regions it's more then worth it.

5. My point was outside of Japan, JRPG's are still popular on the 360. People still appreciate JRPG's outside on the 360, so making games focused for the Japanese audience will still affect sales outside of Japan. What are you debating?
