this is a subliminal comment!
for the "who still cares" people
Microsoft cares, that's who. They said it as clear as day that their main goal was to outsell the PlayStation 3 this generation so that's all that matters :)
and to the "embarassing Japan working in Sony's favor this whole time" people
well the EXACT same could be said about America working in Microsoft's favor
DERP

Wrong.
PS3 fanboys care and they always have. To them, taking 2nd place will allow them some form of weight being lifted off their shoulders. Priding themselves on having the opinion supported by the majority for 2 generations, the PS3 overtaking the 360 will validate their core beliefs. On the plus side they won't be so anal about the 360 once their sensitivity dies down :)
Also, the difference is that Sony has a decent presence in NA where as MS doesn't have one in Japan.
Your point would be correct if PS3 sold as bad in NA as 360 did in Japan.

no my good sir, you are false about me being "wrong"
i'ts not like i said ps3 fanboys didn't care :) and i am in fact correct about microsoft caring about ps3 outselling 360 :)
there are only 2 sides to it, PS3 fanboys and 360 fanboys
360 fanboys of course are the 1's who act like they dont care "anymore" because it's about to happen
and ps3 fanboys are the 1's who act like they "still" do care because it's about to happen
now i was just pointing out that microsoft cares seeing that some people act like "nobody" cares anymore
and 360's American sales alone usually sell on par or a bit more than PS3's American AND Japan sales combined so it's not like 360 is at an utter disadvantage because of Japan or anything :)
and it's not like it's PS3's fault that 360 sold bad in Japan
so if anything the only thing "embarrassing" is the fact that 360 couldn't get a good foothold in japan despite launching before ps3 AND having all those JRPG's on it's console but whatever though..

Its not embarassing at all when you consider the branding of Xbox that MS established with the origional Xbox. Branding means a hell of a lot more then content could ever do. MS simply gave Japan a bad taste last gen where as Sony is more established.
If anything, I could say its embarrassing Sony is still last place despite RROD, more exclusives, being 1st place fore 2 gens, having Japan in their pocket, having free online :)

branding? what do you mean by that in this case? are you talking about them being know as a shooter type console??

idk because the ps2 had like the worst hardware issues before the 360 came around. That didn't seem to dent Sony as much as you would think but then again it's not like xbox was on ps2's ass like this gen either so i guess you could say that :)
more exclusives
yea, as of recently
being 1st place fore 2 gens
yea this was embarrassing =P
having free online
dont forget INFERIOR free online
^^ maybe you should start using these from now on

By branding yes its due to MS not having any Japan specific content with the origional Xbox. Bad branding lead to 360's slow crawl. So ya, "shooter console" to put it simple. O well, when comparing 360 sales to Xbox sales in Japan its progress.
As for your other points......you pretty much agreed with me, even adding that PSN was inferior.
So ya.......guess were done here :)

..so you are saying that the original last gen xbox's not having "any japanese" content basically hampered the Xbox 360 this gen even though it DID have content(even moreso than the ps3)?
lol
Forza and Project Gotham Racing from last gen says hello :)
The Japanese played Racing, Rpg's and a bit more last gen so you are in fact wrong about MS "not having ANY japan specific content" last gen
so they indeed had japanese specific content but it still didn't do anything for them last gen. Xbox 360 OVER delivered with japanese content this gen and it STILL didn't really do anything for them(just like last generation)
it is what it is, sorry :)
so that whole "MS not having any japan specific content with the original xbox" and it hampering the Xbox 360 this gen claim is irrelevant
even though you tried to jump through loops, my point in my original comment still prevails :)
and to the "embarassing Japan working in Sony's favor this whole time" people
