ah another ps3 undertrack argument lol xbox almost 100k yoy yes they really back into the xenophobic corner |
It would be doing better if it had games that Japanese people like to play.

Like FFXIII and FFXIII-2? Many titles are multiplatform in Japan but they just don't sell a lot on 360

FF13 was 1 year time delay exclusive ps3.
Not surprising that people already bought the ps3 at that time.
360 was doing well when it was buying all those exclusive jrpgs a couple years ago. They've stopped since, and now they don't really have anything. On top of that, all the games that 360 had timed exclusive, were then released on ps3 with all sorts of additional content. Really, all the multiplat games that are in Japan, are made better on teh ps3.
MS stopped caring, then so did gamers.

other way around.

It sold well with the hardcore.
It's a hard market for a product in which you can import from America for cheaper, but is more expensive than the other consoles (on average) and really only has jrpgs and western games. Not forgetting that Japanese tend to prefer systems where multipurpose is king and 360 just doesn't have a lot of that. It's also missing just a lot of basic features that Japanese are already used to. No integrated wireless for years, battery operated large controllers, no web browsing.
Japanese play more than just jrpgs, and do more on their system than just play games. There's no reason to buy an already expensive system in a store when virtually everything does more, and costs less. 360 is even considered a hardcore gamer's console in Japan.
