Now see, here's the problem.
Japanese gamers like their Japanese games. American gamers have a completely different taste.
360 is a platform for American games. Its biggest games are FPS games. Look at Nintendo. Nintendo sells amazingly well in Japan because it has a style of games that Japanese people like.
What inafune hits right here is that not all but a lot of japanese games are stuck in the 90s. We're talking about games like dead or alive, tekken, megaman, ninja gaiden....stuff like that. It's too old. Those games are failing. However, Japanese games aren't failing, Japanese games are fine, it's just a specific portion of Japanese games aren't able to do well out here...those 90s era type games.
360 has a lot of new games, but doesn't really have much else. All those jrpgs they bought, JRPGs don't really push consoles so much, unless you're talking something really huge like FF or dragon quest etc etc...
I mean, it's pretty straight forward. the highest selling games in the west are FPS games. The highest selling games in Japan are Nintendo and RPGs. You have a console that is 75% FPS and obviously it's not going to fly in Nintendo/RPG land. It's simple.
