Hmm it doesn't sound far fetched at all. He is using logic based on what he see. Its an interesting read and could turn out to be true. Xbox is in the best position to win the next generation. All they have to do is push japan & Europe and MS could do this easily. But im going to wait to see more info come out.


I don't know if you are joking or not regarding the bolded bit. Exactly how MS could push Japan any further than they have already tried is beyond me and probably MS.

And that you adding the word "easily" means that you are indeed joking or have no idea what you are talking about. You have no idea of how hard MS has tried to crack Japan.

OT: Nothing wrong with a bit of speculation. Anything is possible.

I doubt it will happen and personally I believe all nextgen consoles will sell a whole lot less than this gens but.. who knows. Let time be the judge.

 


Easily was more in reference to the european market. Japan doesn't count for a big portion of home console sales. So i still see xbox winning the next generation.

Then that would make more sense but Japan shouldn't even be mentioned in my opinion.

However Europe could prove to be just as stubborn as Japan. I am not saying it will be but don't take it as a given.

I remember years ago many MS fans raving about "with MS financial muscle Japan shoud be no problem with x360".

Giving it more thought I think the OP has a valid argument but not for many of the reasons he or she pointed out.

Come to think of it I believe mainland Europe could become less important as a market as the economy shrinks and the trend for parents to get  kids more competitive in education and other life skills rise.

This gives the x720 the perfect conditions to significantly outsell the competition just in it's dominant markets N.America, Uk etc.

Let's see what happens.
