A pretty damn impressive accomplishment considering they are coming off a predecessor that sold a measly 23 million and the entire Japanese market still refuses to buy their product.

Its the same beast as the PS3 just different exclusives. They set themselves to do the exact same thing. In the western world one small difference can mean a whole lot. In Japan, it needs to have a big difference to break brand loyalty. Thats why Japan refuses to buy it.

think it obvious why xbox does not sell well in japan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nfDwPNTXb8&feature=relmfu

exactly - it's not a matter of brand loyalty like in other continents, japan is quite anti-west products

the comparison of ps3 vs 360 as being "the same beast" doesn't make sense either - xbox has a huge lead in building an online community and being developper friendly which were both winning strategies for them this gen
