Why Did Xbox 360 Fail in Japan?

[vfguy]

The Japanese game industry is quirky.

Here are a few examples:
-The PSP continues to do very well compared with everywhere else.
-The Sega Saturn outsold the N64.
-The 3DO did okay.
-The Megadrive/Genesis was not very popular.
-The MSX and PC Engine were quite popular in their day
