Wait they call Xbox fans Pervs and molesters yet their country seems to embrace that kind of crap is beyond stupid |
But they don't embrace it. Anime and the "otaku games" are not very big and often seen as for children. An older person is looked down upon for liking it just as much as they are in America if not more.

Most people simplify the foriegn culture and appreciate the complexity of their domestic one. When I mention anime most unfamiliar think the extremes of it being either for children or pornographic. We get frustrated when our culture is simplified to "all you X think or do blank" yet how quickly we fall into the trap ourselves.
On Xbox in Japan, at this point I am not sure their is a way for Microsoft to crack that market and may just have to learn to be content with going without it in the future.

I think this is true. Ghibli films are treated as Pixar films (great, but for kids) and most other shows are treated with a kind of cautious feelings because of unfamiliarity. Some things have older fans because they grew up with it, but they tend to ignore a lot of the new stuff. Doesn't help that 90% of anime airs well after midnight.
