Yeah, but you've gotta admit that there's support for japanese games on the 360...outside Japan. The fact that japanese developers don't want to put their games on the 360 is something Microsoft can't control. That's a bonus for Sony, but not because Microsoft don't want to have its share.

Yeah, but Microsoft is essentially trying to get Japan to buy essentially the same product. If they cannot differentiate themselves from Sony to make their product stand out the Japanese are just going to say "outside knockoff" and move on.
