The Japs..............HUGE part of the market and extremely stubborn when it comes to buying american made products. Overall, the xbox one does not stand a tiny bit of a chance, I think they can beat the wii U in the long run but no chance against the PS4, Cheaper, more powerful, doesn't have to be advertised by it's own company because the internet is always doing that job for them. Also, the gap is closing on the big system seller call of duty series. It's known to be better played on xbox for the general number of participants in the community, online experience and most of all the xbox controller has been well advertised as the best for FPS'. If anyone has paid attention, IGN and alot of other people have been trying to sell the idea that the PS4 controller is better suited to play shooters than the PS3 controller. They even tempted me and I am strong on the 360 controller, I won MW3 money on the 360 got cocky and entered a ps3 tournament without practice with the controller and got bounced in the 1st round.

In the end the only thing xbox can hope to win is north america. and accept defeat everywhere else.

Please don't blame Japan for Microsofts inability to market their product over there.


What do we blame? Microsoft? the world for being in between the two places? languages? I assume you would know how to market to the Japanese. 
Japanese are a weird bunch and sony and nintendo has a clear advantage being rooted in america and Japan. No matter what microsoft does the Japanese simply DO NOT WANT. 

It's kind of a mystery why xbox can do well in othr places but not even be looked at as a legit system in Japan. Maybe they don't respect american tech. They are admittedly a brilliant bunch. 

Easiest guess is to say they would rather stick to their own. It does help their economy, Why buy a foreign product that does the same things as one produced in your own land? If I lived there I probably wouldn't buy an xbox either.
