| pokoko said: Or it might be because Playstation has far more Japanese games than Xbox has. If one console had most of the titles I was interested it while the other only had a few, I would go with the former. I don't really understand this need to blame something so obvious on, "but the Japanese don't like American stuff!" The same Japan that has like 1,000 KFC restaurants? You've only to look at the fact that some of the more popular third-party games in Japan are only on Playstation to understand why this has happened. Maybe you can blame third party publishers for not putting everything on the 360 but there probably isn't much gain in that, from their view. |
The Japanese LOVE American 'stuff'. They don't love a lot of american produced tech, though.
If you recall the early days of the 360, MS broke the bank to secure exclusive JRPGs and thing sliek Ace Combat in order to appeal to japanese gamers. In the end, gamers there mostly stayed local to a japanese brand, and didn't bite. MS didn't make the right move. The right move would have been to ignore japan and focus on Europe.
