No, that's not what I'm saying. Microsoft, for various reasons, had a lot of trouble in Japan, including missing out on some games that Playstation got. They also flubbed with that controller, which the Japanese hated. They had PR and image problems. They pissed off Japanese publishers by trying to do business with western methods. Lots of factors added up to the Xbox brand being scorned. Microsoft bought a few exclusives and missed out on dozens more.
The 'racism' thing always cracks me up, though, when there are hundreds of western brands doing very well in Japan. There are like a thousand KFC restaurants there, yet they won't have anything to do with non-Japanese brands? Hah.

When did I ever say it was anything to do with racism, or patriotism, which seems to be the politically correct term nowadays?
I was only implying that your argument of Xbox not having any Japanese centric games was simply not true when the Xbox initially came out. It is true now though.

Even if you had said it you wouldn't be totally wrong.
