Open mindedness is subjective depending on the topic; each population has around the same amount of close minded people as anywhere else, peoples own personal experience or views can cause bias towards one thing over another and create a stereotype from that exposure. Regarding this situation, I dont believe it has to do with either being open or close minded, it has more to do with taste. The Xbox brand has never fared well in Japan and its titles dont satisfy their gaming preferences, so it tends to do poorly. Americans dont have a preferred company, they just go with which product they think is best at the moment, which makes them a wild card market compared to the Japanese and European gaming market which already has set preferences.
