"Due to those countries not liking Japan."

Is that statement more, or less racially loaded than "Europe doesn't buy the 360 because it's American?"

It's not a racial issue, it's a national one. And loaded or not, both those statements have a kernel of truth.

Europeans typically favour Japanese products over American, as they are generally considered to be more reliable. And Japan has made a lot of enemies among it's neighbours.

You are kidding me right? People, have you BEEN to China, Taiwan or even Korea? or even know anything about their consumer behaviour to make that statement?

 

none of the country on that list dislike Japan as a whole, they might have some hatred in the older generation (60+) but those people are hardly those buying consoles.

Why 360 is beating PS3? Piracy issue. you can mod your 360, you can't mod your PS3. Go to China and check it out. nobody buys full priced games. And frankly, can you blame them? GDP of $3000 per year and you are expecting them to pay 60 bucks a game?
