Microsoft is not the problem with Sony in Japan, its obviously Nintendo. Japan is now incredibly casual which is what the PS3 is not.

Proof? And who said microsoft was a problem? I said they weren't one. Also nintendo is doing great in japan, but that doesn't mean the ps3 can't either.( coming from a big nintendo fanboy).

 

 

Look at every console that's winning in Japan.

DS, PS1, PS2, Wii. Does that even need an explanation?

Hardcore gamers buy game on day 1 (look at FF and MGS4 sales number), casual gamers buy stuff whenever, (look at legs of MKWii and Wiifit)

 

you can even argue that SMG and MP3's failure to attract attention is due to the oversized casual fanbase

Of course the most casual always wins, but that doesn't mean that japan is as casual as jenny makes it out to be. There is a great number of hardcore too. The thing is all of those consoles you mentioned also have another thing in common. All of them have games that the japanese are interested in. Now you could argue all you want but the wii obviously is the most japanese centric console. Also I don't really see  smg almost hitting 1 million in japan bad. It could reach that goal eventually since it has incredible legs.
