I can't help but wonder if the Xbox 360 is a waste of time in Japan. The software sales seem pretty good and the hardware isn't cheap. But do they lose money trying to market in Japan?

It's never a waste if you offer something to your fanbase, IMO. They made good headway there, as opposed to the original Xbox. They have now positioned themselves to come back next gen and give it another shot.

Well MS can say that, because they have a ton of money they can piss away. But I'm wondering how things will be for the next 5 years? Have they pretty much given up? Will there be a boost from the Natal?

Just wondering how MS feels about Japan I guess.

So with the NPD in feburary out, will we have adjustments? From what I read and saw it was around 70k difference in numbers. Now I understand it could have been a NPD adjustment month but that would still seem like we are undertracking as well. Oh well just wondering
