obviously japan isnt microsoft best and strongest country but they have improved to over 1.2 million in this gen from the original xbox but my ? is do u think by the end of this gen could microsoft have 2.5 million consoles sold in japan  ????

Yeah they should reach that number.

Depends on how Natal gets received by the Japanese community

if it depends on natal to the japanese community the big names that microsoft have been praising and working on natal ex hideo kojima etc could natal be what microsoft needs with the big talents to increase marketshare their or do they got to keep buying timed exclusive that dont really sell ??

its a toughone but not impossible.

No, I think Japan is forever lost to MS.  MS could have all FF and Gran Turismo games as exclusives and have the 360 cost 1 yen and it would still get stomped.

when 360 reaches 1.5 mill , there will be like 8 million ps3s

damn idk why microsoft doesnt own any japanese studios they got mistwalker kinda 2nd party but havent made an exclusive for microsoft since lost odyssy microsoft needs to stop bein so ignorant and have development houses

it could... bill gates just needs to invent a time machine before the end of the gen and figure out how to be born japanese.

jk lol. well not rly. anyway, it all depends on what natal does, just like everything else does for the box i guess. it's possible, i personally don't see it happening based on what we've seen from natal up to now, but let's hope for some revolutionary tidbit coming from it.

so if natal fails their no way microsoft could get 2.5 million over their
