To be fair, a lot of people won't buy 360 because it's designed by American since American designed consumer electronics are usually shit and the 360 proved it more than anything else in the recent years with the earlier failure rates. Look at Nintendo consoles, they generally last for like.... forever, Sony's fail rate is a little higher because they are dumb asses that always adept the newer techs that haven't matured 100%, but that's not the case with the 360 at all when you look at what's inside that particular box.

I really like the Wii, it's compact, can stand or be laid down, draws only 18W on full load, very mod friendly, and because of low power consumption with other moving part factors, it will most likely last a long time, not to mention most games are exclusives lawl, not like I can play those anywhere else.

I liked the 360 at the start for the exclusive games at the time, the reason I don't have it anymore is because I'm a PC gamer who gets a lot of the supposed 360 exclusives anyways (also a lot of free DLC that 360 people have to pay for, like well, L4D2, wtf is that, XBL can lick my nut sacks) and so Sony's exclusives looked more interesting to me after awhile since I literally can only play those on the PS3, and I avoid shooters on consoles if I can (but UC2 is hot damn wtf good, that's the only shooter I truly appreciate to 100% on current gen consoles so far) so 360's line up all of sudden went stale on me when I thought that I also had to pay for XBL to actually play online. I heard they also recently raised the XBL prices so good thing I bailed last year lol.

So basically, I don't like how any of them look, their powers are a joke to my PC, so I only look at 2 things, games and value.

Na they have a ton of dating sims......................................

please, nationalism ("racism") has nothing to do with why 360 isn't competing with Sony in Japan.

Every company has a hard time starting in Japan. Brands have a powerful hold on the consumer and it takes a while for companies to seal their place in the market, and even then, they could be associated with something poor. If you don't understand, I'm not going to explain, but brand loyalty beats out almost everything in Japan. 

And don't get it twisted that Japan doesn't like foreign product. Japan very much adores foreign culture.

Every time I've gone to Japan, I brought lots of clothes from thrift stores. Bright tees with american product logos on them, and food, etc etc. People in Japan will pay top price for American stuff. What they do not enjoy, is an American product being foisted upon them. And MS is doing it in a very ham-fisted way. They had a very lackluster RPG buying spree and did not support their product as well as they should have. The controllers are also large compared to others, and much heavier. I could go on and on about why 360 does not do well in Japan, and none of it is because of nationalist, mercantilist culture.

That was 30 seconds of thinking. Yeah, the 360 has no games that appeal to Japanese gamers

What games do they get on PS3 that aren't available on the 360?  I'm talking style of games mostly.

The games I listed are huge in Japan. Last I checked the Japanese people liked Tales, JRPGs, Schmups,  and dating sims(and whatever the heck idol M@ster is). So what did he mean exactly?

MGS4.

Definitely worth a mention too. If I'm not mistaken it moved quite a few consoles in Japan.

The games I listed were only exclusives that I could come up with off the top of my head.

(A lot more then 8 games which is the current attach ratio in America not sure what it is in Japan)

More exclusives(or games that were exclusive at one point)

eatt: Star Ocean
Last Remnant
Magna Carta 2
eatt: Ninja Gaiden 2
Infinite Undiscovery 
Ace Combat 
Beautiful Katamari 
Dead or Alive 4
Dead or Alive Extreme 2
DDR games

Plus a whole slew of multiplat games. Where are these lack of games that Japanese don't care for?

My total of exclusive(or eatt) games is at 27( counting five dating sims, five schmups, and two DDR games)

Edit: Plus Fable II and Halo 3 seem to have sold pretty well in Japan. Looks like the "MS has no games" is kind of stupid

I still remember Nintendo vs. Sega ...oh the console wars back then.

Okay I'll give it a go:
Xbox 360... Um... has HALO...

PS3 FTW!!!!
