Oh you can also see pictures from the Konami release of Dance Evolution for Kinect, (Dance Masters) at the Konamistyle store in Tokyo. They are also selling Kinect sensors/Kinect 360 bundles. Naoki Maeda was also there.

This could be a good sign for X360 in Japan if Kinect catches on over there.



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to KinectPS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

Bu bu bu, teh small roomzz!!!

 

No but in all seriousness my friend has Kinect in japan and he lives in a 6 tatami mat studio apartment, both him and his girlfriend love it, but she is kinda hardcore though, only Japanese girl I know of that plays Gears of War 2.



This is a conspiracy I tell ya! There must be an explanation!

My theroiez:

1-That was the only  store in all of Japan that was selling Kinect.

2-Microsoft paid all those people to stand there with the 500 million dollar budget.

3- Photoshopped - those people were actually in line  for PSP's God Eater.

You guys should know this isn't the first time 360 has had lines in Japan. When Ace Combat launched sizable groups were lined up. 



 

Oh damn! It's released today!? I was just heading out, kinda late (not really)... I'll hurry a bit then! Gotta see them lines!



Wow, that's pretty impressive.  I'm a bit surprised.  360 top selling home console next week in JP?

 

And Yodobashi Akiba - how much I would like to go back there again...  That place is amazing.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

This. A disgruntled MS employee revealed that his company bribes Japanese gourmets to stay in line for launches with Kentucky Fried Panda and other endangered species delicacies.  O-)

Kinect is imo MS last chance to get a good grip on the Jp market..looks like it's off to a good start..

EDIT: Use of 'japs' has been moderated. -d1
