No it isn't Halo is at best average
You just don't know it better cause you probably never played really skill based shooters
Shooters in general aren't liked that much there.

Japan isn't racist - Apple is doing fine.
Every game they want is on the PS3 or other platforms they like and they only want those games at those platforms.
After this Gen they hate Microsoft probably even more cause on the beginning they were on a shopping tour and bought a lot of the games that forced some of them to buy a 360 just to see ~ a year later the same game 10 times better on the PS3.
And the Microsoft/360 is for many people the reason Final Fantasy had such a straight downfall in quality cause Wada is in love with the west.

Its either Karma or anything else but all this aggressive shopping on the exclusive list of Sony at the beginning of this Gen didn't help them at all.
It probably made everything even worse.
And the 360 had the advantage the PS3 was damn expensive and hard to develop for.Especially cause most J-Devs are poor and couldn't risk and afford the wait and transition over to the PS3.They had to take the offers.
Most J-Devs are for years now back at the Sony camp - Now it adds up the PS4 is easy to develop for and people get slowly the interest back at J-RPGs and stuff even outside of Japan.
Microsoft won't get anything except for maybe the bad(not the Nomura games) SquareEnix games and who cares for them?They will get worse and worse

Don't assume anything about me buddy. I've been playing shooters since Wolfenstein. The Quake series is my bread and butter. I have the original installed on my Windows 8 machine right now just to replay it all these years later. I've played so many shooters you'd think I'd be sick of the genre, but I'm not. Duke Nukem 3D, Half-Life, Unreal, Dark Forces/Jedi Knight, Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, and on and on and on, I love them all. But Halo is my favorite. It's the series I most often come back to. Don't tell me it's average at best, because it's far above average.

As for your little history lesson, it's about as accurate as a blind biathlon marksman.

It won't be a problem. He also has a PS3 for things like this.

It will be interesting to see MS's strategy in Japan. Will they go all out to try to win it or basically ignore it as a lost cause?

Guess they will try again,may not as big as 360 at first few years

Ah yes. Forgot about that. Still I dont really see what they can do to win Japan over. They had a slew of jrpgs including popular timed-exclusive ones as well as a variety of other games. Maybe try for Monster Hunter?

For the same reason the west doesnt like games like dragon quest or the tales series, they all have different tastes

MS should make a rape game with 12 year olds and the nextbox will be an success. Make it only playable with Gold and add every few month a new child and cash in!!!

I'm really curious what Microsoft will do for Japan next gen. No question Nextbox will release over there, but with what titles? They tried hard with the JRPGs early this gen to no avail. I think they might have a big game for that market alone, something Monster Hunter? I know its not popular on consoles but they might try.

Yeah, games like tales of vesperia were indeed popular, would have sold a lot more if their was not a limited supply back then.

If you think 100k sold in the US mean people like the games then Japan also likes FPS and way more proportionally to the US who has 3 times the population

That only matter if the game is huge as DQ in Japan. Otherwise, same numbers (or even better) means that we like as much if not more than they do.
