Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

It maybe also MS own name of the product that is keeping it from selling as my friend who lives in Japan said

Its attach rate is better then any other system in Japan methinks. Oerall its sales are horrible, but I think it is making slowly putting its name out there as a viable competitor to the N and Sony systems. I think they should keep trying as they may be able to make a bigger impact with the 720 if the 360 keeps a good name for itself.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

It's a success relative to last Xbox. Last Xbox often sold 250 per week. This one maintains solid 2-5k sales even in slow times. It's a night and day difference. That is how 360 surpassed Xbox 1 life sales some time ago in Japan, despite have a MUCH lower launch sales.

 

360 is even almost a viable console in Japan. I mean, if I recall, Gamecube often sold 10k per week. 360 is therefore averaging 25-40% of Gamecube!

 

All that said, it's still the difference between "horrendous" and just plain "bad" though.

 

Of course none of that is microsofts fault anyway, as the Japanese wont buy a foreign console for strategic reasons. But of course everybody knows that.


 The Gamecube is widely considered to be a failure (even in Japan) so comparing it to that console isn't comparing it to a successful console.



I'm betting half of the 360's in Japan are replacements for previous RROD 360's



The Japenese don't really like AMerican Gaming systems


but we love japenese game sytems though..
