Why the heck would the Japanese care about NFL Fever? Didn't they have any other games?

They had other games but not a lot at that point, though I have no idea why they'd even bother bringing over an NFL game.  Maybe they were just showing everything they had, even if they weren't localizing it.

If you want to read an interesting article about it, try this:  http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-12-13-why-xbox-failed-in-japan

Thanks doe the article. It was a great read.

When I went to TGS 2008, they had a very strong presence there. Then, they were trying to establish themselves in Japan. Fast forward 7 years and it's clear, even to Microsoft, that Japan is not interested.

You went to TGS 2008? Cool!

Yes. I still have my photo albums.  I also went to E3 2011.

Wow! What games were announced in TGS 2008 and E3 2011 that you liked when it was released?

Honestly in TGS 2008 I was too busy flirting with the Japanese booth babes. I vaguely remember LBP, Killzone 2, Yakuza 3 and Biohazard 5 being displayed as well as the improved Advent Children movie by SE. Then I was distracted by the cosplay girls in the lobby... I was 21 I please understand!!!

As for E3 I met a few VGC members. I think his username was nightsurge... and I remember him specifically because he was like 5 feet tall. As for games Uncharted 3 and Resistance 3 were the games I wanted and eventually owned and loved. Dark Souls was another game but I never actually purchased. I also got to get my hands on the Vita... which was a big deal then because it wasn't released. The Wii U tablet was shown off but that was of no interest to me. The games I liked and purchased later then regreted were Zelda Sky-something for Wii and Stree Fighter X Tekken.

Here I am with the cast of Uncharted 2

Who wouldn't flirt with hot japanese booth babes? From left to right, who are the people?

Probably a couple people would show up. Reminds me of a show where this old wrestler would go around setting up fan autograph booth at weird small town events.

That's pretty cool man. Hanging out with the ND crew. Nolan North is a spectacular VA. Oh btw, are you from Cleveland? I just noticed the Indians cap. I was born and raised in Cleveland, OH.

I'm thinking that TGS itself is dying. Nintendo and MS are ignoring it so how long before it becomes a mobile only event and consoles leave it altogether?

Holy crap. What are the odds? Yep, I'm a Cleveland boy XD. Lived in Lakewood most of my childhood and University years. I only recently moved out of Cleveland. I miss that shit hole.
