Forums - Microsoft - Why does 360 suck in Japan?

i created a thread about why ps3 sucks in japan now, but why does 360 epically Phail in japan ? like they have the best selection of jrpgs (cnt name em all), but there allrite. 360 is doing 2000 on avg in japan which is very very poor. should microsoft give up on japan? have they already gave up? what should ms do for their next console in japan? or should they even try?

 

also username2324. i dont troll sony at all. im ""trolling"" 360 rite now. i have a ps3 and i love it

cause its an american console composed mostley of FPS, which are not appealing to the japanese



Just remember..Doesn't appeal to Japanese.






The 1st one had terrible image which has stuck with it, reliability, perception that there are "no games", ive heard that its name translated in japanese is literally "no-box", horrible advertising. Do do do ftl.

Incorrect, the 360 has more Japanese style games than the PS3. The problem the 360 has is that it has no brand equity and hardware reliability issues.

 I agree.



well the japanese developers should get their act together and stop developing 360 games...



Sony and Nintendo are both Japan based and Microsoft is from America.
Also they don't make that many japanese games for 360.

 Why would they do that? They get guaranteed money from MS and the PS3 is doing awful in Japan as well.

 Um no offense , but how does where your company started confirm what region(s) you target? That's like saying NA EU aren't going to buy the ps3/wii because they come from japan and won't have western targetted games. By what I've seen too the 360 has more japanese targetted games than both sony and nintendo.
