leo-j, I am pretty sure they have XBOX LIVE in Japan. If not then how do they get demos?

It launched there on Nov. 2nd, 2006 I believe.

I thought they didnt have online play, or video downloads in japan?

I think they might not have video downloads in Japan. BTW Sony is launching PSN Video this week in Japan I think.

LOL!

Should take a look at weekly sales.

*Takes a look*

SHIT the 360 outsold the Wii!!! He's right!!

Not according to the Media create data for that week.


DS Lite	63,859
PSP	30,156
Wii	29,686
Xbox 360	28,188
PS3	8,053
PS2	7,669

I am wondering what their surprise is? I'm guessing they are going to show Star Ocean 4 and a game from From Software.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can't wait to find out what those are, MS has a crapload of money...............KH3 and DQX X360 exclusive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MS Games has a budget just like every other company. They can not spend and spend. They have to also turn a profit to justify their existence. KH3 and DQX will sell well on any system. There for Square can put those games on any platform, DS, PSP, Wii, PS3, and the Xbox 360 (but I doubt this. Sales are not strong in Japan and this is the reason why FFXIII is not being released in Japan).

If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba

Takashi Sensui, the general manager of Microsoft's Xbox division in Japan has stated that the core of the Xbox 360 business is made up of three elements: great titles, best online sevice and accessible hardware. Now all these three elements are in place, they believe that the Japanese consumers will agree that the Xbox 360 is the best option available.

"Takashi Sensui Named General Manager of Microsoft’s Xbox Division ...

“The core of the Xbox 360 business is made up of three elements: great titles, the best online service and accessible hardware. Now we have all three elements firmly in place, we believe that Japanese consumers will see what we have to offer and agree that it is the best option available.”

What’s clear is that while the Xbox 360 may never ‘win’ in Japan Microsoft certainly hasn’t given up the fight. Don’t be surprised to hear some big-name announcements from the platform holder centered on the Japanese market at next month’s Tokyo Game Show."

Via Edge-Online

Sorry if posted already.

How would I go about putting quotes in a quotation box? What is the required code?

This is his prediction of the future. I agree the business model looks great but because we are dealing with Japan, people just say the 360 will never take off when it has every chance to do so.

True but MS budget is big as hell, they can buy more exclusives, timed exclusives and/or get simultaneous MP releases. It will not surprise me if it's one of those 2, maybe even Monster Hunter 3 and MGS 4 on the 360.
