If you are going to market a product, isn't it important to see what different cultures prefer?  This is a sales site, so we should be able to see trends and discuss them. 

I guess I could say "FPS-oriented" games.

I didn't really read the OP except for the title and realized it's racist nature.  I lived about 50 miles from Nagasaki for a while and been to both Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  There really isn't that much grudge against USA.  On another note, Starbucks was awesome in Japan.

Yes, I think calling them FPSes does a lot to alleviate the problem, thank you. At the very least the analogy is now reductive on both sides.

OH YEah i loved that commercial.

Japanese only buy Sony or Nintendo because its helps their economy to buy products made in Japan. When we buy products from Japan, they gain money while we lose money.

Brand Loyalty. On that subject, if Sega was still in the console business, I would buy Sega over anything else.

Ohh, and isn't calling them 'japs' is kind of rude?

There are plenty of American gamers that would only play US made games on PC from the 8-bit on up to the 6th gen. And that have only bought the xbox because its the first American game system since the 2600 days. So, there are US gamers that are just as biased against Japanese systems imo.

It's just that games like Gears (with its tons of violence and American footballer type protagonists) and Halo don't mesh well with with the more delicate artistic sensibilities of the Japanese.

If an American studio was to create a game that was considered to be a good game by the majority of pundits in the industry and if it had female protagonists that looked like these:

it would do much better in Japan than Halo and Gears.

I have to agree, this is a very offensive post.

But anyways, the Japanese are much more concerned about product reliability than the U.S. and Europe(I wish the entire world felt this way). The RROD is pretty much unacceptable to Japanese standards.

The 360 actually has games that the Japanese like, 2 games from Mistwalker and 3 from Square and still, sales are pretty weak.

cause they only care about Xbox 360 for their Jrpgs and the only succesful JRPG for it in japan was Star Ocean 4 , not even ToV was that succesful

I'm not racist since when is saying japs racist, i far as i know japs is a shorten word for japanese

u know what pisses me off all the fucken over sensitive people these days, u cant say this or that, its not a black board it afro-american board lighten the fuck up

That particular word being used for the Japanese carries racial connotations that are sixty to seventy years old.

That's not the big part of it, though. Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Really? Even as a joke that's so tasteless it's mind-numbing.
