Wasnt the 360 released in Japan in Dec of 2005? It took over 3 years to reach that mark. I really dont think thats cause for a celebration. Does MS consider that a success in Japan?

Celebrate the 360's great library of games or something. Celebrating 333,000+ units a year in a country that is known for its gaming culture is just asking to be flamed.

PLEASE dont get me wrong, I love my 360 but seriously, this kind of thread is what causes fanboy behavior.

Your love scares me.....

Sure, since the Xbox didn't even sell 500k in the same time span.

 

 

Im sorry dude, I just dont see that being a success on any level. Its better sure, but still seems like they need to give it up in Japan. Maybe some more games that appeal to the Japanese gamers will help.  Maybe they will release FF13 in Japan.

Because they've sold double what they sold last gen.  And they secured development support from a lot of Japanese developers.

If we use your logic, then the PS3 is a HUGE failure in NA and Japan because its sold over 60% LESS than it did the previous gen.  But its not a huge failure because the world isn't that black and white.

 

See? this is what I am talking about.  I didnt mention PS3 or NA.  Xbox in Japan that is all. Fanboys twist and turn everything into a "this vs that" console war.  Is the PS3 a HUGE success in NA? NOPE.  But it has NOTHING to do with Xbox in Japan. Xbox is failing there thats all I meant to say. I wish it wasnt true, but it is. Because if it succeeds we will hopefully get more games. 

And since you HAD to mention the PS3, it aint exactly kickin any ass over there either.  And before you mention it again, YES I think the PS3 is failing in Japan.  Just an opinion, please dont twist it to suit your fanboyism.

 

It is a success. Why? The Japanese never by ANY outside products. Only McDonalds is considered a winnner over there.

You have to understand M$ have done tramendously well considering the Japanese would always choose Sony and Nintendo over M$ even if the Wii was like the 360 nad the 360 was like the Wii.

This is not by any means success, this is fail, 3 years to sell 1 million! I know the PS3 sells a million a year but the 360 is selling 1 million every 3 years that means hat by the time this gen ends, it will have sold max 2 million!

FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL!

I guess my opinion of a success is different than yours.

So, lets see, I stood up for the 360 and the PS3 in my post.  That would make me a fanboy of ... what exactly?

This forum thing works better when we talk WITH each other instead of AT each other.  Check the sig.

I will talk with you anytime, but this was an Xbox in Japan thread and you brought in the PS3 in NA stuff. In my haste I thought you were bringing it up just to argue and I still feel that way. But hey its cool.  No matter what anyone says, at this point in time the Xbox 360 is failing in Japan. Its just my opinion.  If it reaches 4 million in a couple years I might change my mind.  Until then, I will enjoy its success in this country. 

Also my apologies for implying you were a fanboy.  My definition of a fanboy is kinda off I guess lol.  I was trying to stay on topic. I just felt the PS3 in NA had no place in the thread.

Yes, it's all because of xenophobia. It wouldn't be because Microsoft's first entrance to the console market had absolutely no appeal to the Japanese outside of Dead or Alive 3, and that its first impression to the Japanese market was that of a westernized shooter box? Don't blame the market for not buying something, because that's just petty. And do some outside research before claiming that McDonalds is the only popular western thing in Japan.

The Xbox brand name in Japan was immediately stamped as unpopular and uncool, so even the 360, with its higher quality library and bigger selection of RPGs still doesn't hold much appeal. And it's not as simple as JRPG=WIN!!! in Japan anymore anyways.

It's a nice numerical achievement, but market wise, it's pretty insignificant.
