@S.T.A.G.E: You´re also very patriotic, so why are bothering Akvod? What he says is true more or less. As if there aren´t any japanese fast food chains, coffee shops and mp3 players... Kotaku.com had recently posted a survey on which gadget brand is considered more reliable, etc... And guess who won in each section? That´s right Apple, an american company. Beating even Nintendo. Also the U.S. is an exception in the world when it comes to cultural diversity, Japan isn´t the norm too since they´ve been an isolated country due to their history and geographical location, however they are still quite neare to the norm than what the U.S.A is.
Of course I'm patriotic. I love my country man. What he says isn't the complete truth, but he has points. We never spoke about Japanese fast food chains. We were talking about what the Japanese would accept even with their collectivist mentality. I'm sorry, but I've had more apple products break down than Nintendo, and whats worse is you tend to feel shitty about your purchase after about a year, because the next installment owns the product you currently have. I wasn't denying Japans isolated situation, becuase they aren't the most economically nationalistic country, I was just stating of the big 3 they were the most nationalistic. Japan sees business success as a company providing jobs to their people so they can buy products over actual profit. A company shouldn't strive for actual profit over its duty to consumers and workers alike. This is what caused the Japanese economic boom. I know all about it.
Well Europe is not a nation, just a social and economical community with laws, there´s no central government. Many european countries have quite an amount of nationalistic attitude, mainly due to the immigrants they let in the 60´s-70´s and the working, social and religious problems it brought afterwards. Other european country are still xenophobic and hate their neighbors.
This is not the argument. I know about nationalism (which Europe has alot of), but I was talking about economic nationalism.

asians better hardware, and cars, they last long and generally have a lower consumption than American counterparts and i am pretty sure japanese know that.
Americans can make better products than the Japanese, but they are too greedy and thats why alot of American car companies fell. Samsung > Sony.
Samsung is Korean, not american.
I know that. Look at Jo's post as to why I said Samsung > Sony.
japan it's bigger and overall better, japan have, toyota, mitsubishi, honda, nissan, subaru, nintendo,sony, hitachi, panasonic etc
korea have, samsung, LG, hyndai, daewu, pantech, kia, etc
europe have nokia , ericsson, phillips, BMW, Audio, Renault, etc etc

America has Microsoft, Apple, Vizio (largest LCD tv seller in America), Gateway, IBM, Dell, Alienware, Hummer, General Motors (and the many car companies they own), Ford, Motorola, Google and much, much more. Not to mention we are a service economy which houses entertainment, food and more which are also the kings of. If American wanted to be the best car sellers in the world we could've been. Our car industry was sabotaged as I've said before.
The greatest car ever to grace planet earth was created in America and destroyed by American oil companies. Full electric car, with 0 emissions, silent, sexy and can burn normal gas powered cars.
Full electric GM EV1 (American made) which can destroy any normal Japanese car in a race and is silent with grace and quality. Just imagine if they made a race car out of it.
You can jump all over American products, but if you knew our history, you would know our great potential.

Perhaps this is just an assumption because Asians are much smaller as people in USA and smaller people normally have smaller hands. It is a simple fact average height of Asians is less than average height of people in europe or USA. Average japanese male is 10 centimeters shorter than american male.

Yeah, it was destroyed by the oil companies, because it would put standard oil out of business, killing demand for gasoline. They bought the patent to it and the patent was passed around to other oil companies. The expensive nature of the car was used as a crutch by GM once the oil companies got their hands on them to have the car destroyed. They claimed there was no demand for a car that is good for the environment (doesn't emit CO2 into the atmosphere, thus doesn't contribute to global warming), only uses electricity, goes over 100 MPH on one charge, and is silent instead of causing noise pollution like gas powered cars. After the oil companies realized the positive impact of this car and how they couldn't profit off of it, they got GM to destroy it and take the cars from all the owners who were willing to in unison pay a million dollars just to keep it. Not many people had it because it was being used in california as a test car to stop the pollution in certain areas. The job was done and it worked and yet the scrapped it.
The question isn't why don't the Japanese buy the 360 it's why do Americans buy the 360? For the same reason Americans bought so many Hummer SUV's a while back.
Americans will just buy whatever's cool for the moment and will often buy things that they regret buying later.

His question was the correct question. Your question was only used to insult Americans. The Japanese have been asked plenty of times and people have even written papers about how the Japanese have economic nationalism. People buy videogame systems primarily for games....so you're saying that the 360 is essentially worthless and that Americans are fools to buying something that isn't Japanese.

So what? lets say and average american high is 5ft10? not saying thats for deffinate, just seems pretty average to me and japanese 5ft5 ? there not fucking midgets!! , o look at me my hands are soo small i cant hold an xbox controller, thats why xbox sales aren't very good in japan, i think hearing 10 year old kids on xbox live scraps "small hands" being the reason to not buy a console
