I'm not sure Japan is a very relevant console market, anymore, due to the very low sales compared to EU and Americas. No company could possibly survive launching a console product to that market, alone, but EU and Americas could probably support a product independently, depending on development cost, etc.

In other words, it's not doing as well as the other consoles in Japan, but that's kind of like saying "are Disney movies dead in Tibet?" Does it matter?

Keep digging that hole.  I'm sorry Lord, it's just too fun to pester with the ignoramous.

Ok lets see the arguments here.  Aion said it will have a big boost.  You say it won't move any hardware.  Lord disagreed with you and met somewhere in the middle saying it COULD move hardware, but wasn't supporting Aion saying it would move a lot of hardware.

By replying to you, he does not automatically make himself in agreement with Aion.  In fact if you'd spent more time reading his posts and thinking things through you'd have realized this very simple thing.  Now please quit failing so hard and save whatever credibility you still have.

Nightsurge - You're logic is completely flawed here. That is no where near the same situation.

That is exactly the situation and he explained better than I could have hoped for.

It's no where near the situation. Because I said to Aion it won't have as big of an effect he makes it seem and you say I'm wrong...

JED
You said
"Aion - You serious... you think Magna Carta will do something... I mean... you really think people who havent bought a 360 in japan yet who want to play magna carta already skipped the low price and ToV and SO4..."

Sounds like you're completely dismissing MC as having any effect at all.

I challenged that by saying it could

"JED3 thats like saying GT5 wont sell lots of PS3's because most who want it already have GT5P or a PS3.

Given how many the 360 has sold compared to what the market is it has the most room to grow out of all the consoles so yes. People who are interested in MC2 could very likely not have a 360 and missed those other games.

They might not be interested in TOV or SO4 and this might be what perks their interest in the console."

but not saying by how much.

To be honest I had skimmed Aions comment and was responding purely to you. I never said you was wrong but that it's possible for MC to have an impact and gave reasons why it's possible.

Now that sounds like you saying there's no way MC will increase 360 sales.

I think we need to define what an increase or big boost is. Because I have a feeling thats where things are getting crossed. And yeah, I said that to him for clarifacation and he didn't respond. instead you did.

The way I inturpreted Aions post was after MC2 releases 360 sales will have a steady increase weekly... because after all this is about 360 weekly sales in Japan. Also, "Big boost" to me would be something like MGS4, Yakuza 3, Biohazard...

I think a good boost would be if the 360 outsells the PS3 for a week providing it lost the week before.

If the PS3 is having a big boost of its own due to an exclusive or bundle or whatever then the 360 sells over 5k more than it did the week before.
