Um no. The original Xbox was of higher quality technology wise than the PS2, but the Japanese scoffed at it. The Japanese can and will refuse outsider technology unless they haven't made it themselves. It has to be either novel or better than what they have to even get at least a positive blink in its direction. Nationalism is huge in that country.

Look at March 2010 and you'll see that PS3 is getting like 7 RPGs in that month alone XD.

360 did get nice little boosts in Japan when new JRPGs released, but those days are over.


Microsoft forced a good million japanese people to be open minded to an outsider videogame console. That is huge and shows how closed minded the culture is to rivaling countries goods. Quality has nothing to do with it. Microsoft was beating Sony at their own game and still couldn't outsell them because the Japanese knew the nationalism > games. Japanese devs know about the huge nationalistic pride their people have, market their games to the Japanese and the rest of the world gets the left overs. This is why Sony has so much power over Japanese devs. If Microsoft actually were to break Japan this war between Sony and Microsoft would've been over.

Obviously the Japanese have brand loyalty. For example Dreamcast and Saturn sold much better than the 360.

US consumers do as well. But not quite to the same extent as the Japanese.

sega consoles were better quality.


Yeah, I'm sure the Dreamcast had DVD-9 and played HD games. Why cant you just say that Sega put the console together properly? In terms of parts there is no way Sega had a better quality console. They put the console together properly so it wouldn't malfunction which is why my Dreamcast still lives today. Coming to think of it the Dreamcast was put together better than the PS3 as well.

When it comes to the fail rate I agree. But when it comes to software quality, god no.

Metacritic disagrees with you.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

The whole world did not scoff at the Xbox. It was only Japan. This is why Microsoft has an obsession with breaking their market.
