Japanese Xbox 360 promo video

sooo....

xbox360 turns your room into a dance party? who the hell is this directed towards?
 
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to post this and the pointing at it "nelson style" to begin :D
As far as I can tell, this is not a video that will be displayed in public, just something first done internally at MS Japan and then available in the Xbox.jp site. I agree that the lack of JP games in the video is disturbing to say the least, but then I don't think it's the main point there. What the point is, I don't know :p
The "image" video from the US was quite... interesting too. I wish I had it somewhere to put online.
Edit: According to a friend in Japan, this was first shown at the Xbox Summit a few weeks ago.
 
'ladies and gentlemen, the dreamcast 360 has arrived.'

or

'watch closely, this is how we plan to fleese the people of japan.'
 
Phew! That was horrible.

Thank God for Xbots it's just a promo vid... I wonder if the commercials will be this bad.
 
... am the only one--

But when I go to play Xbox Live I don't start dancing around or start moving around on my couch like a bumbling idiot.

Why they hell does everyone keep associating playing video games to "dancing" around in a multicultured environment :lol

a bunch of girls came over to my apartment, switched on xbmc and danced away for 30 mins.

so the x360 is targetted at japanese girls.

sho nuff can attest to this, he saw it happen!
 
I can't see this from work, but if it doesn't have a guy in short shorts singing

pizaz pizaz come on we're gonna give it to ya

pizaz pizaz come oooooon

It's no good.
 
The guy has a ticket to a party with the Xbox 360 spirals on it. He enters the party and everyone is having a great time with the games and multimedia functions. It's Japanese oriented of course, but I didn't think it was as terrible as you guys are making it out to be :p

I think MS should move in this direction for their pre-launch TV commercials. Picture this:

a multi-story cyndrilical room (360!) with floors and floors of pre-rendered game characters that no one recognizes, then have the camera pan down to the generic white console in the middle of the center of the floor and whisper, "it's THINKING," just to freak the hell out of any casual gamers still paying attention.

Yeah, I don't think we can really pick on them too much. We should all know by now that videogame commercials being horrible (especially Nintendo's commercials) are par for the course.

Still... Dreamcast 360.
 
The people this would appeal to are not me.
