Support NeoGAF

[Alski]

Famitsu says so and I hope so, the more competition the better, however only time will tell.

We need a sticky thread titled "Xbox360 has no chance in Japan, stop posting the fake famitsu poll!"

 

[jenov4]

Heh, doesn't matter, can they get any less popular in Japan? What's the Xbox market share there anyways? Like 4% or something?

 

[Datawhore]

Alski should be punished for his insolence. There hasn't been a good GAF lynching in a while.

Bish - ban this fool!

6% vs. 22%... well I guess you have to celebrate something...

 

[Gantz]

it will be popular this year no doubt. The Japanese will buy anything new that comes out.

Haha. No.

Well PS3 isn't coming out till spring. So they'll blow their money on Xbox360 just to say they have one. Do you think they give a shit about game support? When the PS2 came out most Japanese bought it for the DVD playback. :lol

They apparently were concerned about support when they didn't buy the Xbox... the 360 will do better we just don't know how much better yet....

So it had nothing to do with how good the PS2's upcoming lineup looked?

Actually I think he's right about the DVD playback. PS2 helped push the DVD adoption rate to the sky over in Japan. I recall reading some article that most people bought them there for the DVD as players weren't too popular yet.

I''m not saying that the DVD playback didn't help, but to think that how good the PS2's upcoming lineup looked didn't have a role in it either doesn't make sense.

It's close to 4 times the last amount. Any gain is a good thing most definitely. I hope MS succeeds in Japan. It can only benefit us gamers over here.

But I'm still waiting on my Xbox 360 purchase. Must....stay.....strong. Must....not....watch....Ghost Recon video...for.....ten....millionth.....time.

Of course, the number is fake, but still a spectacular fake improvement!!

Works for me...

Chromehounds
Ridge Racer 6
Ninety Nine Nights
Enchant Arm

None of these games interest me at all, but apparently they may appeal to the Japanese gamer.
