i iove this game

LOL... 360 only has 1 game in top 100.. how sad is that microsoft fan boys?

well im metal gear fan so im gonna collect this one...wooohoooo emerald rules u stink i wiiiin

no way will wii beat ps3, say goodbye to 360

nintendo sucks. all they have is the ds.

Yeah A 3 Way Combo form Wii into PS3 and X360 PROCESSORS!!!!

FIGHT FOR OUR HONOR WII!!!!!

3 way? i dont think so.....

Come on MS! FIgure something out! Saying we'll try and then failing and then giving up does not get you anywhere! 1% of the market share isn't going to get you anywhere!

P.S. Nintendo rules!

DS & DS lIte are killing the PSP. Always knew Nintendo had the edge in the handheld market & this proves it. Price, affordability & games are all in Nintendo's favour.

psp is pretty dead, isnt it? even in Japan, it seems. DS dominating again, eh... those guys n girls have good taste.

I love the fact that I did not buy the 360 I knew that it wouldn't have games and have glitches till the ps3. What I didn't expect was the ds to grab the girls in the batch but they did and that helped with the sales alot cross gender you know

ps3 ftw!!!!!!!!!!

The 360 will not be denied. Resistance is futile. They are only 1% now which means they only have one way to go...and it's up. DS wasn't so hot when it came out either, look at it now.

Another victory for Nintendo!

kool

360=crap Wii=okay and ps3= Omfg Must Have!

ds rules the charts makes me happy.. the japanese gamers have good taste

i can feel why 360 is doing so bad. really theres just not to many games to please the masses. even over here in the states. I have one...and i really regreat getting it so soon. its really just sitting there with me going on live for halo 2 and geometry wars. fun stuff. but i can play halo 2 on my x-box and geometry wars doesnt make me smile i droped 400$ for the system.

if gears of war and lost planet or halo 3 dont deliver, well Ill probly sell my x-box360 to my friend or somthing.

k

no one like 360 in japan they only like nintendo and playstation.

Nintendo Rulezz, the japaneese know what they want!

360 will male a comeback!!

I'm doing some research on Xbox360 into the Japanese Market, and some comments are very useful here... Thx alot guyz!!!

I'm trying to do some research on Xbox-360 into the Japanese Market, and some of these comments are very useful... Thx alot guyz!

Anyway, I think those Japanese gamers have way better tastes than my fellow Romanians. And puzzle games aren't rubbish.

jappenesse gamers have way way diffrent tastes then american gamers they seem to take more of a stand towards RGPS and puzzle games.

It's rare to see a good FPS in Japan.

Plainly put the Xbox to them to the key market in gaming is worth about as much as a pile of poop.

This is why microsoft looses so much money on this. They fail to adapt to cater to Japan's tastes. Nintendo in the meantime and to a lesser extent Sony have decided to try and cover the whole market with all games types rather then focus on a few for it's exclussive titles.

that's the BIG diffrence between microsoft and the other gaming giants here.

Microsofts exclussive titles are always the same things, shooters, sports and gore.

sony has lots of exclussive RPGs and adventure games. While still having those few gory action titles like god of war and devil may cry.

Nintendo is well...nintendo they have mario, zelda, metroid. Everything. Problem last generation was a lack of 3rd party support.

Microsofts got to learn to adjust it's strategy if it wants in the game industry longterm.

3 way? in japan theres only going to be 2 consoles competing Wii and Ps3 and right now they both seem like they have a even chance at being #1 360 is going to be left in the dust...and ignored like it doesnt even exist...

no big surprises there.

PSP got pwned lol

faridmon, 2.2 million game sold is very good. Just in Japan, not even release around the world..

FIFA 2006 sold 3.73 unit in the year of World Cup . Over two million is good number by any mean.

Only 3 PS2 game in the past two years made it over 6 million mark
Gran Turismo 4
GTA San Andreas
GTA Vice City

and Xbox Halo series are not even close to GTA series

piracy. reason for many things.

Final Fantasy just sold 2.3 since launch of the game? is it me or is it really sold poor, usually FF games sells like 5 million in the first month.

im immpressed that the ds got more money than psp's did

Remember when people were saying the DS would fail?

"What? Two screens? Lame..."
"DS must stand for *******."
"Yep, that's it, Nintendo has lost it."

I love it when haters get proven wrong.

The game industry is STILL getting bigger in Japan. No surprise that Nintendo is skyrocketing and Sony is falling. And that Microsoft is pretty much none existent. I guess Japan will never catch onto Xbox.

64,000 360s at least some are selling over there, and GO Nintendo.

I know this has been said before, but to suggest that the Japanese are avoiding the XBOX 360 for patriotic reasons really is ridiculous. Do you really think young people in Japan even take something like that into consideration? Its the games, plain and simple. I'm an XBOX 360 owner living in Japan, and although I'm not Japanese, my taste in games is quite Japanese, and right now there just aren't many appealing games out. And the total library is still so small. Add that to the fact that now Street Fighter Turbo on XBOX Live won't be offerered in Japan. Its like a nail in the coffin. Its hard to imagine that Microsoft is truly serious about the Japanese market, considering their actions.

I think we all want to know Bloodoflamb. She is really odd and totally hasn't been paying attention in the last year!

juliaryder, you are surprised the DS is better than the PSP? You are phsyco! Where have you been?

I agree with you homegirl. I really doubt that the 360 is going to do any better than it is currently doing.

Japanese consumers probably will never buy into a game console by Microsoft or any American developer but I'm positive that a majority of the Japanese use Windows, so, in a way, they actually do support Microsoft.

I so totally agree with you Guendolin!
I hope one day no one will buy anything MS and MS will be destroyed!!

I like how it is going for Nintendo now! =-) Just as long as they can possibly do this for another year... They will be pretty much be in top spot... by LOTS!

Alright guys, please refrain from either making commentary about Japan's culture based on this in a negative fashion, or using racial slurs. Thanks.

Come on Japanese the 360 isnt a bad console I love mine!!!

The 360 will catch on in Japan since it will be the winner in market share, globally. As one analyst put it, Sony must change or lose. If the price doesn't drop for the PS3, it will lose. The Wii is no different than the Gamecube in terms of marketing and developer support. The Wii is not "cool" in the west. This is critical for any console's success. The Wii has a bad name and uses old technology. In Japan, the Wii will be more attractive, but it won't have the types of games found on the PS2. The 360 will be the only alternative for Japanese developers. So, the 360 will have Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, etc. SquareEnix needs to eat, too.

Im impressed with Nintendo
In the east it is Sony Vs Nintendo, more than likely always will be
In the west is Sony Vs Microsoft, and i have a feeling the Wii will get Nintendo back big in the west

wow the 360 did that good i thought they sold alot less but still it is nowhere close to what they need to sell a billion like they sed at e3 2005

Wow, these comments are starting to devolve and look like the trash found in the System Wars forum. In fact I think I will head there right now and stir the pot. Later.
