Why is it that people buy all the retarded consoles there? All the good ones (PS3, 360, PSP) seem to be left in the dust. Wii is *****, I'm sorry.

congratulations microsoft in reaching 1 percent of the japanese gaming market.
you must have spent billions just to reach it.
when halo 3 comes out, ms will be able to achieve 1.5 percent of japanese gaming market then after a month or two it will drop again to a regular 0.1 to 0.3 percent.

he's on his period.
MS really doesn't have a chance in Japan, not with Nintendo having a 3/4 market share with crappy children's toy consoles. The DS has half the market with Pokemon and Mario games? Even Elder Scrolls 4 did badly and it's a great RPG, much better than Blue Dragon.

Really thats funny, cause if i recall correctly there more advance than the U.S, and make better systems that sell unlike MS.
So yeah Japan buys great systems that doesn't have failure rates over 33%.
You know what a japanese Person said about rhe 360 it was this "360 dead as saturn dead" Or was that sucks. Anyway thats why its doing horribly.
@ bob
Um have you ever thought Japn likes certain games like oh lets say RPG's. So maybe it has nothing to do with bad games as your implying.
@ AoxomamoxoA
Well at least his jokes are cool. hey Quix whats good buddy.

Actually that is really good for Nintendo, they deserve it after having such a *****ty go at the gamecube. I was actually surprised to see them come out with a Wii I thought for sure they would go the way SEGA did, but I guess this will keep them afloat untill they come up with another *****ty console, which shouldnt take to long considering that the Wii has OLD technology in it. but then again thats the only reason they're selling so well because they're old cheap tech. so I guess we'll see another outdated nintendo console in the next year or two. THEN, they'll go the way of SEGA! lol

I dun wanna sound too fanboyish (My fav console currently is the PSP btw) but the Wii doesn't have any old technology. They are new, its just that the technology (like the video card) are clocked at such a low speed that they run about as well as last gen consoles, but still better of course.
its sorta like the integrated vid cards made by nvidia. when release the technology was "new", but the dam thing was so slow for gaming that it was just ignored/ forgotten.

"Perhaps Halo 3's lack of pull in Japan tells more of its lack of inclination for the console rather than the game."
no, japanese people just hate shooters, it's not hard to understand!!! I don't like them either and I'm playing wild arms 5 and persona 3 right now (not at the same time, lol) on the PS2, not on any "new" console...
Japanese are the same, they'll wait till ps2 is more dead before paying that much money for games that are not even as good as what the ps2 can get.
Anyway, halo sucks, the 1st one was okay, and fun with friends, but errr, it's nothing compared to a game like star ocean or final fantasy or dragon quest or etc etc... JRPG rules! :D

Yes, I own GTA:LCS for my psp, it's a fun game. But I also own (and play much more) Katamari Damacy.

» meh. no surprise
not surprised about the 1% percent since, xbox mainly houses to "violent - shoot everyone till the end of the game" which a normal japanese (what am i saying?) would find boring or better yet stupid as to which the game has no storyline nor any plot whatsoever.
hell, if they did there research here in the NA. they would find the XBOX 360 to be at least in the 4-10% ranged just because of the news leak on how 360 has that unsolvable problem that forced them to put the guarantee up to 3 years.

» Quality of games matter, not where they come from
There are good and bad Japanese RPGs. I'm surprised about Oblivion (non-Japanese) not selling well in Japan when infact even certain known critics give it a high rating. There is one Space RPG for the Xbox 360 that should encourage sales in Japan (I could be one). Ya have heard of Mass Effect right (being done by the known Bioware, also non-Japanese)?
I've seen some of the trailers and shows some nice features that takes RPGs to the next level. Spent my two cents.
