Japanese Retailers Phasing out the Xbox 360?

that's because the ps3 supports alot more of the japs games they so love and enjoy.
i for one miss playing those old sony titles like ratchet and clank and the original jak and dexter.

or perhaps the ps3 has more rpgs, which im sure is the biggest genre in japan ^.^, it's my favorite as well- And Im white :).

wanting to move there so badly, just for the difference in game styles.

im tired of FPS dominating the markets :P

and now im replying to my own comment, ha! this was a waste of typing^.^

but im doing it anyway!

Couldn't you spell out the word "Japanese" when referring to Japanese games?

Anyways, for the most part I agree with you. The 360 simply did not have enough games that would appeal to the Japanese market. I mean, look when Tales of Vesperia was exclusive for the 360 for a year. Sales of 360's jumped.

In retaliation, Microsoft has threatened to use enormous drills and strategic underground nuclear warheads to make more tsunamis. NOBODY CROSSES BILL GATES.

Well if no one else will say it then I will. This is due in part to the Nationalism of the Japanese people. Most non-Japanese products have a hard time breaking into the Japanese market. Not because they are defective, have undesirable features, or an unpleasant aesthetic appeal but because the Japanese consumers, in general, have a mindset of Japan first when purchasing. lowell1992supper and cyberjim2000 are both correct about the Japanese people’s taste in games being different. However this does not mean that Microsoft was trying to push FPS’s down the Japanese gamers’ throats. Microsoft probably (I do not know for sure, but am only speculating) ran into a cultural brick wall when dealing with Japanese game publishers, who are also Nationalistic in their choice of platform, thus benefiting the PS3.
