what the

japan isn't xenophobic. they're assimilating american culture at a faster rate than ever before. the failing of the 360 in that market has less to do with "it wasn't made by one of us" and more "it has very little that appeals to us."


I'm not really seeing this, the PS3 and the 360 have very similar libraries except most cross platform games run better on the 360. There's no real -reason- why the 360 should do that badly, except the RRoD reputation making people swear it off before they finally redesigned it maybe. But MS fixed RRoD's for free here so I'd assume it shouldn't have been a huge problem in other regions either. This wasn't like when the PS2 was having mass DRE's and Sony refused to fix it until forced by a class action lawsuit. Microsoft and Nintendo generally take the high road and avoid that kind of thing. Thankfully since the 360 and the Wii were the less reliable systems this generation.
