Japanese like 360 more than Revolution?
When: September
What: Survey
Findings: Bizarre
At the Tokyo Game Show a few months ago Microsoft got to show off playable Xbox 360 games. That may have been part of the reason that of those surveyed at the show, 23% said they were “looking forward to picking up an Xbox 360″. What about the Revolution? Only 20.3% interest.
Hmmmm… I always thought the Japanese preferred Nintendo over Microsoft. The fact that the Xbox 360 was playable while the Revolution was just a twinkle in Nintendo’s eye may have had something to do with it. And it was just a survey and all. But still.
How did the PlayStation 3 (PS3) do? Seventy percent. That’s 70%.
Discuss here or in the new forums.
Not to take the discussion to the shotbox, but come on..? Nobody likes all games, its that simple. Some like the mother, other like the daughter 
Keep your "hate-articles" coming, Gary!

It’ll all depend on the games, and X-box games (sports, racing, etc) don’t tend to interest the Japanese. The current monthly sales in Japan of the X-box are dismal, less than what the original Gameboy Advance still sells (not the SP or DS or the other new one).
And let me tell you, the DS is *very* popular here. I see it everywhere.

This time around Microsoft is trying hard to make games that appeal more to the Japanese. We’ll see how well it works.
