A question Ive always wanted to know the answer to?

This question is mainly aimed to the lovely people of america.

Japan has spent countless years rejecting your products with no regard to whether it being they are good or not. ( look at the past 7 years of game sales. )

They only buy products which are made in their own country. Which effectively is a big 2 fingers to the american industry.

So could someone please tell me why some americans do the same and support japanese consoles more than those made in there own backyard?

I think your field of view is a little narrow

They buy things not from their own country, just because MS has done badly there doesn't mean they hate everything not from Japan...

i just buy what i like the best... who cares where it's from?

Dont get me wrong personally I think Nintendo are the best company in the industry. innovation and all that. But even when Microsoft at the time of posting this have alot more better games in a varied group of genres people still cuss and put Sony on a pedastool? It doesnt make sense to me. When Japan dont care at all. Surely you can see that?

Microsoft is trying and trying hard but sadly to no avail.

The Japanese consumer is radically different than the American one. They weigh quality over price. If a foreign product matches what Japan can make in terms of quality, then they'll buy it. Americans are all about saving a dollar so they often purchase utter crap.
