Xbox 360 already dead in Japan, no Xbox 720?

[Power666]

I do believe that the Xbox 360 has done better in Japan than the original Xbox. However, things like the RRoD have likely tarnished the brand over there.

if Tales of Vesperia and Star Ocean 4 are 360 exclusive (not timed exclusive), 360 will do better than now. well.. I guess ToV is timed exclusive, though.

How many of those units do you think were sold to US soldiers stationed in japan? my guess is ALOT

[webshark]

do we really have that many soldiers stationed in japan?

i know we have a ton in S Korea, but i didnt think Japan was exactly on the top of our "we need troops stationed here" list....

[rrrobinson1236]

lol, japan is a very proud country. if you look in their eyes, they probably see the 360 as American crap, like the Ford motor company or McDonald's burgers. I think if they had the choice, they would clearly choose something from a company based in japan.

Seeing as the 360's top-sellers are games that the Japanese like (rather than all fps's), I don't think the soldiers argument would hold up in court.

True but our soldiers stationed there, the few thousand or so, definitely helped the sales of Gears of War and Halo 3.

I'm sure, but dz06lt made it seem like soldiers were responsible for a huge % of 360 sales, which just doesn't make sense.
