“Xbox 360 Finished in Japan”

Lots of QQ in here

fanboys fanboys fanboys... calm your self's down abit. it's nie on impossable to determin which is the better console at this point in time. it's all just personal opinions but the ps3 deffinatly has the better exclusives in a technical sense and is most certainly possible of creating greater physics and atmosphere in a game. this is totaly personal prefference but the ps3's xmb feels alot more grown up than the xbox's dashboard, and is alot easier to use in a multi media sense and microsoft seem to scream GIVE US YOUR MONEY.

i personaly want sony to win this gen over microsft because they entered the console market to make great games first and for most but microsoft entered the console market to make money first and for most.

i'll say one more thing, i do like some of the 360 exclusive games but i hate micrsoft's buisness strategies and the cheap as hell feel to the 360. the microsoft fat cats should go to hell. they are in this buisness for the wrong reason's. MONEY MONEY MONEY.

Why is this website so anti xbox 360? thats one thing i dont like about this site. get over it, xbox is has more consoles sold, has more games per console sold, and every knows that ps3 is constantly copying xbox 360s features. i own both consoles.

I don't know why but I just can't play FPS on the Dual Shock. Is there any 3rd party ps3 controller shaped like the 360s? if there is I would just get rid of my 360 and finally buy more games for my ps3

Really, everyone know Japan is the exception. Xbox still sells best everywhere else.

PS3>lol360

You people and your gay fanboyism are all fags, buy both consoles and reap in the benefits of both.

PS3. yep, still don't fucking care...

OMG I HAVE ALL 3 CONSOLES SO YOU ALL CAN GO SUCK MY NUTS!!!!!!!

CONSOLE WAR

RAGE, RAGE, AND RAGE MOAR SO YOUR VOICES SHALL BE HEARD.

The only figure that does matter. Software sales

360 - 251,049,736
PS3 - 149,933,108

Long live Sony and Microsoft. I only hate the wii.

I have a 360 and the only thing that keeps me from getting rid of it is the huge amount of money i invested on it (games, controllers), i regret not buying a ps3

fuk xbox360 sales
fuk ps3 sales
fuk which is better
all i give a damn about are the fuking games
and fuking so4 and tales were supposed to be exlusives but they fuking betrayed the fans(not console fans) fuk it all to hell

So what do you guys think of project natal?

business as usual...

What's funny about this is that the Japanese are just supporting their Japanese made system, and are shunning the US made system.

And what do we see on these forums? The americans shunning the american made system and supporting the Japanese made system.

Yay for patriotism!

And I own both systems, and prefer the 360 - by far. And no, I'm not an American :P

I think the remarkable thing here is that it lasted as long as it did, honestly. Remember what happened with the first XboX?

Luckily for Microsoft, Japan isn't exactly the vast majority of the video game marked.

Luckily for me, I get to enjoy both consoles.

lucky me too... there is no need to compare both of the consoles.... there are pros and cons to each of them =) It depends on how you view 'em

Hate to break it to everybody here, but do you really think Microsoft gives a shit whether or not their console bombs In Japan? Fuck no! They knew that their console was in deep trouble due to past experience with the original Xbox. As for the whole exclusivity deal, while it does suck that most of their exclusives are going out the window, I doubt Microsoft is losing sleep over it.

they should of made it a multiplatform in the first place..i just want the same content as the other version...thats never gonna happen tho so i guess i have to get a ps3

Personally, I couldn't care less how the neverending console war goes--I just want the PS3 to get some of those damn shmups the 360's been bogarting. What were they thinking, putting Otomedius Gorgeous on the 360?!

360 got owned by the ps2 lol

Fools...I say let them download Visual Novels and maybe even some Eroge on their Market...

That will be their saving grace in this world full of
perverts...

There are only a handful of reasonable rational xbox 360-only users in the world. The rest of them are ignorant blind fantards wearing their 360-4-live fanboy goggles.

These ignorant fantards do very much the same things:

- they somehow believe that with the 3yr warranty, that it's completely impossible for people to purchase a second or third 360.
- that a very very small minority actually purchase the $199 sku
- that the cheapest PS3 was $200 more than the cheapest 360
- think Japan doesn't matter
- think US sales encapsulate the world
- think the 360 is beating the PS3 in sales in Europe when it's only beating the PS3 in the UK
- forget the 360 had a year headstart in the US and an 18 month headstart in Europe

I sold my xbox 360 for a ps3 slim today xD!!!

Fuck japan

I lived there for 2 years, its a fucking racist country.

I couldn't even pay for a blowjob in japan because I'm labelled as a dirty disease carrying gaijin.

Fuck the japanese market, MS just pull out, the japs aren't worth it

Fuck those slit eyed jap cunts. Pull out of Japan if they don't want the 360 then bollox to them.

japan is all ds, psp and wii

its not like ps3 is doing well there either

ff13 will give it a boost but without that it would still be doing shit

Honestly who cares if those rpgs are being ported to ps3? i already played it a long time ago, and honestly im not interested in add ons like ninja gaiden sigma 2 boobs, or a annoying pirate girl in TOV, or play SO4 in japanese language, because that dont change the fact that the game story is bad. 360 strike first and im begin happy that i can laugh on my friends faces because they cant play good Rpgs that are STILL ONLY on my XBOX 360.

Honestly MS have done their job and its make me happier. and that WHAT REALLY MATTER, so honestly go and play a lot of TOV and SO4, i will wait for the next batch of Rpgs and not be playing old stuff.

360 forever!

ITT: People that can't afford multiple consoles, are butt hurt because of it, and insult the games they are unable to play. Also pretend the RROD is a big deal. I bought one 360, one Wii, one PS3, and 3 PS2s.

the 360 and PS3 are both great in their own way but if you like games and like games to look good and play well use the 360, anyone who can get access to both should look at games that are avalible on both machines. I dont care what machine is ore powerful and makes the least noise Im only intrested in which gives me a petter playing experience. The only thing that drives me mad is why the Fu*k microsoft can even sell a machine as unreliable as the 360!! Its a crime.

Incredible! I have already been seeking bing for hours for this and i ultimately thought it was here!

Nevermind the fact that the DS version(s) of Blue Dragon are next to nothing compared to the original (sucky, as all JRPGs) game, and that Biohazard 5 is superior on the 360.

And actual, real gamers are still bound to buying the 360 in order to play actual, real games (not that those are very popular, mind you): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG0pyFWlqxw&fmt=22 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG0pyFWlqxw&fmt=22]

360s don't sell in Japan!? didn't see that coming. >_>

PS3 FTW.

It's game over for the 360, they offer nothing in comparison to the PS3 except outdated games now.

lets not forget about the final fantasy xiii bundle, final fantasy xiii's Japanese exclusivity, the rumored new ace combat game that's probably mulitplatform, if not ps3 exclusive, the upcoming sequel to beautiful katamari damacy, that is ps3 exclusive, while beautiful katamari damacy was considered to be the worst and most uninspiring game in the franchise, the head of team ninja, behind dead or alive 4, has left techmo, and square-enix, the company behind infinite undiscovery and lost odyssey, has stated that the 360 is dead in Japan.

i own an xbox360 and i must say it lags for some games

NA NA NA
NA NA NA
HEY HEY HEY
GOODBYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just die already 360. We won't miss you.

for most parts.

Screw Japanese console gamers.

Ace Combat 6 115,899?

WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU JAPAN?

But Ps3 versions looks not as good as xbox

This doesn't surprise me at all. Japanese corporate national loyalty is infamous the world over because it's IMPOSSIBLE for foreign companies to break real ground in Japanese markets. This is no exception. Japanese big-name producers were just taking handouts from Microsoft and using the platform as a next-gen playtest machine. *shrug*

Arguing over console superiority is a waste of time. All I care about is whether or not the games are fun, and EVERY SYSTEM HAS SOME FUN GAMES, so they're all cool in my book. Right now, as long as I get my Mass Effect 2, I'm good.

Eh, if I were Microsoft at this point I'd just say "fuck it! let the japos play they're shitty jrpg shoveware."

Oh no, they've lost in the 3rd largest gaming market. They 're still doing pretty well in the 1st and 2nd though.

I think people are forgetting the amount of DLC hikikomori had to buy to get IM@S up to scratch. Thats $$$ for M$.

Don't really care who "wins", but I want both to stay healthy enough. Competition is good.

another troll post and followed by lots of troll comment. its just a business strategy. companies exist to make money not to please fanboys.
the battle between betabox360 and leftoverstation3, who will win?

I was thinking Forza Motorsports is popular in Japan. Especially since Gran Turismo 5 is taking a long time for PS3. I mean, Forza 3 is already coming out soon and PS3 only has GT5 Prologue still.

lets not forget x-edge, record of agarest war, way of the samurai 3 etc lol
anything that is against sony fanboys would treat it as not happened before.

Lymle is cute <3

*Grab her and run away from this console war battlefield*

YOU RRoD 360 FAGS SURE GOT TOLD.

But if Microsoft stops with the subsidies. Wouldn't both side hurt? Since developers use the money to make their games then port it to the PS3. Without the money, there won't be more ports/betrayals/Ex-Bawks360-PeeAss3 dorama.

lol @ non-attributed quote leading article as though someone important actually said it.

My first thought was "I wonder who said that? Famitsu? Kotaku? XBM? Maybe this will be interesting..."

Did some relevant gaming news site/magazine/celebrity actually say "Xbox 360 Finished in Japan"? Or is this just Artefact peddling his shares in Sony again?

If it's the latter, the article would be fine without the faux-quotation and would only be half as misleading~
