I'll take Freaky Flyers for now!I'm seriously stunned by this one. Freaky Flyers came out of nowhere, and it's good! The levels are beautiful, there's a shitload of stuff to unlock, and the flying feels right. My only complaints would be that there's a little bit of a fish-eye effect that gets annoying if you focus on it, and some of the video crosses the line between "funny" and it's bastard child: "wacky." (Given the amount of video bonuses the game includes, that had to happen though. These are game people, not stand-up comics.)
November's a hell of a long wait, but the surprise game with the Gayest Name Ever will hold until then.

Re:MS Leaving Japan...
though i'm not an xbox hater as such, i do find it somewhat amusing that yes, the wonderswan and gameboy pocket often (not always) trump the xbox in japan. for those not in tune with the sales, here's the latest figures. interestingly, with nintendo's recent gcn/gbp deal, cube sales are doing really well. hopefully it will continue...
as for the xbox-only titles, yeah, there isn't a hell of a lot of variation there for the average japanese player. especially not much in the way of rpg's (the key to the hearts of the japanese market). nor the average american player, for that matter (as i consider myself). i'm not too plussed with the majority (there are a few titles that are very tempting) of exclusive xbox stuff. when my girlfriend (ms has pretty much ignored female players altogether from what i've seen so far) starts looking at the xbox and is curious about playing some of its exclusive titles, maybe then i'll be closer to reach for the wallet... -

Re:Stupid question
considering the ps1 sells far more units (followed closely by the wonderswan color) than xbox in japan, i'd say it is a reasonable question to ask...

gee... interesting how that goes against
what others are saying. take for example this press release the gamestop stores just released saying their sales are UP systems in general and up for cubes. i wouldn't read too much into david becker and his crap. go through his history of articles, he's an xbox apologist...
