Out Of The XBox

theodp writes 'Bill G.'s snagged the cover of this week's Time, which asks the question: Is Microsoft about to do in the living room with the Xbox 360 what it did in the office with Windows? Turn to page 13 in your Book of Xenon, please: 'As the world's software leader, Microsoft is among the best suited to enable and capitalize this transformation. This is our opportunity to lose.' If PlayStation 3 folks are scared, they're not showing it. 'We look at delivering a quantum leap in technology, not just Xbox version 1.5,' quips a Sony spokeswoman.' The story also reveals that the previously discussed rumor about Halo 3 parrying the PS3 launch is accurate.

Why is Japanese support thought to be so critical for consoles? Just because they have controlled the marketplace since the mid-80s doesn't mean that there's some magical juice that makes Japanese games or hardware better than American ones. If anything, we should be supporting Microsoft for taking back the industry from overseas instead of declaring that they will fail because they don't have Japanese developer support.
