Survey Sees Tough Times for 360 in Japan

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday July 13, 2005 @03:06AM from the who-would-have-thought? dept.

GamesIndustry.biz is reporting that a survey recently conducted by Japanese news agency C-News would tend to suggest that the Xbox 360 will encounter consumer resistance when it is launched in Japan. From the article: "The poor showing for the Revolution is perhaps understandable, given that Nintendo has released only sketchy outline details regarding the console so far - but the figure for the Xbox 360 will come as a disappointment to Microsoft, which has focused heavily on the Japanese market in recent months." GameDailyBiz has a look at the survey as well, concentrating on the PS3's popularity.

No tell me it ain't so! I really expected the Xbox 360 to do so well in the Asian markets!

Oh crap I forgot to open my tag.
