Tokyo's Swanky New 360 Lounge Open

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday November 1, 2005 @12:43PM from the martini-please? dept.

For some end of the day eye candy, eToyChest has a photo spread of the new 360 lounge in Tokyo. From the article: "This setup reeks of the kind of spread Microsoft had going on in their back-room party at the Shrine at E3, only with more game playing and less milling around wondering what was going on. The lounge has numerous Xbox 360 kiosks, two sofa areas set aside with 42-inch HD televisions for players to test drive titles such as Ridge Racer 6 and Ninty-Nine Nights, and one gigantic 200-inch big screen TV where players can weep knowing that they will never be able to have this kind of setup in their own home."

Very nice but, why not put that screen to good use and run some tournaments on it? That'd be a good way to attact people even if the games they'll demonstrate are just ported from the Xbox.

I seem to recall the same response a few years ago when I was critical of the Xbox and its success in Japan.

Give it a year or two. I bet dollars to doughnuts that for every xbox 360 game that gets released we see 40 or 50 for the PS3, plus all the PS2 and PSX games that are backwards compatible with it.
