Why Does The Xbox 360 Never Do Well In Japan?

Prime, thanks a lot for that. Brought up things I never would have thought of and shot down everything I said that was wrong.

As for Piccolo, not that the N64 only had around 400 games, PS1 has 1000+. It did sell 24 million or so, so not a financial failure, there was just a difference. The Wii, while no longer the sales leader, is still the cheapest to develop for, has the largest install base, and the largest install base of potential buyers who don't know any better (by that I mean I've seen rightfully unsuspecting parents buying shovelware). And there are times where I can empathize with the aimlessness. With that I really am out because I've derailed this topic enough. Sorry guys.

Ah, OK, I understand now. Thanks.

I think Nintendo understands there are a lot of new kids completely new to videogames who aren't as demanding/retentive as "oldschool" gamers and are happier with more casual fare.

I'm sure 20 years from now those kids will be posting somewhere about "great classics" that we're probably looking down on right now.

This is related to Microsoft and Xbox 360, so could be semi-offtopic.

Since Google's New Privacy has changed a lot, for the worst, I decided to move to Bing! it's a Microsoft product, but with Microsoft I'm not really that worried, on Xbox LIVE everyone talks shit all the time and no one gets punished, only those who mod/hack their consoles get banned.

Plus, they welcome people to do mods for Kinect on PC, and haven't seen anyone get on trouble for using a non-legit Windows. It's not 100% safe but not as bad as Google is now (watching what their users are doing/searching for).

Bing's quite good and searching for "daizex forum" is almost the same as in a Google search (the forum link comes up first and then the home daizex in second).

Yahoo or Bing! and you're good to go.

It's March already, time to do the monthly Xbox survey for 20 MS Points.

By the way, on 360's Bing! if you search for "Dragon Ball" or "Dragonball" Faulconer Productions' music will show up and random Italian albums with Dragon Ball titles.

How's they're policy changed? I know they changed it and it goes into effect today, but I read the updated version and it sounds like the same usual "we put anonymous stuff on your computer".

The most important details are kept tiny or between words, because that's the least thing they want the users to be aware about.

I read the page with the boxes of info, but the rest was too long so I didn't read (tl;dr).

On PS3 firmware updates I normally just press "I agree" and download the-useless-update-firmware-that-has-no-useful-features-to-my-likes. ^^"
