[passerby]

I can't help myself. I have to post this. In japanese, but pictures are good enough.

http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/2004/02/03/103,1075780426,20900,0,0.html

If the pictures aren't enough, the story is summarized as: The limited edition Kasumi-Chan Blue XBox will come with a Kasumi-Chan long pillow measuring ~1.6m. Only 5,000 units available, priced at 22800 Yen.

Ok, now I'll be the first to admit that Kasumi is hot and all, but that pillow is just WRONG! I don't even want to think about all the nefarious uses it will be put to!

Why don't they try to sell Xbox with a blow-up doll?

Ha ha ! That's what I wonders. And selling the bonus stuffs alone will indeed sell a lot more than bundled with the machines.

So this is what Microsoft means by "appealing" to its "core demographic"...

OMG! This is hilarious and pathetic at the same time!

Twice the humor value for the same price, heheh. The girl isn't even attractive IMO, she just got a set of big udders.

I think, in Japan, this isn't something that would be considered weird.

 

[chapban.]

Weird? It be just a LE pillow....

Hell, in Japan, similar pillows with functioning orifices aren't considered all that weird

DOA series (3, X VB) do help pushing X-BOX in Japan, there will be something more HARD CORE if there is one like the following pic from GA forum

From the lastest issue of Famitsu X-BOX

X-BOX has sold 429995 units.

DOA3 has sold 216825 copies, and DOAX VB has sold 127576 copies.

No other games come even close, the number for HALO is 76963 copies, which is already at the 3rd place of software sales.

id love to go to japan just to see how different their culture is from ours (american). This would be weird here, but i guess, from the pic, that its not really that weird.
