Umm, I'm not sure if you're being serious or not. But if they had sold more consoles in Japan, MS would have lost even more money than they did. Losing $200 per console is not the recipe for success in that sense.
Well, since it isn't selling too well, obviously something else is missing. I think we all agree that "something" is the games. Most people won't buy an expensive gadget simply on the promise of what will come in the future. They want their exclusive games now, and frankly, it's very hard to blame them. It is what any sane reasonable person would think
The PS2 says hello
But no, I understand where you're coming from. But MS has to start from somewhere. If they can't get the install base first, not that many Japanese centric games will be developed for it. It's a catch 22. They're doing the best they can with what they've got.
