XBOX 360: It ain't popular here
Yesterday, I popped into a large toy store down in Osu Kanon. The first floor is completely filled with video games, with large kiosks setup right in front for the Wii, PSP, PS3, and DS.
But wait: where's the XBOX 360? Back in a corner, with its back to everyone. With nobody around. It just ain't popular here!
My thoughts? It never will be. With Playstation 3 fever on the rise (Metal Gear Solid's launch isn't far off), hard core gamers here have already decided which system is the winner. 360 sales here remain a joke week after week, and there's no signs that this will change anytime soon.
Haven't seen a single 360 commercial here yet, either, and I watched a lot of tv yesterday, too. Will keep you updated!
