When you've got an entire country that's so close-minded to foreign game design that it borders on xenophobia, that advantage will help you close a gap over time.
What the fuck is this shit?
What's killing it for the PS3 is The Last of Us, Uncharted, Beyond, Heavy Rain, MGS, Pixel Junk Games, Journey, Flower, Little Big Planet, God of War, Shadow of the Colossus and PSN+ giving out free games for the past 18 months.
Ongoing GOOD exclusive games continue to churn out for the system, name me 3 good exclusive games to come to the 360 in the past 12 months?
MS has only JUST begun copying Sony (no problem with this) on the XBL "free games" thing, they nickel and dimed people for Netflix / Gold, the nickel and dimed twitter / facebook for Gold and people are speculating the 360 may well be dropped like a sack of shit after the Xbox One launch too, without ongoing support.
This has fuck all to do with Japan which only sold 9 million PS3's - sweet fuck all out of 80 million consoles.
The PS3 slowly became fucking good, that's why it caught up. I just god damned hope Microsoft keep up with Sony next round because I do not want "asshole Sony" back. but to blame this on Japan and xenophobia? Please,........
