Japanese Gamers Really Care About Halo 3

Kotaku reports: "They waited, for hours-okay an hour at least-to get their hands on the game just a few days early. That 60 minute wait sign was quickly updated to 90 minutes after everyone in Microsoft's booth grew tired of playing Zoids Alternative and Dynasty Warriors 6. Respect, Halo 3. Much respect."

thats good sign for the 360 in Japan that they are finally accepting it. However don't talk down to the Japanese. They play more than those games. How about the MGS demo that they waited even longer for? or the square enix booth?? of white knight story. Just DW6? please.......

hahahaha lolz ur so funn-E! so whatz youz thinkz, that japs are so predictable and only buy established franchises and genres and cant give a good game a chance? i bet it will sell like Gears did over there, prob. a little better, if it sells more than 200K i'd be shocked. still, there will be plenty of japs that take a chance on it, and i bet they will have a ton of fun playing co-op and muli with other people, editing levels, making and sharing films; will be a good break from all those hand holding linear gameplay, single player Gender-Bender JRPGs and horse race simulators. its good to open up the mind sometimes, lest you be a hater judgin everything

8 - Halo 3 - Amazon Japan's TOP 100 Video Games

Halo 3 has been respectably holding a position in Amazon Japan's TOP 100 Video Game list. It's been in the top ten for weeks now, proving Japanese gamers are finally reaching out and broadening their gaming experiences and tastes.

9.4 - LMAO

Metrosexuals, actually they look like outright homosexuals to me, the Japanese seem to really be into toddlers, homosexuals, and young boys. One of the reasons I will definately not be playing MGS4 is because we have to watch him feel up, and straddle guys while wearing his tight little body suit the whole game, I can't stand to see another mans @ss so vividly defined as it is in MGS4, why put so much effort into even designing that into the game? what a bunch of freaks, the Master Chief never touches another man, maybe with hot lead, but not with his hands.

Japanese and Korean young men are off the deep end. Very effeminate and many wearing makeup. I don't understand it, but the girls apparently like it...

you cant be serious saying that innovation garbage. What the fvck innovation has come out of japanese games in the last 10 years? Brain Training? Dating Simulators? Nintendo Dogs? Pokemon? no no, i know; Rez w/vibrator combo. THAT is innovation

10 - Halo 3

has potentially 400,000 systems to sell to in Japan. It could sell well. Even though selling over 400,000 in each territory (motorstorm) for 1.3 million gamers is low and weird to xbots. Globals add up quicker, so talk right about Sony and Nintendo software sales. Japan is very important to most true gamers and gaming companies.
