When the Xbox 360 first released in Japan in November 2005 (concurrent with the U.S. release), you could walk into any given Japanese electronics store and find shelves full of unsold units sitting alongside a few returned units for sale at discounted prices. This was despite the fact that the initial price offering for the system was 39,999 yen brand new, approximately equivalent to over $60 cheaper than the U.S. price at the time.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
A 1/2 million units sold...plus the software that goes with it..., is a helluva a lot better than ZERO...at least in MS's eyes. There's no doubt that # would be higher, if it weren't for the hardware issues. Americans are a lot more forgiving of things like bad quality products/services than most other countries. :o
Xbox 360 already dead in Japan?, no Xbox 720?
Yeah, it's your opinion but did you notice that it's doing alot better than the original xbox?
like the unfortunate victims of war
As long as world wide the 360 is still in the lead, with still 8 mln. in sales ahead of the PS3 and with the new price drop the possibility to reach the mass of people at the 200 Euro/Dollar pricepoint and a Premium for 270 to 299 Euro/Dollar the installed base gets large enough for substantial sales.
A half mln. sold in Japan. It's better then the XBOX 1 but it isn't good. That's for sure. XBOX 360 might become a totally western console, which wouldn't be a bad thing. Wii will dominate Japan anyhow for sure.
They are sellin two times better than the xbox 1 , so because thay are selllin double what they used to and thers a big chance that the 720 sells twice as good as the 360 they are not going to realease the 720 in Japan ? I dont see any logic overhere.
