Japan's PS3 Victorian Waffle Iron Kiosk (Can't Play, Can't Buy)

Sony has been rolling out new PS3 kiosks across Japan. They're not playable and show pre-renders of launch games like Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire. The reaction? Foot-traffic stopping. Here, flabbergasted customers were brought to a stand-still.

Only us westerners who are sceptic to pre-rendered graphics? I guess Confucius never wrote "The proof is in the pudding"...

If, as an example, Mitsubishi released a game console and made nothing but drift racing games and gundam games, resulting in poor sales in America and Europe, the Japanese would be saying "typical westerners, loyal to their own products to a fault." The simple fact of the matter is Microsoft has consistently failed to provide a steady stream of content that appeals to the Japanese gamers. First person shooters won't cut it over there. Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon are the first real attempts by Microsoft to cater to the Japanese gamer, and we won't see any change in xbox's success in Japan until they are released. Even then that's only two games, and more need to be released and at a steady, consistent rate to get Japanese consumers to buy 360s.

If M$ walks away from Japan,they will loose Nex Gen war.M$ would be handing victory to PS3 or Wii.Japan is a major market,that X360 is'nt doin well in,and never will.Thats why X360 will never win on market share.

Actually, the most important part of the Japanese market is developer support, which the 360 would lose if they abandoned Japan.

The most annoying thing about people is the stupid things they say like "OMG IT'S SO AMAZING AHHHHH I WANT ONE" ok it's kinda funny considering the fact that the only reason they havent seen games like this yet is they havent payed attention

Wow, look at those prerendered graphics, lol. Guess they're scared to put it side by side with the 360, because we all know its true, but without stupid people who does sony have to count on?
