The Japanese love their PS2's; fantastic. They better love it long time because they're gonna have to live with it for a year or more (and us round eyes are going to have to wait even longer). The 360 is scheduled to arrive in 4 months. That’s one hell of a head start.
Will the Japanese market make or break the Xbox 360?...Nope.
Will the North American market make or break the PS3?... Yes.
Lesson learned the North American Market is larger.
PS2 is more contingent on those niche games.
You’ll get people on internet message board yelling how niche Japanese games make the gaming world go round, because it’s a certain demographic of geek who just so happen to act that way.
