Would have been nice if Microsoft allocated more stock to territories that actually wanted the damned thing, hmm?

Then there is also the fact Microsoft released the system with only one Japanese made game (Ridge Racer 6 I think.) Most of the kind of games may not appeal to Japan like they do to us, Microsoft should of waited till DOA4 was done, something Japan could really get excited about. I don't live in Japan obviously so I don't know their gaming tastes but if they had a choice between Perfect Dark Zero, Call Of Duty 2, Kameo and DOA4, I think they'd pick DOA4 since I think this gen Xbox releases of DOA games spiked sales for the system alone, but only for the week the game was out.

I didn't get one at launch, I still have some this gen games to play plus there are some that released recently that I might be receiving this Christmas. But I do want a 360, despite the launch their are some pretty good on the horizon games I really do want, I'll wait till next year to get it. I might ask for it for my birthday which is a couple of months into 2006, but I didn't want it bad enough to camp outside and wake up at eight AM on the freezing ground to get a console I can readily get in a few months from now, no point to me really. But for 2006 I cannot wait for games like Dead Rising, Gears Of War, Alan Wake, Lost Planet, Elder Scrolls Oblivion, Too Human, Alone in the dark 360 etc.
