So a more accurate headline would be something like "360 sales return to normal after a Reach-inspired retail spike", no? ;)
Currently playing - 360: Halo Reach // Wii: Metroid Prime // PS3: Heavenly Sword

I was thinking about writing something similar, although perhaps slightly more ironic and not so savoury.

It's paid, moron.

Also, 'finish them off'? - how does that work, exactly?

Are MS going to see the poor sales of Kinect in Japan, start crying and recall every single XBox, 360 and game ever sold - never to darken the doors of gaming again?

Perhaps it's more the case that MS know more about the market than you do and probably know that they're never going to fully dominate Japan for sales? - that is, of course, assuming that they know more about the games industry than you do.

:lol:

Never under-estimate the retards... and don't argue with the stupid, they drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

At least it's still beating the PSPGo, which obviously must be saying something about the handheld :roll:

I do wonder why M$ bother, I tend to think the 360 is better off because of it's western roots, it certainly has more games of the type i like to play, but M$ should realise by now that Japan is a lost cause, our gaming tastes are just too different.
