Yeah, I don't think backwards compatibility would have made a significant difference.

[Voltaic Borusse]

'Lack of Japanese games' really isn't the main problem. The problem extends far beyond that.

The Xbox 360 and Japanese Nationalism

[::shinji::]

hahaha hasn't the eye-toy been proven to be a failed product that was popular for about 5 mins? Ace marketing right there...

I suppose this will be Microsoft's answer to the PSP then?

 

[Tom]

Nah eye toy has been quite popular in the UK in bridging the gap between non-gamers and the PS2, e.g. parties and stuff.

Microsoft rides World Cup fever with new FIFA Xbox 360 bundle; package includes limited-edition faceplate, EA's 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany.

TOKYO--With the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany just months away, Microsoft is looking to capitalize on World Cup fever as the Xbox and Xbox 360 have been named the official game consoles of the international tournament. In Japan, where soccer has always been popular, the company is collaborating with FIFA, Adidas, and Electronic Arts to release a limited edition Xbox 360 bundle themed around the World Cup.

Today, Microsoft said it would release a limited edition Xbox 360 bundle--the Xbox 360 Blue Limited Edition: 2006 FIFA World Cup--alongside the launch of Electronic Arts' 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany soccer game on April 27 in Japan.

The bundle will feature the console, several accessories, and a copy of the Electronic Arts game. The console will also be tricked out with an Adidas Japan Blue faceplate featuring the colors of Japan's national soccer squad. The bundle will be limited to a shipment of 10,000 units. It will be open priced, meaning that it doesn't have a MSRP, but some online retailers are selling the package for around $430.

The items to be bundled in the Xbox 360 Blue Limited Edition: 2006 FIFA World Cup package goes as below.

Xbox 360
Xbox 360 hard drive (20G
Xbox 360 wireless controller
Xbox 360 media remote control
Xbox 360 HD AV cable
Xbox 360 LAN cable
Xbox 360 AC adapter
Xbox 360 Adidas Japan Blue faceplate
Adidas Japan Blue original bandana
2006 FIFA World Cup Germany game from Electronic Arts

apparently Microsoft is working hard to boost up 360 sales in Japan, even though i don't see there will be any change by releasing this bundle

I played my mates 360 the other day, the graphics were great but not that great. It didnt look worth the money to buy one thats just my opinion

Thats exactly what I think as well. Everyone is telling me its good. But whats good when u have to pay soo much money for a console thats just good. Is good really worth it? Nah I don't think so, but that's just my opinion as well.

 

[Tom]

[Tom]

thats true, thats the one game that has impressed me. Hands down, Fight Night 3 is nearing next gen. But it simply isnt the same leap that something like GTAIII or Wipeout was.
