I was wondering how the XBox fared in Japan... I guess not too well. I like it - it's great developing games for it. That's the only reason I have for owning it anyways - only a handful of games that I like on it.
can anyone tell me if I should buy a PS3 or an XBox? If I get an XBox, can I also play US games? I am tired of these Japanese ones. I need the setsumeisho in English!
I'm saving up some $$ for both. I have some old xbox games that I refuse to let go (Panzer Dragoon and Jet Set Radio Future anyone?). Well, when the time comes.
skipthesong - I believe all PS3 games (to date) are region-free, but many X360 ones aren't. You can usually work around it by buying an Asian (as in sold in Hong Kong) version online (Google PlayAsia) - most of the time they'll be left in the original English version, but they'll run on Japanese Xboxes and the only difference is that the title on the box might be in Chinese - the manuals (at least for all the games I got and I have most big titles) are bilingual English and Chinese.
