I think so.
Due to recent news involving X, formerly Twitter and its owner, the staff of SuperHeroHype have decided it would be best to no longer allow links on the board. Starting January 31st, users will no longer be able to post direct links to X on this site, however screenshots will still be allowed as long as they follow Hype rules and guidelines. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Me, I am so excited for the Wii! It's going to be the best of the three consoles in my opinion.
Um...no. I don't know where you've been, but Japan has actually been the smallest video game market out of the big three for years. I mean, this isn't even debateable anymore, this was a closed case before the original xbox was ending it's lifehippie_hunter said:Won't happen on account that the Xbox 360 is a complete failure in Japan, the biggest video game market.

And regardless, it's NOT going to be a failure in Japan. It will, no doubt, be 3rd place, but it will not be an Xbox-esque failure. It has several RPG exclusives coming from several of japan's most celebrated and best selling game developers in Mistwalker, people like Hinorobu Sakaguchi, who created final fantasy, in additon to games like Bullet Witch, Dead or Alive, Ninja Gaiden, N3, Resident Evil, Lost PLanet, etc. Games from Japanese developers, games that sell great, games that have hype, games that the japanese want, something the xbox sorely lacked.
Manny Calavera said:Japan hates the Xbox brand? No, that's a myth, made up people that believe japan hates it out of xenophobia or something, largely because they refuse to admit that Microsoft dropped the ball in Japan and didn't take the region seriously. They don't hate Xbox, they don't hate Microsoft, and they don't hate American products. They hated the product that they saw, because it sucked, it was filled with mediocre games that were largely untranslated and not made to appeal to them. This time is entirely different, in every way. If you can't see that, you're either ignorant of the facts or unwilling to see them, and either way that leaves this argument going towards a dead end. Time will prove me right.
As for the other...you're biggest argument that Japan is the biggest is a vague personal opinion about why the DS is hammering the PSP? Are you serious? Wow. Look, Japan is number 3, behind Europe, number 2, and America, number 1. Those are the facts. I'm not going to bother arguing those facts to you anymore either, because like the Xbox in Japan scenario, your post leaves you either entirely ignorant of the facts or unwilling to acknowledge them, which leaves me in a position of wasting my time if I try to tell you the truth of the matter.
