BlueFire 01-28-2002 04:54 PM

Ginkasa 01-28-2002 04:59 PM

Three easy points:

1. Why is this in the 'Nintendo GameCube' forum?
2. This is extremely old.
3. This is pointless.

Maximama 01-28-2002 05:49 PM

Well, its in the Gamecube forum because its supposedly making fun of the xbox's size. Perhaps it should be in console debate....

Yoda9864 01-28-2002 06:31 PM

Lol! Yeah, the pic might be old and the topic might be pointless, but what else are we gonna do between real topics? It's still funny every time I see it.:p

Maximama 01-28-2002 06:46 PM

I don't think its funny at all, but to each his own.

The Germanator 01-28-2002 07:55 PM

Not only do I laugh at the Japanese's small hands, I laugh at their culture in general! Hahaha!! :sneaky:

You laugh at their small hands?... *sigh* How sad...

While everybody is laughing, I would like to laugh about Microsoft thinking they can sell the X-Box in Japan. The Japanese are notorious for buying national produce only, so Microsoft stand a snowball's hope in hell of selling the console succesfuly there.

Microsoft must know that they will sell the majority of the launch units, or they wouldn't launch the console there. If you would like to laugh at one of the most successful companies in the history of the world fine by me, but they'll be laughing right back at you.

Actually, they wouldn't care.

Maximama 01-29-2002 06:41 PM

Yes, they have more important things to do than laugh at idiots ,(thats his name! I didn't call him an idiot) like make billions of dollars.

GameMaster 01-30-2002 07:48 PM

Maybe the Japenese should remember what happened when they laughed at us on December 4th...

*U.S. sends a special X-BOX just for them*
*They open the box and pull it out*
*A misprint reading "A-BOX" causes them to laugh at are careless mistake*
*One Japenese man catches on*
*Utters the words, "Oh ****"
*explosion*

The Sorcerer 01-30-2002 08:21 PM

Did that really happen.I am with the USA:usa:

I think thats kind of the reason why they DON'T buy American products :D

Shadow Fox 01-31-2002 02:21 PM

*finally gets to see some Xbox bashing for a change*

*thinks about all the old "LameCube/G@yCube" jokes at XBA/TXB*

*uses this for revenge*

*laughs wholeheartledly*

Ahem. Somehow, that didn't seem as funny to me as LameCube jokes did to Xbox fans...:unsure:

*realizes he's seen the pic a thousand times*

*shrugs*

Well, Germans still buy our products don't they? And we kicked them even harder than Japan, well, I don't know, it might be the other way around, but Japan seems much more nationalistic.

Professor S 01-31-2002 05:52 PM

There is a difference between defeating a country in a war using conventional weapons, and dropping two Atom Bombs on a country the size of New Jersey.

That difference would be about 1 million civilians killed. I would have a little bit of a chip on my shoulder if that happened to the US.

Its also is a large part of their culture. Eastern nations have always looked down on Western nations as barbaric in a way. When China was first discovered by the West, Western nations feared them because the Chinese talked the talk, but when push came to shove they couldn't walk the walk.

The Japanese on the other hand had their collective asses handed to them in WW2, but then they decided to hand us out collective asses in the trade department. So I think that feeds their nationalism more.

What the Hell does "BAKA!" mean?

Old Skool 02-03-2002 05:06 PM

Yes this is really funny but what’s even funnier is the fact Xbox is now the number one Item in the hot TV game section of www.amazon.co.jp. Not bad for a console that’s going to fail and it’s not even out for three more weeks.


Top ten hot TV game
1 Xbox Special Edition
2 DEAD OR ALIVE 3
3 Xenosaga
4 Xbox AV pack
5 Tales of fan dam
6 Xbox DVD play back kit
7 The HOSHIGAMI
8 Xbox memory unit
9 The Air Force delta II
10 J.LEAGUE professional soccer clubs


Lets face it Microsoft knows it going to be hard in Japan, but hey how hard can it be to sale as many units as Gamecube launch did there? :D
