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.

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*

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.

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.
