In your opinion, %90 of the reason Xbox is failing in Japan is that it's american made. If you can't prove this The Game, don't state it as fact.

Also, your examples are also bad because they didn't sell well anywhere, not just in that region.

Hmm..what of the Sega Master System then, which sold comparable to the NES in the US, but nowhere near in Japan?

Xbox is beating GCN in two places where Japanese consoles have allways (and still are) dominating.

Yes, Xbox is currently, and even with the 2 free games gimmick, not by much.

But GCN is beating Xbox in Japan because they are biased against American made consoles.

While history proves, that isn't entirely true, or DOAX (yes I know it's made by japanese Tecmo) wouldn't have sold as many copies as it has there simply because it's on Xbox. And while this isn't a console, Amercian-made Mortal Kombat 2 was a serious quarter-muncher in japanese arcades for quite awhile in the late 90's. Not entirely biased, many of US games just don't appeal to them. Surely a Final Fantasy or Lufia game will sell oodles on Xbox in Japan if that were possible.

And like I said before, Sony still dominates over here, so you can't say we are biased against Japanese consoles.

And why would I say that? Japanese games have dominated the industry even when the Atari was the top console; nearly all of the supporting software was from japanese developers, including Nintendo and Sega.
