A recent survey delivered a gut-punch to Microsoft's Xbox Japan division.
News agency C-News surveyed 1,000 Japanese consumers, ranging in age from 10 to 59, and found that only two percent were interested in buying the Xbox 360. Nintendo didn't fair much better, with a mere eight percent saying they wanted a Revolution. Sony did best with 60 percent of those surveyed saying they wanted a Playstation 3. The Games Industry story doesn't say what the remaining 20 percent wanted, nor what the exact question asked was.
While Nintendo probably isn't delighted with the results, they have plenty of time and many more details to release to win over the hearts and minds of gamers between now and launch day next year. Microsoft, on the other hand, isn't so fortunate.
The big M has been dumping cash and attention on the island nation like nobody's business, seemingly with no effect.
