Why did Xbox fail in Japan?
>>
American company
>>
>>12918451
no games
>>
>>12918452
>American company
The iPhone is even more popular in Japan than in America
>>
>>12918459
True, but Japan has no real answer to Apple in the same way as the PlayStation compared to Xbox.

they have Samsung you retards

Samsung is Korean, retard, and Japs hate Koreans

SK is discount Japan
it's like America's Canada, take Bioware for example it was Canadian but everyone teats talks about their games (BG, Kotor...) as if they are American games
similary everyone (except pedantic fags) thinks Samsung is Japanese
>>
>>12918479
>everyone (except pedantic fags)
and people who have the remotest idea what sounds like a Japanese name
>>
>>12918479
lol cope. Even if Samsung was Japanese, they don’t design their own OS like Apple does. They use shitty jeetdroid.
>>
>>12918479
>SK is discount Japan
Not anymore. Outside of Nintendo, turbo normgroids don't care about Japan and consume Korean media like Squid Game
No one cares about Jpop either, Kpop is way more popular
In fact one of the reasons Japan hates Korea right now is because Korea stole their international spotlight
>>
>>12918493
maybe this was true five years ago but no one cares about gookX anymore
>>
>>12918480
>sounds like a Japanese name
stop being pedantic
Samsung sounds like Ching Chong but it's not chinese and no one cares
>>12918485
IOS is the Linux of mobiles OS, only trannies and contrarians use it
normal people use Android/Windows
>turbo normgroids don't care about Japan
oh yeah normies totally never watch japanese tranime anymore they now consume Korean slop like Squid Game and..... eh other famous Korean works!!!
they totally stopped playing japanese vidya and switched to Korean games such as Stellar Blade, Crimson Desert and the list goes on (it doesn't)

lmao, Korean games are trash even their MMO scene which once upon a time the dominated it's global market during the 00's is now dead and mogged by Japan
>No one cares about Jpop either, Kpop is way more popular
meh, only women listen to Kslop and even so it's dying in popularity, the 10's were the peak of Kslop and it's been a downhill since then
>>
>>12918523
Stop using WhatsApp. It’s for the poors.
>>
>>12918493
Not really, SK media hasn't left anywhere near the same longstanding cultural impact that Japan, Hong Kong or China has when it comes to cinema. And in terms of vidya its even less, they basically have Maplestory, gachas and that's it. And before then it was basically SEGA or Nintendo bootlegs.
>>
>implying it didnt fail everywhere
>>
>>12918523
i'm not pedantic, if i made 3 racist imitations of asians you could easily tell which one is japanese:

ching chong wing wong
hyueungjeong geung
takamakachikitaka
>>
>>12918451
The Japanese already take their lives ultra seriously. Why would you be ultra serious in your fun? They wisely partition their work and fun and let the fun be as much fun as they care to have.
>>
>>12918568
>ching chong wing wong
>hyueungjeong geung
>takamakachikitaka
they all sound chinky and that's what everyone thinks
next thing you'll be lecturing me about how Brazilians are not speaking Mexican
>>
>>12918523
>normal people use Android/Windows

lmfao no
>>
>>12918451
Because they games were shit.

There were many factors working against the Xbox there at the time. One of which was the audience at the time had smaller homes, so the large system took up too much space. Japanese audiences tended to prefer escaping from the small apartments which was why ad-hoc networks and small portable devices were preferred for the core audience's habits. The Xbox was just too big for home, but it was much more successful when volume is less of an issue as it was in arcades in the form of Chihiro hardware. So it was a misaligned target audience where Microsoft should have focused on being the arcade.
>>
>>12918451
>>12918452
This. Japanese are very ethnocentric.

Also, the Xbox was huge, and took up way too much space for a tiny Japanese apartment.
>>
>>12918459
Bogus comparison considering one is a console from 2001 (Japan already has PS2 and Gamecube) and the other is a smartphone from 2007 (Apple one upped sony).
>>12918479
Japanese people hate South Korea like crazy, it's only slightly changed now because kpop and other Korean shit is blowing the fuck up everywhere. No one is thinking Samsung is Japanese, at best they think it's another chink shit company, so basically like every Asian brand regardless of whether China is involved or not.
>>
>>12919654
>Japanese people hate South Korea like crazy,
irrelevant and does not change the fact SK is discount Japan
like the war Ukraine does not change the fact it's discount Russia
>at best they think it's another chink shit company
no one ever thinks that, chink shit is globally known for low quality cheap bootleg slop, not even a nigger in the slums of Wakanda thinks the Samsung phone he bought with a loan he'll spend 20 years to pay is chinky, it's manufactured in chink factories but the brand of Samsung itself is a quality brand acknowledged by everyone, chink phone brands like Lenovo are ridiculed and any poorfag buying one is righfully mocked
it's the same with cars everyone respects the brand of Toyota and will gladly pay exta to accquire a Toyota car but they will roll their eyes at cheap chinky brands
even in games it's the same, all people eat up Japanese games like Elden Ring but chink slop like that monkey game many people (non-chinks) ignored it with some refusing to buy it just because it's chinese (which is associated with low quality slop)

SK has a higher GDP per capita and higher average IQ than Japan. Weebs suck Jap dick for free and run 24/7 JIDF for them
>>
>>12919951
>SK has a higher GDP per capita
irrelevant shit, even meme tier turd world shitholes like Malta and Cyprus also have higher GoyDP per capita than Japan AND SK
>higher average IQ
>Japan IQ: 106.30
>SK IQ: 106.97
WOWZERS!!! a day and night difference! lol
IQ is a fraud btw
>>

Most turbo normalfags think just about all of Asia is China, or diet China, they don't know the difference between Japanese shit, Chinese shit, Korean shit, etc, they just think "Fuck it, it's all basically China".

Steve Jobs was a huge weeb who adored Zen Buddhism and Sony’s sleek product design. Apple products are perfectly compatible with Japanese design sensibilities, compared to Microsoft and its awkward half-assed overtly American products.

So, obnoxious, pretentious, with a bunch of style over substance?

Yup. This is why X-Men children of the atom famously bombed in Japan and Capcom had to de-emphasize the X-Men characters in the sequels changing it to "Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter".
