Despite less than cheerful expectations for the Japanese launch of the Xbox 360, the location chosen for the grand launch sold out within half an hour. Unfortunately, there was no appearance by Bill Gates, but it seems that quite a few Japanese gamers are excited about the 360 after all. Peter Moore, Microsoft vice president of worldwide marketing and publishing, was optimistic:"History tells us that no great empire lasts forever. In the case of the Sony PlayStation, obviously it has been a great empire. But when a superior culture comes along, typically, it means the end of that empire. We believe that the superior culture is the Xbox 360 games experience, particularly the Xbox Live experience, which will bring communities from around the world together through gaming."
