There's been some mixed justifications for the Xbox 360's poor take-off in Japan, but
often the reactions to the console's subdued success so far have degenerated into unfounded generalisations. This article tries to explain a little more about Japanese attitudes to American products, and why xenophobia isn't the root of the low sales--it's just a poor launch lineup with little effort spent in localisation and making sure the product really has local appeal.
