According to a study by leading Japanese game magazine Famitsu, less than half of the estimated 159,000 360 consoles in stores sold in the first weekend of sales.

Interesting article. I am not one of those people that have to go out and buy the latest and greatest gadgets when they come out. All of the time I spent working in IT has taught me to be patient and wait and see what happens (Especially when dealing with Microsoft :)).

The first xbox had the same problem. .. they were having trouble selling that one because of the size of the system and the believe it or not the size of the controller.

Also Sony and Nintendo have the japanese market so establishing something there is going to be hard.

controller? You mean catchers mit?

I don't like using the X-box controllers at all, and that would be an issue for me too.

I actually didn't mind them. they have shrunk them a lot. I use a mini type mad catz one....better than the xbox official controllers.

I like the Mad Catz controllers. I have one for the xbox and my son has one for his Game Cube they are pretty good controllers. The one for the xbox is a lot better than the original that came with the xbox.

I had a mad catz for my PS2, didn't like it as much as the official one. Then one day it just stopped working :(

So I bought a Logitech Wireless one and now nothing seems the same. :D
