Xbox 360 in JAPAN (pics)

[Akihabara]

Microsoft is doing all the can in Japan to make the Xbox360 at least a little bit more succesfull then the Xbox. I went out and took some Xbox360 promotion stuff pics like booths and the big DOA4 commercial on the main street of Akihabara. Enjoy the pics at www.nozomi.nl (click at right side thumb on main screen). Example : )

That ad makes the 360 look like some kind of water filter. The 'house wife' in the pink jumper next to it, doesn't help...

I was going to say much the same thing - the new Brita filter ads look cooler than that billboard...

nice pics man.It's a good start but it's still a shame that the only alluring/appealing game to japanese gamers is DOA.At least thats what the stores are shoving in their faces.

Stick huge posters of RR6,Ninety Nine Nights and eM up there.I mean it's widely known that the xbox was a one trick pony in japan with the team ninja games and the last thing you want to do is lead them to believe thats all the 360 will be.MGS Japan have got a mountain to climb.Good Luck to 'em.

Oh and the controller is pure sex!

Make that Mt. Everest.

Why does no one seem to realise that
1) The 360 can also lie flat; and,
2) This is a much safer configuration for your shiny new expensive console?

And yeh, it looks more like a kettle each day, doesn't it? And at least the Brita filter ads have real sexy ladies in them, as opposed to CG ones.

I thought they were going to launch in Japan with an RPG, but obviously it could be anything up to a year away now that the 'launch window' is in progress and Mistwalker and the other lot said they're not ready yet.

cant understand why they would choose such a bad pic for the DOA4 bit

I mean the game is overflowing in tits and ass and we all know how much the japs are into that!

get the lassie in a jap school uniform bending slightly suggestively with a 360 propped between her knees!

Cor don't start me off
I think it was fairly obvious to me that they weren't quite sure of their strategy when they delivered the godawful TGS keynote.
Are you following me around the forum or something? You seem to be posting directly after me in a few threads just now.
