OMG! I DONT LIKE A GAME SO NO ONE ELSE CAN!! YOU JAPANESE FAGGERTS!!!11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 11111111111111111111111111
God forbid the day we learn that Japan has a gaming populace who follows trends like any other game purchasing nation. I was under the impression that Japan was a gaming mecca, populated only by those hardcore gamers whose tastes are directly in relation to mine.Quote:

In other words, I'm not sure I get the seemingly new "blame Japanese gamers" trend any more than bitching about the current US sales charts.
Do you expect Orta to go #1 in the US either?
It's a Sega game. On Xbox. In Japan. The fact that it sold more than 37 copies surprises me. Seriously, the fact that Orta's numbers are even comparable to Substances on PS2 is a surprise.
It's not like the numbers are going to be that much different in the U.S., no?
Well, that's not really too much of a shock given the past few years of Japanese game sales.
U.S. sales will probably be the same. I know the Japanese follow trends just like everywhere else but those sales are pathetic. There's no need to patronize.
I find it funny how it's cool here to criticize anyone who likes Madden or doesn't like Sega but God forbid we criticize the Japanese, whose tastes suck as much as our own.
88: Excellent answer, very insightful. :rolleyes:
Please remember that this game comes out for a console that typically gets 1% of the game sales every month. If this was a PS2 game and it sold poorly, THEN you could bitch about it.
Plus, how is 23,000 copies compared to the Xbox install base? For all I know, 23,000 could BE the install base for Xbox in Japan. *heh*
not true. the Japanese just love those whacky dating sims and those hentai games. i think that puts them above our fascination with blood & guts.Quote:

Damn, guess I'm not quite the norm.
OMG THERE AREN'T ANY XBOXES IN JAPAN...
... no really... did you expect it to sell 100k+ copies when the userbase is so small?
