the question is how much did microsoft pay Tim Rogers to cough up that list...
its sad that this "fad" hasnt died yet. how come every time microsoft is awarded anything, they won because of a pay off? its so old its not even amusing anymore, just annoying.

i think he says that because MS doesnt have a very large install base compared to other consoles and with that in mind how can they get 4 top games in japan???

There are lots of games that were amazing and still sold poorly...
Just because Madden tops the charts doesn't mean it's the best game ever made.... just popular.

what does an install base have to do with a system having good games? a console can have the install base of an omish village but still have the greatest games on earth.

More like the game developers...
Naw they have to lead by example. They have to show Jap devs that the console is capable of bringing good business for them. If Blue Dragon does well, if lost odyssey then more rpg devs will come.
