Sony: We want Xbox 360 to succeed in Japan
Posted by XanTium | October 10 18:41 EST | News Category: Xbox360
From gamesindustry.biz: [QUOTE] Sony's president of Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, has said that he wants Microsoft's Xbox 360 to succeed in Japan in order to help push the concepts of high-definition gaming to local consumers.
"I like to see people here in Japan showing interest in high-definition gaming and more sophisticated gaming experiences," offered Yoshida, in an interview with our sister site Eurogamer.net.
"In terms of realistic-looking graphics and smarter AI, they haven't really shown the appetite for what this generation of gaming can offer. I'd really like to see both PS3 and 360 succeed here."
"What Microsoft is offering and what we are offering are closer, compared to what other platforms are offering. Because of that commonality, the new games coming out on 360 and PS3 help to get consumers more interested in this generation of gaming," he added. [/QUOTE]

Other platforms being the Wii with its NON HD crap graphics that sells like hotcakes regardless of that fact.

Makes you wonder if the Japanese could care less of HD graphics. The Wii is leading this gen, but what about next? SD Tvs are going out of style faster than the Japanese can turn 360 degrees and walk away.

you do realize that if you turn 360 degrees you end up pointing in the same direction you started

hahaha lol.. as for the topic.. the Wii really is a different type of console.. its aim isnt to provide HD... its about the intreractive factor.. i have a wii and a 360... both are great in their own way..
im surprised Sony are actually sort of supporting MS...
