I don't mean for this to be off-topic. I am a PS1/PS2/PS3/PS4 owner and have played on the 360 a good bit and have only tried the Xbone in a store. I prefer the PS4 because it generally has the best exclusives and less problems than the Microsoft consoles.
However, I guess I don't understand why hardly anyone buys the Xbox in Japan. I do understand the part about the lack of JRPGs and other popular games but if Sony and Nintendo can sell to the US, I don't see why MS cannot sell a gaming console to Japan with good sales numbers even if it requires them to acquire some Japanese studios.
I have only been to Japan once in my life for a week on a business trip and I don't feel like I understand whether this is a cultural thing or whatnot?
If anyone who has lived in both Japan and the US can chime in, it would be greatly interesting to hear your perspective on this.

PS: I want the PS4 to be the better console and it is IMO but I also want Microsoft and Nintendo to compete because we will all get better games that way!
