Microsoft has been exerting all it's efforts to have Japan and its legions of gamers look its way. Who could forget the ad they have come up with, featuring the Japanese boyband Tokio, maybe to win over girl gamers (maybe even guys). But even these pretty boys has yet made any miracles for Microsoft and the Xbox 360.

Professional analysts like Michael Pachter and Ben Bajarin has commented that one great hurdle in Microsoft's way is the cultural difference, which they have to get over in order for Xbox 360 to make it in Japan. Currently, Xbox 360's market share is gasping for breath at one per cent. Fellow analyst, Mike Wolf says that "exclusive must haves" will be the Xbox 360's lifesaver.

I guess with the current state Microsoft is in right now at Japan, they are open to sound advice. As shown in this video more RPG games are slated for the Japanese market. Even sport-related games have two of Japan's favorite sports soccer and baseball. You'll also see familiar titles like Ridge Racer 6, Dead or Alive 4 and Ninety-Nine Nights.

I guess all things in Japan are just beyond our scope of understanding. Don't misconstrue what I said. I love everything Japanese. I find it intriguingly unique and fascinatingly captivating. However this commercial by famous Japanese band Tokio, although a very typical ad, would have been effective hadn't it been trying to sell a game console. And a damn serious console at that. A song entitled "do! do! do!" isn't helping this commercial one bit.

As a viewer, I would have preferred them actually playing with the product with an actual game or something like a comic skit, to keep the fangirls gushing. This Xbox 360 ad for the 2006 World Cup could be a very good role model for future Japanese XBox 360 ads. Maybe sales will pick up.
