The Xbox has had quite the rocky road in Japan. Saying the Japanese gamer isn't interested in the console is sort of an understatement. Saying that the Japanese gamer would be willing to pay you money so they wouldn't have to look at one would be closer to the money.
You have to keep that in mind while looking at the results of Famitu's new study on the how the Japanese are looking at the next generation of systems. While 24% as wanting one and 40% undecided don't seem like huge numbers, from where they were with the XBox it's an almost startling improvement. Of course the PS3 is still way ahead, but that doesn't surprise anyone. The Revolution seems to have a healthy amount of support as well.
There are some interesting numbers here, and it looks like the 360 may be closing in on the Japanese market quicker than many had assumed.
