It seems the Nintendo customers buy less used games and more new products than the Sony customers. If I remember well, Nintendo was the only one not to follow the "no resale" trend ?

I'm not sure what's happening on that list... isn't Xbox 11th and PC Engine 14th? Though I see that Xbox is tied with Wonderswan, which is funny in and of itself.

Really? That seems surprising since I would think Nintendo would be on top of stopping people from reselling their games. It makes sense that they don't get sold back as much because it seems Nintendo fans are much more loyal than most and would be more likely to keep products longterm.

Eh truth be known, it really doesn't matter. I think we are starting to see a shift where Americans want mainly American games and systems while Japanese want Japanese games and systems.

Last I checked, there's still 3 or 4 times as many PS2s as Xboxes (?) in the US. So while I would agree that the Japanese tend to be somewhat xenophobic when it comes to their consoles, we in the US are not (though we probably would be if there were ever a US-made console that could attract Japanese developers in bulk).
Anywho... hah hah, the Xbox is a miserable failure in Japan, etc. etc. While it is entertaining to see Microsoft fail at something, the Xbox's failure in Japan has nothing to do with the quality of the machine and everything to do with the fact that Japanese developers don't make games for US-made consoles.
