Did you know in Japan when a new video game system is released, The Government urges the companys to release the systems on weekends due to the fact that National productivity goes down everytime a system or a extremely long awaited game comes out. Post other facts about Japan and video games here.

they release more games a month then all other countries in a year

EDIT:: somehow I think they might misconsrtude that. I think I meant 1 country, but it beats all countries. (untogether) probobly becaquse everything gets released first there and most games are made their because of outsourced jobs from dif countries

I have a fact! But it's not about video games...

The fact is: You can get sent to jail if you're caught walking funny in Japan.

You go to school from April until March, then start all over again. (Of course, there are breaks in between.) When you are finished Grade 9, you have to take a test so the school can determine which high school you should go to. (I personally think that's really insulting, because there'll be people going to the "dumb" school, and there'll be people going to the "smart" school.)

Anyhow, back on topic.... most of the games do originate in Japan. Pretty soon Sony will release a hand-held game console (sorta like Gamb Boy).

Oh yeah.... one fact I thought was funny...... PS2 was released in Japan in 1998.

I don't think they would...

Then If I went to Japan I'd be sent to jail.

54% of all families with a teenager in Japan own a Gamecube.

23% own PS2.

Less than 1% own an Xbox.

51% own a computer.

It seems video games are more popular than computer. O.o

You just screwed your whole topic about Gamecube not being for adults with this one Sumner, 54% of all families with a teenager own a Gamecube, so that means the other 46% Plus 23% own a Ps2?

People can own more than one system you know. Some don't own any.

The Japanese respect the elders. Instead of making them move into an old folks home.. their dads, moms, grandparents live with them.
