XBox' Japan entry
Microsoft announced to reduce prices for Xbox-360 by 30% in Japan. We believe that this price reduction will not be enough to bring the breakthrough for Xbox in Japan.
Nintendo has reinvented the game industry, created a completely new paradigm. Nintendo does not reduce prices. Xbox is still in the pre-paradigm shift world... prices are not the issue.
More:
- Listen to the live CNBC interview video clip about Xbox' price cut
- and read a summary of the CNBC interview in our JapanStrategy blog
- and in our Jgames report (pdf file) (watch for the new completely revised version coming out soon)

ACCESS CEO Toru Arakawa (Oct. 6, 2006)
Toru Arakawa, CEO and Founder of ACCESS, gave a keynote speech at this years CEATEC show in Makuhari on October 6, 2006, outlining ACCESS strategies.
ACCESS is the maker of NetFront browsers and other software at the core of DoCoMo's i-mode. ACCESS acquired PalmSource and is developing the Access Linux Platform (ALP) based on the PalmSource acquisition.
With ALP, ACCESS is planning to deliver a full software stack for mobile phones based on Linux. In his speach Toru Arakawa outlined company strategy also beyond mobile phones to multimedia home centers.
Looks to me like ACCESS is shaping itself to compete with APPLE and Microsoft both in the mobile phone and the home entertainment markets.
