The Microsoft Xbox 360 is the console that has the highest proportion of satisfied Japanese owners, according to a poll of Famitsu readers. The influential Japanese videogames magazine found 24 per cent of Microsoft Xbox 360 owners were extremely satisfied with their console, and 16 per cent were satisfied. This beat rival consoles the Sony PS3 and Nintendo Wii, as well as handheld consoles the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP.

Famitsu Magazine in Japan has announced that a demo of the terrifying (and “dangerous“) African zombie action game Resident Evil 5 will be going onto Xbox Live Marketplace from December 5th.
