They have 2nd most advanced and powerful economy in the world, and yet, the way they think about world and other nation still remain pretty darn conservative. Seriously, I know lots of Japanese gamers who buy PS over xbox simply because ps is from Sony - Japanese company -. As for Korea, xbox is doing a bit better. But there are considerable amount of Ms - hatred atmohspher there as well. But the market is not as conservative as Japanese. Japan is unique country.

It's registered to a little marketing company called "e-crusade" based in Hong Kong, registered through networksolutions.com. It is possible that MS could have hired a tiny unknown company to do make their survey site instead of hiring one of the big/renown marketing companies or have their own marketing department do it... after all, it's just a simple flash site that any developer could make in a few hours. Or, it could be something else like email harvesting for a specific demographic. You decide.
