Porn sells everything in Japan, hehe. And the X-Box is already being sold with porn. Just look at Dead or Alive, the chicks in Ninja Gaiden, etc. :P

I want to point something out.

If this girl is such a Porn Star, how come Google only turns up one picture...

She sure does look sorta.. manly.

(Note, that link is to a Google Image search with Safe off, but well.. it is completely work safe as of 6:02PM.)

B/c the last name of that geezer is Kitajima, and "eri" is in the URL of the image -- that's how you got it. Try this:

This isn't really anything to get your panties in a wad over. One of the most famous talk-show (non-talent) talents of Japan is an ex-pornstar (not softcore --- she's had a fair share of meat popcycles in her). My wife watches that crap on TV all the time (while I'm playing games usually). :)

Hentai's kept the Dreamcast on Japanese store shelves well after its official retirement. Why not the X-Box, too?

And here I though Microsoft was looking at what games Sega allowed to sell on the Saturn in Japan that helped the system out.
