Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony Getting Free Exclusives For Doing Nothing?

Nintendo is a thing. They have consoles too. If both Nintendo and MS aren't getting the games, they're doing something wrong or SONY's doing something right.

I had no idea they had visual novel games for the 360.



The DS had a good amount of JRPG's.  I'm sure the 3DS will get a fair amount of them as well.

Wagons of them.

But as far as I know, none left Japan.



I'm sure the guy that is going for the 1 million achievement points probably played some of them.  Just checked on his status he has a bit less then 100K to go.

I remember reading on Kotaku about some girl who was going for the same thing way back when. Apparently, some of said visual novels, have achievement guides, so achievement.. hmm... lovers, can get the points out of them without knowing Japanese.



If it requires a extensive knowledge of Japaneses then he probably didn't play any of them but I'm sure he played some obscure Japanese games that don't require a deep knowledge of Japanes probably a lot of the shmup's that didn't make it to the US.

Sony will always get those games as "exclusives". There is nothing MS can do, however I don't think any person interested in Japanese games buys a 360.


I did. There are plenty of Otaku who known 360's in the states. Its why Lost Odyssey sold just under a million and FFXIII sold decently on the 360. The problem is Otaku in Japan dont understand the need to support the 360.



No offense but everyone on this site probably already knows this.

Its well known Sony has some of the greatest exclusives, but some of my favorite exclusives on the PS3 come from Japan.  Since the 360 is basically dead in Japan Sony is basically getting a bunch of free exclusives because the developers have no reason to port the game over to the 360.  I'm not talking about games developed in Japan that are focused on Western gamers, like MGS, I'm talking about real Japanese games like Tales of Xillia and Ni No Kuni.  A huge portion of the PS3's exclusives don't actually come from first party studios, they come from Japanese developers where basically the PS3 is the only option for them.  So if Microsoft fails in Japan again with the X1 then Sony will once again get a bunch of free exclusives for the PS4, when Japanese developers stop developing for the PS3 and move on to the PS4, for doing nothing.  Just wanted to get this out, so what do you guys think?


Dominating the Japanese console market isn't that easy for you to say "Doing nothing"



The Bitch is back! And better then ever! #BritneyReturns

SONY Bring them BACK for PS4 and VITA!
