I couldn't find an Xbox One Famitsu issue/cover on Google, but this one comes close

Those are some really poor scores, considering Famitsu's track record.

I don't know why those would be poor scores, but maybe that's because i don't belive in the notion that Famitsu scores are paid like some think! Not everthing needs to be a 10 out of 10 or 40 out of 40 in this case

Also Dead Rising 3 and Forza have good scores.

Seems about what I had expected, DR3 and F5 both doing alright.

Well it has more to do with it than Mario or some Anime character lol.

Serach for Xbox One and Famitsu on Google and see how you get nothing good for yourself.

They liked Crimson Dragon more than Western reviewers.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Famitsu is a pay to display mag.  Meaning that anything that gets any worthwhile (multiple pages) coverage is because the publisher is paying for it, not that famitsu is just reporting information sent and choosing itself how many pages to devote.

Historically anything that gets major coverage also gets very high scores.  So while scores are not directly paid for, things are clearly not unbiased.

You're right, but isn't that the same as any big gaming website in the west. IGN, Gamespot, Gametrailers, Eurogamer and many others!

Not bad scores but kind of average-ish for Famitsu :P
