then let's just say JRPG selling on the 360 sucks in both in Japan and America.


we all agree?

because SO4 might truly be the last hope for jrpg on the 360... in terms of SE games and other companies that want to go SE-ish

 

The problem is that production values are too high for the sales most JRPGs will have. Thats why they are going multiplatform, and prolly later they will go wii.

 

 

that's also my point. why made them 360 exclusives/timed exclusives with TLR and SO4. They could have earned more w/ multiplat release all at the same time even if the PS3 version can get more faulty version, it can sell more, in Japan that is or maybe even outside Japan.

#1) Developer gets guaranteed money, which makes them happy

#2) MicroSoft, though they will lose money, will incorporate more people into their fanbase, who wouldn't have thought about buying their console before, and their brand gets expanded (eg- 360 and it's increase in Japan compared to the original Xbox)

It's win-win.
