If Microsoft doesn't get any more JRPGs or any other Japan oriented games, it looks like its run of selling even over 5K is over.

 

which is bad for sony too , ps360 is now one console in the eyes of the developers

In Japan the marketshare disparity is a lot larger than the rest of the world.  The 360 just doesn't matter there, and never will, at this rate.

As far as most JRPG makers are concerned, there are 2 consoles, not 3, unless MS foots some of the bill.

 

 

 Just like in America where the PS3 matters as much as the 360 in Japan. Most JRPGs are on the 360, atleast for now. Though with none of them being a big success aside from Lost Odyssey, it probably will change soon.

 

WTF! Even in America the PS3 is getting closer to performing with 360 sales on some games. The 360 is double the amount of PS3s in America yet PS3 manages to sell perfectly within half of 360 games sales or higher. The best case being Street Fighter IV.

There is definatly a difference when Japan is a fraction of American sales. People in America don't hate PS3 because it is a japanese product, they hate the price tag. Where else Japan doesn't really like too much of anything that aint Japanese, especially when it competes with a product of their homeland.

PS3 software can sell above and beyond Millions in the Americas. 360 can't break 250k in Japan.

Point - PS3 can hold it's own in America. 360 can keep up with major games but not by itself.
