Oh, I should also note that Microsoft attracting J-Devs to their console has had huge dividends in the West:
- Lost Planet (1.7m)
- Dead Rising (1.6m)
- Resident Evil 5 (1.2m)
- Soul Calibur IV (1.1m)
- Devil May Cry 4 (1.1m)
- Dead or Alive IV (1.0m)
All are Japanese-centric games over 1m on the 360. So investing in the market has had it's share of quality hits.
Interestingly enough, the X360 has had more million sellers from Japanese developers than the Playstation 3 has had (6 to 4, not including the PES series). I guess that whole 'sells better in Japan' thing is kinda moot in light of that, hunh?
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
