Oblivion didn't have curb stomping and chainsaws. I thought Japan didn't like those kinds of games? Gears never sells there. |
The first Gears of War sold better on the 360 than Eternal Sonata, Soul Calibur, Devil May Cry, Street Fighter, and a bunch of other Japanese-centric titles. I've explained this before and you haven't listened. One of the big reasons Japanese gamers don't like shooters is because shooters give them motion sickness, which is more prevalent in Japan than in other companies. Gears is third person, so it doesn't have that problem. COmbine that with crazy amounts of blood and horror (similar to Resident Evil), and it's a bigger hit than you'd think.
