| Onyxmeth said: Oh my bad. Didn't see that. I don't understand the point of the question though. This isn't exactly the mirror image situation of what was presented in the OP. Americans do buy JRPGs. It's just that the series they prefer don't happen to be on the 360. Something is telling me Americans will buy JRPGs once the one they want, Final Fantasy XIII is released. Also, American 360 owners may not buy as many of the offered JRPGs, but they still buy more than the Japanese 360 owners do. Maybe the question you should be asking is why more Americans like the 360's JRPGs than the Japanese do? Why did Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Star Ocean 4, The Last Remnant, Infinite Undiscovery, Eternal Sonata and Final Fantasy XI all sell better in America? |
Why can't the same apply to the Japanese?
You do realize that the 360's install base in America absolutely is HUGE compared to the obsolutely tiny install base in Japan... and still taking that to account, the Last Remnant sold almost the same ammount in Japan and the US.
