The Xbox 360 is pretty Japanese focused in Japan as well. The issue is that Japanese Xbox 360 games are generally more niche than the established IPs on both Sony and Nintendo systems. That niche appeal is immediately obvious when you look down the list. The Xbox 360 has positioned itself as a "hardcore otaku" (and yes I'm aware that otaku is a dirty label there. They look down on them) console over there. It's not for the mainstream gamer.

The Japanese-developed Xbox 360 exclusives (and I'm going in order of sales)
Star Ocean 4 (timed exclusivity)
Blue Dragon (first-party)
Ace Combat 6
Tales of Vesperia (timed exclusivity)
The Last Remnant (console exclusive. Also on PC)
Beautiful Katamari
Infinite Undiscovery (MS-owned IP)
Dead or Alive 4
Lost Odyssey (first-party)
The Idolm@ster
Eternal Sonata (timed exclusive)
Ridge Racer 6
The Idolm@ster: Live for You!
Mobile Suit Gundam: Operation: Troy
Dead or Alive Xtreme 2

God I'm getting tired of listening all of these... You get the point already. And there's a bunch more shmups, visual novels, jrpgs, srpgs and whatever the hell else niche stuff I'm missing. lol.


I excluded Lost Planet (1 year timed exclusive) and Dead Rising because I think they were made by Capcom's American branches right?
