Well this microsoft and capcom collaboration I bet u when it released in the summer in japan microsoft prolly coin advertise the he'll out of this and prolly be a special bundle with a xbox360 just like every big title they release I wonder tho what the other two games r hmm kingdom hearts and final fantasy ???


I think I got the most of what you are trying to say - I am guessing english isn't your first language.

All the trillions spent by MS so far in Japan has achieved what exactly? 1m sales after 4yrs.

What about where the real money is made, software? How many x360 games have sold over 200K in Japan? One...just.

Seriously, lets speculate for a bit. How many copies do you think this game will sell?

Have a look at Star OCean:TLH in Japan and tell me if all that money spent on ads and promoting that game made any significant gains in Japan.

What about ToV?

What makes you think after all that a two year old PC port will move enough copies to recuperate all the billions you pressume MS will spend advertising and promoting this game?

Bearing all that in mind there has to be more to this project beneath the surface.

 

 

Look at it this way, the inroads made in Japan this gen for Microsoft have basically tripled their userbase and multiplied software sales.  Plus, progress in Japan really helps them worldwide by getting JP developers on full force.  Investment in Japan has worldwide effects.

Also, according to Famitsu, four 360 games have passed 200k ltd (Blue Dragon, Tales of Vesperia, Star Ocean 4 & Ace Combat 6).
