I mean look at how successful the 360 is everywhere else in the world. Everybody loves the Xbox 360 except Japan? How is that possible? It's like they are snubing it becuase it's not a Japanese company. Don't try to tell me that the Xbox 360 library only appeals to westerners becuase we buy tons of Japanese styles games. It's not that Xbox 360 doesn't appeal to the Japanese, it's that the Japanese seem to refuse to accept a foreign competitor. Fun games are fun no matter where you live and if they gave Halo a chance they'd probably love it as much as Final Fantasy. |
I don't think there are enough games that appeal to the mainstream japanese gamers.. only people that seem to buy it are the hardcore otakus that like the old SHMUPS and those that like western games.. plus their XBL marketplace is seriously lacking stuff.. at least their inside xbox with famitsu xbox is entertaining
I would love if MS's japan team could get some game that can challenge nintendo's pokemon and make use of the 360 online capabilities and community and make it global
