Reason why 360 is the choice for niche Japanise titles is because Microsoft doesn't have a limit on how many minimum copies a publisher is allowed to make.

Sony on the other hand has a limit of 60000 copies minimum(if I remember correctly)...meaning that you can not make a game for PS3 unless you press 60000 copies of the game...and more importantly, send Sony a check of 60000 * 7 bucks for the licensing fee.

Smaller niche japanese games don't sell more than 20000-30000 copies lifetime no mater which console they are on so it makes more sense to make them for the 360 since they can pay MS the exact number of licenses they think they can sell...

I don't know why they don't go to the Wii but it could be the same reason.

I never knew this but it is pretty dumb. Doesn't Sony realize this can limit certain devs from making games for them?



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.
