I'll save you the trouble "Region:from California, living in Nagoya, Aichi, JP" I've been living in Japan for well over a year (not even including the year I was here as an exchange student). I have two friends who live in Japan, one which I know in person and the other from a forum , and they kinda tell me how the mainstream market is in Japan. But even if didn’t have friends in Japan, you can clearly see at the sales of the games that it’s an hardcore console in Japan. Releasing Tales of Vesperia in February 2009(games don’t sell well in January ), two or three months after the supposed release of FF XIII, for the PS3 would definitely be a smart move from Namco. |
Of course, it's still a "hardcore" console, but that's why they MS is trying to broaden the types of games released for it here. Having a broader selection can help the 360 expand (even if only slightly) their userbase here.
It would probably be best for Namco to do what they did with ES, release it on the 360 first as a timed exclusive (so they get $$ from MS) and then release it on the PS3 later which would probably put it out after FF13 (barring delays).
