didn 't Star Ocean 4 released on XBOX 360 IN JAPAN

DIDN 'T FINAL FANTASY XIII and MONSTER HUNTER ONLINE RELEASED ON XBOX 360 IN JAPAN

DIDN 'T  MS BOUGHT A LOT OF TIMED JRPG EXCLUSIVES IN JAPAN.....................................................................................................

WHAT GENRE JAPANESE LIKE ?.....RPG

 

 


The only game you mentioned that could seriously move consoles is FF13 and that came out a year later. Come on now. Star Ocean 4 wasn't even a good game and sold poorly on both whereas Vesperia did do poorly. (and lol at the MH Online mention)

EVEN IF ff XV launches on 360 first NOTHING WILL CHANGE after 2 months of release for 360 in japan

At this point, nothing will change the fate of any console. No matter what releases for PS3 at this point, it's not going to catch the Wii. However, if these things came more frequently in a relevant point of its lifespan, something else may have happened.

@ Wagram

I respectfully disagree. I think it was a very poorly made game and the worst entry in the series, by far.

So Microsft brought old school JRPG to compeate in japan, a genre that was sucessful in the 90s and early part of the 21st century.

 

What's selling in the japanese market now? Monster hunter, Pokemon, layton, brain training. So microsft has proved that it could fight it out in a era that has passed on, that shows a real understanding of the current Japanese market /snark off 

 

I mean shit why bother making all these fps in the american market after all during the 90s the american market lapped up 2d platformers and fighters, everyone should be making sonic, street fighter II and mario knock offs to achive market share... Because markets tastes are static amrite?
