Why don't you do it on Microsoft.. failing to adapt to Japanese Markets? |
Really? Microsoft did a ton for the Japanese but they didn't care. The Xbox 360 was hope to a lot of JRPG and the PS3 was not available for a year. Instead of embracing the 360 and it's JRPGs like Lost Odyssey the Japanese gaming public waited for their native Sony to give them the same. I don't think MS failed to adapt, I think the Japanese just don't want western anything. It took Apple a decade to catch on and only after the iPhone and iPad had already spread to every corner of the world.
I still don't understand what the Japanese have against MS. Halo is so damn good they don't know what they're missing.

Always that Halo blabla
Not everyone likes that franchise - Its at best medicore and a casual FPS.
Its not their favored Franchise and Genre and they don't even like the superior Killzone(yes it is!),Battlefield(Genre King) or anything else.
Hell they buy CoD for one reason > SquareEnix is publishing it.
They even don't care for other well running western franchises like Uncharted aka the Nr1 IP from their beloved Console.
That has nothing to do with hating - Its just those games don't hit their taste.
BUT MICROSOFT GOT ALL THE J-RPGS!!!
Yeah it probably did really help to force people buying a console they don't want and need at all.
It didn't help even less after people discovered 95% of the J-RPGs were planned for the PS3 the whole time but developers didn't have the money to do it.
They needed Microsoft to finance them cause Microsoft wanted badly to conquer Japan.
They could have done better if they wouldn't have done it that aggressive but you probably have to take your chance as long as Sony isn't around.
Studios like Mistwalker said they only needed Microsoft to finance their studio and never want to work with them as long as they don't have to(money wise probably) - They had a 2 game contract and that was the whole affair with them.
Tales of Vesperia showed signs a PS3 Version was planned all the time - The 360 Version already had the "preperations" and missing stuff.It was a Beta.
Something like that of course is running wild in the Japanese Gaming Community and even i noticed that stuff while playing the 360 Version.
The beloved FF13 turned out to be garbage and everyone is giving Microsoft the fault cause their system can't keep up with the PS3.SquareEnix tried to say with that much graphical improvements things from older FF Games aren't possible...But SUDDENLY they were with the PS3 Exclusive Versus13.
Microsoft was far to aggressive with their strategy but they only had one shot.You can't say it was completely their fault..It was now or never.
Europeans and Japanese People are far more loyal than others.And at the end they were right - They get the stuff they want on the PS3 and Japanese Developers favor that console too.
And Yes - Halo is at best medicore.Don't know what you see in that.Singleplayer is boring and Multiplayer is far to much aimed at casuals(lol@MLG Pro)
If they should play a FPS then it has to be Battlefield - It is by far the best FPS Franchise of the last 10 years.
But they don't like that Genre anyway.
