MS did try to get Japan on board with those JRPG timed exclusives but to be fair they were a)timed freaking exclusives, if you were Japanese and had no interest in getting 360 and you knew those games were going to come eventually with bonus content, wouldnt you just wait for it to come on the system you already have/want? I would and b) those games werent even that great to begin with, nothing to go gaga over.

To be fair most of those games didn't have the PS3 version announced until after the game settled on the 360 for a period of time. A lot of marketing from 06-10 period. And 360 had amazing Japan exclusive XBLA games from indie devs in the country, notable ones were Cave shooters.

Point being, 360 deserved better for the effort they put in. Not saying it should have truly taken off, but it deserved more sales.

and you know this how? WE didnt know about it but that doesnt mean that our Japanese counterparts didnt know about it, im sure they did, especially on the bigger titles. like Star Ocean and Tales of Vesperia, sure they knew those were going to PS3. Hell Star Ocean was announced as a timed exclusive and even then as I stated most those games werent that good in the first place. So why would they spend money on a console they probably dont want to play some mediocore games? XBLA? im sure that feature isnt anywhere near relevant over their, so it doesnt matter what they put on XBLA, hell its not like they are even paying for Gold to access that content?(could be wrong about that)

Doesnt deserve anything, the market determines what it deserves.
