The Hell? None of these make me think "God! What perfect games to launch in Japan!" Instead they all seem like Westernized games.

 

Am I wrong or is this the first nail in the coffin for the X1 over there? They still have room for more errors, but this was a serious mistake, unless I am missing something.

For what its worth, this is all games coming to Japan at launch according to Gamefaqs.

Japan

09/04Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts (Dubbed Edition), Child of Light, Crimson Dragon, Dance Central Spotlight, Dead Rising 3, Forza Motorsport 5, Halo: Spartan Assault, Killer Instinct, Kinect Sports Rivals, LocoCycle, Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, Murdered: Tamashii no Yobu Koe, Musou Orochi 2 Ultimate, Need for Speed: Rivals, Onigiri, Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare, Powerstar Golf

Well, that's much better lineup numberwise. But it seems that, aside for MS exclusives, all the other games have been available in Japan for quite some time.

I'm not sure if they expect to sell many copies of those...
