That's not the whole truth. Japanese devs never bothered growing JRPG fanbase on Xbox platforms.

For example, Lost Odyssey sold like the best selling Persona game. Blue Dragon sold more than any Persona.

Only one Tales of Xillia sold more than BD.

That was in 2007/08, they never capitalized on the interest of Xbox gamers on JRPGs.

Jap. devs wanted moneyhat from MS. That's their bad.

thats actually false. MS was the ones to moneyhat them which is why they even got those games as exclusives in the first place. Fact is they tried and it didnt work, those games didnt sell enough where MS wanted to continue to moneyhat and Japan devs were going to continue to support, it would make no sense for htem to do so when in their home country xbox is a non factor.

Edit: Your numbers are odd as well, why compare LO to Persona? they are not even the same type of game, but even then it actually makes LO look worse. Do you really wanna compare LO a game that released much earlier and to a much bigger audience to a PORT of a PS2 game released on handheld? Even then P4Golden did better if we throw in digital numbers which make up about an additional 15% sales.

Why not compare Tales to other Tales games? Tales games do better on PS systems despite them not being released until much later in their lives. If im a Japanese dev ya damn right i want MS to give me money cause i most likely wont make up for it in sales of the game at least not as much as i would other systems.

How does MS moneyhatt Mistwalker, if they helped Sakaguchi fiancially get the studio started? Did Mistwalker gamehatt them back?

I meant to compare Shin Megami Tensei. To me they were the same.

It's a waste of time arguing with you just by reading the last sentence.
