This sterotype of the xbox player being a dudebro type... I wonder how valid it really is. But yeah that Raise of the tombraider... fanbases matter when decideing where to release. Im pretty sure the same would be true if a gears of wars, game suddenly was exlusive on playstation... sales would suck. |
Well, the xbox 360 at start had a lot of Japanese exclusives to be honest, Star Ocean 4 was timed exclusive in Japan and series like DOA, Shenmue has a strong bond with the Xbox Brand, yet it still sell relatively low on the Xbox when you compare to PlayStation :P.
My point is, It wasnt Microsoft fault at all, they were and still trying their best to make the Xbox appealing to the Japanese consumers as well as helping the Xbox to be the new home for JRPG and the likes.
But it just never work :P.
And i wasnt stereotype them btw, just speakin in general, of course :).
