Totally agree. They tried really hard on the first three years of Xbox 360 life and they failed to sell the console at acceptable rate. They were releasing two or three exclusive JRPG per year. I mean look at this list:

Lost Odyssey

Blue Dragon 

Tales of Vesperia

Eternal Sonata

Magna Carta

Infiniti Undiscovery

the Last Remenant 

Star Ocean 4

Ace Compatible 6

+ Other smaller exclusivesize

In addition to getting a lot of multiplatform like FF13 and Resident Evil

 

Xbox 360 was the place to go when you're looking for Japanese content and that says a lot. 

 

No one can really are more from them, and yet they didn't even reach 2 million.

 

And people in the west didn't help. Those games barely broke 500k. 

 

You'Lloyd have a very hard time convincing the investor to pump more money repeating the experiment. 

 

 

 

They'd probably like those 360 numbers in Japan for the Xbox one. Also, wouldn't those types of games likely increase console sales outside of Japan as well?  It's not as though they couldn't use help in Europe and other markets. 

It did help increase the sales outside Japan but not the amount that justify the money they lose every year securing those exclusive. You can look how much those games sold outside Japan to find it is not a real help.
