The 360 is braindead in Japan. MGS4's first week sales will probably crush the 360's best selling game's LTD for Japan, Blue Dragon. And Blue Dragon has outdone the second best selling 360 game for Japan by about 2 to 1.

IMO high end ambitious Japanese targeted content on the PS3 and lowend demanding content targeted at PS2 and Wii makes much more sense, rather than wasting Japanese talent on creating 360 games for Japan.

To tell the truth, both HD consoles are dead in Japan. It's no coincidence that Japanese developers are the first to start shifting support to the Wii. If your game only (or mostly) appeals to Japanese gamers, there's no justification to make it PS3 or 360, as Sega has already learned with Yakuza 3.

There's no way a Japanese-oriented game can be profitable on the HD consoles. <<<<< WTF , LOL

 

That's where your absolutley wrong , the PS3 managed to sell 2.11 million consoles with minimal software support , the only big exclusive i remember being released there was GT5:P.

Yakuza 3 wouldn't have sold systems on any console , it may have done better on the Wii but it still woudln't have been anythign amazing. With games like MGS4 reported to have 200k pre-orders and games like Final Fantasy guaranteeing at least 1 million sales in Japan alone it's kinda ignorant for you to say that the PS3 is dead in Japan it's potential for success far exceeds that of the 360.
