Then explain to me why the 360 is getting all the japanese support when its selling at a very slow rate in japan.

 

 In most cases:

1. Start the developing the game for the 360 and PS3
2. Release the game on 360 while still tweaking everything to work on the PS3
3. Add the extra content on the PS3 to make up for the delay
4. Release the game on the PS3 like the "definite version"

While there are exclusives like Lost Oddisey, some are time-exclusives while the PS3 version is in the works with extra features.....

Sound like using the Xbox 360 in favor of the PS3. Many game developers will follow this pattern to get the extra sales making it "multiplatform"

And that's why Eternal Sonata is only being released on the ps3 in Japan. ;_;
