Forums - Microsoft - Xbox 360 predictions in Japan next week after Lost Odyssey

100k for LO alone
15k for VF5

and 60k for hardware

If I remember correctly, BD did around 85k/35k though I could be wrong. I'm too lazy to look it up. Going from those numbers, I'll predict:

HW: 40k
SW: 140k

Hardware: 10k

Lost odyseey: 40k

If those numbers will be true I will understand the japanese even less then I thought.
But of course I don't think that will be the case. :p

I think this will be less popular than Blue Dragon (in Japan), because of the art style.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

The 360 doesn't need to be saved because it isn't drowning but it's rising in Japan.
It's doing better year over year and it has some great new IP's like Blue Dragon , Lost Odyssey , Infinite Undiscovery ...

Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
