Im not getting my hopes up anymore, watch them reveal some new Halo:Reach and Fable3 content we already saw


The Japanese do not care about that and Microsoft knows this. Keynote speeches from the big three at TGS are usually to show the offerings which will interest the Japanese crowd the most. Expect to hear about Versus from SE at Sony's conference.


se have already said no versus news or info  in 2010 and no tgs apperance showing either

I wonder why...xbox is never going to take off in Japan.


the point is not letting the ps3 take off in japan

But the PS3 normally outsells the 360 by a ratio of 10 times as much...not sure there's to that.  Apple is really the only western company to have made a dent in the Japanese marketplace, and I understand that M$ needs to try to get out and build some grassroot support in Japan, but not at the expense of it's larger customer base.  M$ has a TON of first party IPs that are collecting dust, but look at all the JRPGs they tried, not to mention that horrible Ninja Blade, which I couldn't play for more than a few minutes.


They can't really do anything about it, they tried their best and thats it you can't force ppl you know........

I'm not saying they haven't tried really hard to get a breakthru, and I DO think they will be well positioned in the next console iteration, but for this generation...there is much diminishing returns.  Maybe Kinect will connect with the Japanese marketplace, but we will see.  I just think that all that development money for those titles to cater to the Japanese market should have seen an equally robust effort with M$'s IP library...Brute Force, Freelancer, Mechwarrior...etc etc etc...all of those would have been major triple A titles, yet 5 years into the 360...we've seen zippo!
