The only game you mentioned that could seriously move consoles is FF13 and that came out a year later. Come on now. Star Ocean 4 wasn't even a good game and sold poorly on both whereas Vesperia did do poorly. (and lol at the MH Online mention)

EVEN IF ff XV launches on 360 first NOTHING WILL CHANGE after 2 months of release for 360 in japan

It was a good game.

At this point, nothing will change the fate of any console. No matter what releases for PS3 at this point, it's not going to catch the Wii. However, if these things came more frequently in a relevant point of its lifespan, something else may have happened.

@ Wagram

I respectfully disagree. I think it was a very poorly made game and the worst entry in the series, by far.

It's nothing to do with xenophobia, the Japanese love Western movies, Apple products or Windows OS's, to name a few. I don't think the Xbox gives them what they want, that's it.

No he's just a odious little racist, his argument being that the Japanese are so racist that they will not buy american hardware such as the 360. Aka the Japanese as a race are racist.  . .

This ignores that the Japanese buy a lot of US brands: Starbucks, Macdonalds, Apple the fucking GAP. When you have money in japan you don't buy a lexus, you buy a BMW or maybe a Volkswagon. The popularity of such international (US ones at that) brands indicate the Japanese are fine with international stuff espically when it's good quality and been marketed well aka Christmas is a KFC meal. Or if you're a upper class women a LV bag or even better a Birkin bag like a upper class NY chick.

But hay the xbox failed in japan becasue microsoft is amerikin right right. . . execpt for all the other amerikin shit they buy as luxury items. .  .

thats wassup! ^^

So Microsft brought old school JRPG to compeate in japan, a genre that was sucessful in the 90s and early part of the 21st century.

What's selling in the japanese market now? Monster hunter, Pokemon, layton, brain training. So microsft has proved that it could fight it out in a era that has passed on, that shows a real understanding of the current Japanese market /snark off 

I mean shit why bother making all these fps in the american market after all during the 90s the american market lapped up 2d platformers and fighters, everyone should be making sonic, street fighter II and mario knock offs to achive market share... Because markets tastes are static amrite?

Why hasn't VGChartz put up the Japan numbers yet?

Haha I enjoyed reading this particular can of whoop ass, I look forward to you opening more.  Cheers.

EDIT: Although I think my point is still valid, your point was more entertaining lol.
