Wii is just a shovelware console at the end of the day so I don't know why we keep comparing it so much to PS360. The wii doesn't even have a hardcore wrpg like Oblivion on it - its a total fail. Hardcore gamers unite!

didn 't tales of vesperia released to xbox 360 in japan

didn 't Star Ocean 4 released on XBOX 360 IN JAPAN

DIDN 'T FINAL FANTASY XIII and MONSTER HUNTER ONLINE RELEASED ON XBOX 360 IN JAPAN

DIDN 'T  MS BOUGHT A LOT OF TIMED JRPG EXCLUSIVES IN JAPAN.....................................................................................................

WHAT GENRE JAPANESE LIKE ?.....RPG

 

 


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

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.

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?

Is this a honest reply to me? I don't see where I mentioned any of what you mentioned. I even said that there was only game he mentioned that had some hardware moving power (surely you don't disagree that a main Final Fantasy game did not move console and will not in the future).

More a reply to ps3_jrpg_gamer inane argumrnt that Japanese love rpg's and brings up franchises that have been falling over. What sells now in japan is not the frankly tiny ocean or tales series. I quoted you as it was the last thing I saw after making an reply to a racist comment. 

My point is that traditional RPG are not the system movers of the 90s or early 21st century.

A Japanese gaming mag usfully titled "gamage" had a write in survey on games that gave people greatest satisfaction

That Halo Reach is number one and dragon age origin is 4 is presumably due to the quintessential Japanese fascination of mecha power armor and medieval swords, that overrides their natural hatred of things made by filthy murkin creatures like microsoft. Halo and dragon age are of course the ultimate expression of Japanese games of the 21st century.
