I think it was a mistake for them to drop the jRPG development so fast. It left a bad impression on jRPG fans like myself when they did that. Next generation, I don't think I'll be getting the Xbox console and probably the five other people that bought the console for jRPGs instead of shooters feel the same way.

Exactly what JRPG development has Sony done for the PS3?  It looks like most companies have moved away from that area.  It is likely JRPGs aren't what they used to be as far as relevance to the market.  The portable market, which is a growth area in Japan, has seen it get the bulk of JRPGs.


Wasn't really talking about Sony in my post, but they are now getting the majority of the third party exclusive support as far as home consoles are concerned.  Tales series, Ni no Kuni, all the NIS games, etc.



"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

MS won't get Japan cause its not there market. i don't think JRPG's would have help'd either other wise they would have sold twice as much as they have so far with blu dragon, star ocean, and LOST ODYSSEY.

their were weeks that X360 was outselling the PS3 in Japan,  yes with a lot more effort they could have made it,   only they give up because the market is way to small and needs to much effort to conquer.

i know but it wouldn't have mattered.

MS thought Japan was like the rest of the world even having led PS3 in sells in Japan but MS was dead wrong. they thought Halo and other shooters were there trump cards when shooters strted taking off and they were dead wrong.

MS has a good formula but still lacking an identity. if the smooth out the ruff edges i think they'll be a bigger threat next gen.

What?  They had a lot for japan,  how many exclusives and time exclusives did they got in Japan?  20-30?  40?

Even got a a huge a group of fans (including the weird cat eating girl X_X)...

dud thats just how i see it. your telling me things i already know which is pointless. i never said they had nothing for Japan. check my quote to darthtigers and you'll see i've reluctantly gave MS credit for there work in Japan.

360 is just not a product for Japan, but i have faith MS will do beter next gen as will Sony in the U.S.

Even better idea.

MS needs to bundle their console with Sony and Nintendo's current gen console.
