Injustice: Gods Among Us is coming to Japan, but it will take two months for Solomon Grundy to learn Japanese. The DC comics fighting game will be available on June 9, but Warner Bros. is skipping Xbox 360. Injustice: Gods Among Us is a PS3 and Wii U game in the region.

Spike Chunsoft picked up Terraria, a port of a 2D digging/action game from Re-Logic, but again it appears to be a PS3 only title in Japan. In the West, Terraria will be released as a downloadable game for PS3 and Xbox 360. Other multiplatform titles like Metal Gear Rising: Revengance and Silent Hill: Downpour are also PS3 exclusive in Japan. With a handful of publishers already dropping Xbox 360 support in Japan this early on, I wonder how Microsoft will try to convince gamers in Japan to pick up their next console. Microsoft actively worked with Japanese developers for Xbox 360 by publishing games like Blue Dragon, Ninety-Nine Nights, Lost Odyssey, Everyparty from Game Republic, and Ninja Blade from FromSofware. Microsoft also signed a deal with tri-Ace to start Infinite Undiscovery (which was later published by Square Enix) and brought Monster Hunter Frontier Online to their system.

Surprised its taken this long to be honest.

Will be interesting to see if MS can improve on the 360 next gen. They sure did play all the right shots in the early years this time out.

It will be interesting to see MS's strategy in Japan. Will they go all out to try to win it or basically ignore it as a lost cause?

Why don't the Japanese like Halo? It's so damn good, if they tried it they probably would love it.

Because they are racist

Zenophobic maybe, but racist is probably to harsh for not liking western video games.

Guess they will try again,may not as big as 360 at first few years

I doubt it, and I would be pretty surprised if they even try again. They had those early gen Capcom games, Tales of Vesperia, TWO games from the daddy of Final Fantasy, even Tak Fujii's extreme hack and slash with over WON MIRRION TROOBS, and the Japanese didn't give one shit.

All that really matters is that the Japanese games that matter continue to be multiplats in the West.

it's not like it sells nothing.  I mean 100k is not that bad.

The Japanese really really REALLY don't like guns.

Not to mention it's only on the Xbox which people in Japan don't buy at all.
