Makes sense. Microsoft tried hard to get Japan to buy the 360. I remember them getting a bunch of exclusive JRPGs early on, and none of them worked. No point in even trying there anymore.

If by that you mean none made the 360 worth it over PS3 than sure, but they did help 360 sales when they came out. The problem was they stopped coming and PS3 continued to get great JRPGs aswell as those Xbox exclusives


MS took this approach to all their games. The last exclusive new IP they had was Alan Wake. I love my 360 but they dropped the ball halfway through. I went with Sony because of that, and because it's the easiest machine to program for which clearly matters as we saw from last gen.


I guess you never heard of Forza Horizon as much as I liked Alan Wake, Horizon is a much better game its actually the highest rated racing game released over the last two years both critically and by people that own it.


I guess you never took reading comprehension "new ip" Forza does not fit that category.  Also a much better game? Trying to compare Alan Wake to a racing game makes no sense at all there two completely different games.

I guess you never played the game Forza Horizon is a new IP it completely different from all the other Forza games its a open world arcade style racer.

Halo Reach, Halo:ODST and Halo 4 are all different IPs... the same happens with New Super Mario Bros, New Super Mario Bros Wii and New Super Mario Bros WiiU, SMG, SM3DLand and SM3W.
