LOL 360 got tons of JP games in the early days last gen especially in the JRPG department, it may of tailed of towards the end of the cycle a bit due to low 360 sales in Japan itself.


Why are you loling, those JRPGs were exclusives moneyhatted by Microsoft. Japanese developers wouldnt have made a single JRPG if it wasnt for that bag of money. Why limit yourself to the worst selling console? This line of thinking hurt the Japanese devs themselves in the long run because they missed out a lot of sales on PS3.

It makes absolutely 0 sense to lol at that fact. Those were moneyhats, 360 would've gotten no games without the Microsoft money. This is genuine interest in the PS4 from Japanese developers, without Sony being desperate and paying them money to develop games for it.

because those 5m+ people are clearly people that avoid COD and play traditional japanese games right?

Also Vita has so many japanese games right now because its clearly successful in the west. No one can deny that....

The point is 360 was not ignored, who cares how it happened it got ALOT of JP games from the very begining. People saying it had none is rediculous. For the first 2 years it was the console to have if you wanted to play JRPGS, with lost odysee, Blue Dragon, Eternal Senata etc.

Where the eff were they when 360 was selling more in the West?
That's why I don't buy any of their ish but Platinum Games.

 

 

SHALL I LIST MORE??

Yes please, you forgot so many...

So many JRPG's are dead because the JRPG fanbases around the world were boycotting the Japanese games on X360 especially in Europe;.

At that time the PS3 was the worst selling console even in Japan where it barely made +7.000 units sold a week.

Also MS invested mostly money not moneyhatted.  Games like L.O/Blue Dragon/Last Remnant/Infinite Undiscovery/Nighty Nights Nine etc would not exist if MS did not invested money for those games.

Genuine uh? I mean wasn't 360 in the lead early on in Japan because of absence of PS3?

What happened after 2008, when 360 was still in the lead worldwide? Jap. devs forgot about the world, just like the world forgot about most of them.

And if MS is moneyhatting, it's well done. Do it again I say it. Son¥ just sit and watch grown folks play business.

Spot on friend!

Japanese devs struggled with the complexity of coding for the PS3. The PS4 is more powerful and easier to code for which the japanese will be very relieved for. Also with huge sales of PS4 in the west the japanese devs know the machine could be the de facto standard worldwide. They will be developing for PS4 first and formost unless MS pull the cheque book out and fund devs. This is great news. I can't wait for the quality japanese developed games
