They are not dumb. They wouldn't be releasing exclusives on the Xbox if they weren't being paid a decent amount of money from Microsoft. Enough money to justify not releasing it to a much, much bigger audience base.

It's also about the japanese not buying it and losing interest in home consoles. They are on a good way after the ps3. they need great games on a console that they buy this gen

Japan's economy isn't in it's healthiest state at the moment; it's not just an issue of a shrinking market. Keeping publishers in business is a good thing. Maybe those games won't be successful over there, but they might find success with western audiences-- and that is good for the Japanese video game industry.

It's gonna be a Kinect-compatible date rape sim. You heard it here first!

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

There aren't many independant console developers in Japan nowadays, let alone awesome.


There's loads!  But I can't see Microsoft paying Compile Heart or FuRyu for an exclusive, can you? :P

 

OT: Interested to see how this develops.  I just hope we don't get another couple of years of buying exclusivity of games which were already in development only for it to cease after the initial honeymoon period.

I'm guessing it's the Platinum Games exclusive that was rumoured.  Halo: Spartan Warriors is a cool suggestion also :P

The word subarashi reminds me too much of the Japanese name for the World Ends With You.

Man I would seriously rampage if Square released a sequel to TWEWY on Xbone.

Not sure if Microsoft is seriously thinking it might gain ground in Japan.

I think MS just wants a presence in Japan, period.

They want Japanese support so they release their machine wherever developers are.

I don't understand the logic here.

MS will buy a few Japanese games to move some hardware. I fail to see how that's going to kill the home console industry in Japan. It surely didn't happen last gen.

Japan's economy isn't in it's healthiest state at the moment; it's not just an issue of a shrinking market. Keeping publishers in business is a good thing. Maybe those games won't be successful over there, but they might find success with western audiences-- and that is good for the Japanese video game industry.

So is EU economy and a lot more economies.
Japan actually had it a lot better than eu or us after 2008
