Either Platinum Games or From Software is my guess.

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

I Highly doubt From Software would. For a variety of reasons. Unless they were paid by MS, but even then they haven't worked on any next gen games yet

They did it with Enchanted Arms..

My point still holds.

From Software is a mid tier dev studio. They are small but have been around for a long time, but MS would have to pay them for exclusivity cause it would be a significant risk for them to do it, especially on next gen consoles.

Problem is From's Speciality is Niche stuff, even Demon Souls is pretty niche, MS could pay for something like that but doing so would be more of Sony's MO.

The next main title(At the time) of the Tales series? 

First, they are a branch of Bandai Namco. Second, they didn't go under after they released Tales on Xbox.

Vesperia was released in 2008 and they released another one in 2011. Vesperia(X360) was their most sucessful home console release in the US after the Game Cube one.

I would've thought that people would be happy that MS is helping out Japanese devs and offer more software diversity to gamers but it looks like you guys are not interested in that.

I said pretty much the same thing. This is good for the Japanese video game industry.
