According to vgchartz numbers, Xbox has sold 1.38 million games in Japan and the Xbox 360 has sold 12.59 million. That's an 812% increase. So it's might have a bit more potential than some people believe here.


Wrong.  Xbox sold 530k in Japan and X360 sold 1.66m in Japan.

And I agree with Kowenicki

Not dead yet, but if mobile gaming keeps growing at the rate that it is I doubt it's got more than a generation or two before it is.


So long the consoles will get great JRPG's there will a market for them. No matter how much mobile gaming will grow. But hey, that's just a guess.



Once you entered you won't be the same anymore. A blog about life.

I don't really care if the Xbox One fails there, at least it's motivating MS to get some Japanese games.



Well with that dedication hopefully they bring me another JRPG gem like Lost Odyssey or give me a part 2 of it lol!

Sources please, I would just like to see data on the software matter.

EDIT: I think he was talking about software not hardware.

The numbers I stated are games, not consoles. So not wrong.

How many are coming is more pertinent surely?  Which none of us know... so how about we all wait and see.  Or perhaps we can get an insiders view?

"more first party developments in progress than in recent times"

If you give me how much first-party development in Japan MS didin recent times then I will guess how much they are developing right now.

For now I guess 1 is more than 0.



Those games better not stay in Japan.
