Well, the question is simple really. We all know XBox is not the strongest of brands in Japan, so every game counts. How important do you think Scalebound will be in establishing some kind of presence for X1 in Japan?

On a scale (heh heh) of 1 to 10? 2.

Does Platinum have any presence in Japan? W101 completely bombed, and Bayonetta wasn't a very strong seller.

About as important as W101. Though the CGI video was cool and the name is great. And everybody loves dragons.

We can't really tell because we didn't see gameplay but if it is anything like monster hunter and if MS really backs it up in japan then it MAY do something in japan. But who am I kidding X1 has no chance in japan.

Its not gonna sell that many consoles

Honestly, It looks like it's going to be a douchey Monster Hunter clone. I hope they have a second better project planned for after Bayonetta 2.

Honestly, Platinum makes games for Western audiences, not Japanese audiences...this will be a bigger deal in the west than in Japan. Probably Lost Odyssey level of sales if I had to guess.

Fixed for the sad truth.

With dragonage, the witcher and the other big titles on the console, it has even less of a chance of selling well as previous platinum games in all honesty.
