October 29, 2008 - Guess which system came out on top when Japanese game publishers were asked for their opinion on the Tokyo Game Show? Wii? PS3? Try Xbox 360!

Famitsu polled 55 game makers on a variety of topics regarding the recent game event. Most notably, for the question of which system left the strongest impressions, Xbox 360 managed 26 of the votes, beating out the PS3's 14 and the Wii's 12. PSP and DS got 8 and 6 votes respectively.

Strangely, 360 didn't place too highly when it came to the choice of top console games from the show. Monster Hunter 3 took top place with 31 votes, followed by Resident Evil 5's 21. Last Remnant got 6 votes. Below it were White Knight Chronicles, Yakuza 3, LittleBigPlanet, and Let's Tap, with 5 votes each.

For portable systems, Capcom's Gyakuten Kenji, an offshoot of the Phoenix Wright series, took top honors with 15 votes, folowed by Dragon Quest IX and Level 5's recently announced Studio Ghibli tie-up Ni no Kuni, each with 11. Dissidia Final Fantasy and Professor Layton and the final time journey rounded out the top 5 with nine votes each.

With Capcom games taking top honors in both categories, and with the well-known reports of four hour plus waits for Monster Hunter, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the publishers were impressed with Capcom's booth. Forty-five responders selected it as the booth that left the strongest impression. Below that, Microsoft and Level-5 tied for 12 votes. Sega got 11 votes and Sony got 9.


Looks like the 360 should be getting more Japanese games. I wonder what they were impressed with?

Well they should....MS is continually trying to appeal to the Japanese. They get an (A) for effort at least.

i still think marvellous are not getting the recognition they deserve. They have a range of very promising games that seem to be getting ignored

also how come more games seems to equal less points? makes no sense

It will come I think; they are still a relative unknown. No More Heroes was a good start, but hopefully what they have on the horizon will bring more reconigtion(sp?).

Also I agree the effort that Mircosoft has put in to change the image of "American" console in Japan has been very good. Definitely an A for Effort.
