Dont know if this is old News but was reading around was wanting to pass the news :)

 Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360 games console got a big boost on Wednesday when Square Enix Co. Ltd., the last major Japanese games developer not to have embraced the console, said it would release a title on the platform

The game, called "Infinite Undiscovery," was given a brief preview at a Tokyo news conference but few details of the role-playing game were announced. Square Enix didn't share a release date.

"We are working to ramp up the action and create a dynamic, compelling next-generation RPG," said Hajime Kojima, a producer from Square Enix. The concept of the game is to play in a world that is constantly changing in real time. Even when you pull up the menu screen the action won't stop on screen.

The debut of role-playing games like "Infinite Undiscovery" is key to Microsoft's success in Japan. Gamers here prefer RPG titles over the first-person shooter games that are popular in North America and Europe and the company's original Xbox suffered in Japan because there wasn't enough attractive software for local gamers.

"The genre will be RPG, the most popular in the Japan market," said Takashi Sensui, general manager of the Home and Entertainment Division at Microsoft's Japan unit, Microsoft Co. Ltd.

The support of a major publisher like Square Enix will likely help build buzz around the Xbox 360 in Japan. The console hasn't sold as well as the PlayStation 3 or the very successful Wii but has been doing much better in the marketplace than its predecessor, the original Xbox.

In the week from Aug. 27 to Sept. 2 sales of the console in Japan totalled 1,635 units, according to Media Create Co. Ltd. That made it the number four console behind the Wii at 39,371 units, the PlayStation 3 at 18,068 units and the PlayStation 2 at 14,280 units. Media Create receives actual sales data from around 3,000 stores across Japan and uses that to estimate nationwide sales.

Square Enix announced its support at an event where Microsoft also previewed upcoming games that will be on display at next week's Tokyo Game Show.

yea, but sok

looks to be a good game, and MS can say its a SE exclusive even though they will only publish it

well, is there not already threads about this Microsoft event ?

This game was already known long ago. What's going on here is SE is publishing it. The game is being made by Tri Ace

Really it was Microsoft then I think they asked Square Enix to publish it so Japanese consumers can get a heads up knowing it was a Square Enix made game. Brillant Microsoft. 8)

Also in the article it said Media Create collects data from 3,000 stores in Japan and uses that to esitmate the whole country sales. How many stores do ioi have?

I really can't get over the name of this game. I mean really, I hope they change the name for the NA release because I'm sorry, but the name is just retarded.

Infinite discovery?

i dont really think about titles that deep...

 you forgot the prefix un on discovery

o ya your right

Infinite Undiscovery, doesnt make sense hmmm

Still like the title better than the Japanese title for Eternal Sonata... Trusty Bell?

Thankfully now it's ES and that sounds good.
