They could be joining suit like Japan.

Some American multi-plats are even being released.

Example, Call of Duty 4 and Guitar Hero III. Although these game won't sell well in Japan, Im surprised they aren't being released at all for the 360.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Japan is obvious why some games aren't coming out for 360 there, but Europe is kind of bizarre if the passing comments in the podcast are to be believed, especially considering the vast majority of the 360's library likely appeals to Europeans. Sure there are games that are more popular in North America (like Halo 3) but there are many that sell very well there (Bioshock for example).

These are the same guys who got my hopes up that Dead Rising 2 would be shown at this year's TGS, so I don't really put much faith in them, also even if true it might not become reality if 360 sales increase in the rest of Europe like they are in the UK.



Well there really is no point in releasing in Italy Spain or even France.

Yea though, no Xbox 360 games will be released outside of Europe?

Now I don't even believe this article. It deserves ignore thread list.

Because the mighty PS3 can't beat the 360 with one arm tied behind it's back (hardware problems, anti-Microsoft sentiment), now they want to have it with both arms tied behind it's back and it's legs tied up for good measure (no games released for the system), pretty sad and far fetched if you ask me, I mean if publishers were really that bright there likely would be almost no PS3 games being released.

Uhm, I was asking Engelos, but since you answered it ... why do I get the feeling there's a lot of MicroSoft  sympathy in your reply

huh?  360 is dominating PS3 in france, italy and spain not so much but weekly sales are close and 360 has an overall larger userbase in both.

i can understand not releasing them in Japan, but the only reason i can see to not release them in some parts of europe is because there are so many languages.  Anyway this isn't going to happen.
