Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft What Can They Do Now? Especially at Tokyo Game Show?

Onyxmeth on 18 August 2009

Who cares if Microsoft caters to Japan? Has any of their past catering resulted in anything ridiculously positive? All the titles that the Japanese loved sold moderately well to shit stain poor in the other two regions. Let me add those are the two regions actually buying Microsoft consoles. What they need to worry about is their primary audiences, and they did an admirable job at E3 catering to those fine folks.

Tokyo Game Show doesn't even matter. Who's the Japanese leader on both handheld and console fronts? If they don't give a shit to show up to TGS ever, how can it really be all that important to win it?

With PS3 getting a price cut to $299 what do you think Microsoft can do now in response to that.  This question has probably already been asked several times, so I'm going to make it a bit more specific.  It appears that MS has lost E3 to Nintendo and Sony and Gamecon to Sony.  And Nintendo will probably beat Microsoft's Gamecon showing with their own show in a few days, so, in my opinion, that leaves the Tokyo Game Show as Microsoft's last stand for the year.

Now, Microsoft has made great efforts to try to generate success for the xbox in Japan this gen especially to make up for the much ridiculed lack of success for th original xbox there last gen.  Even though Microsoft has expended considerable energy in trying to become more successful in Japan none of their Japanese exclusives have really had much success.  And two exclusive (as of now) FFs coming to the PS3 in Japan while Japanese developed games that were thought to have been 360 exclusives have been announced to be making the jump to the PS3 instead Tales of Vesperia, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Lost Planet II it now appears that the 360's fortunes in Japan grow ever dimmer.

At the end of the day though Microsoft hates to fail and it looks like they are going to have to make their last stand of the 2009 VG Conferences at Tokyo Game Show, so surely they will have some plan or something up their sleeve.  What do you think Microsoft will do at the Tokyo Game Show to try to make up for the rest of this year and possibly secure a better fortune for themselves next year worldwide or in Japan?

 

 

seriously. seriously.........

Alright, your "superior" opinion is as stupid as it can get. So I suggest you do some research on the xbox 360 exclusives for 2009/2010. Until you know your stuff, you are just speaking out of your ass right here.

As for the japan bit..

"Xbox 360 saw its sales more than triple in Japan compared to last Spring"

So it DID have a big effect? Wowee! I guess that one minute on google search did work!

 

As for the last bit, ummm, ok? Maybe they'll show more footage of crackdown 2? TGS WINNERZ CONFIRMED.

XBOX 360 exclusives for 2009 and 2010:

Halo ODST and Reach. Yay even more milking of the Halo franchise because Microsoft can only come up with a couple of games each gen that sell.

Alan Wake: 2010. Going up against God of War III and probably the NA version of GT5 and the own propensity for MS games that have been delayed forever to only turn out to be average at best. See Too Human, Sudeki, etc.

Mass Effect 2 probably coming to PS3.

Splinter Cell: Conviction probably coming to PS3.

Gears 3. I'll give them that one.

Now these games are going up against two exclusive PS3 Final Fantasies in Japan. One probably a worldwide exclusive. GT5 The Real Driving Simulator featuring everything that Forza 3 doesn't. God of War III. The Last Guardian. In my opinion, Microsoft's lineup doesn't hold a candle to what Sony has coming out.

Throw in Metroid: Other M on Wii, Zelda Wii, and Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Wii, the 360's lineup is looking pretty shabby in comparison to both.

microsoft had the best e3 showing...so i think i will ignore the rest of your post.


Actually they had the worst.  Scribblenauts was game of the show.  And Metroid:  The Other M and The Last Guardian the two most impressive titles.

Because you say so.  Most gaming websites said MS won E3

Then again, they are just opinions as well. There is no way of telling how anybody wins E3.



can't wait for Track Season 2009/2010, guna beast out!

Travis Touchdown ERECTION CONFIRMED!
