Capcom will never in hell abandon MS.
And as long as Capcom make games for MS consoles, I'm fine :)

I agree, and they aren't the only ones either. That is why I am considering a position change (see original post). I am just trying to get a good honest debate going on here.
@ supercat, this is the kind of dissenting opinion that is needed to create discussion, thanks! I do think that MS would do well to invest in some programming teams with understanding of Japanese tastes. After all, those games can become hits in the rest of the world too.

MS has alredy done this crazzyman, remember the JRPG emphasis that MS had in 08? It didnt get them very far.

I do remember that, but I am not just suggesting a JRPG focus. I am suggesting the aquisition of programming teams that are local in the market and have a real idea of the pulse it. If they want to break the market, they should be trying to do it from the INSIDE.
@ Commonman, I agree about the reliable part, that's part of the "strong product" I mentioned. I honestly think that MS has learned their lesson from RRoD this generation. I don't necessarily think that is ALL it will take thougn. I don't buy the "if you build it, they will come" scenario. Perhaps though, MS just needs to "Build it" and then let the chips fall where they may, instead of trying to FORCE into the market. That is what the topic is about.
