X360's not really the big cheese in Japan, is it?

lelo2play4870d ago (Edited 4870d ago )

Yep... MS had quite a few exclusive JRPG's in the beginning, but the Japanese just didn't want the X360. I guess no more exclusive JRPG's for the X360 in the near future. I'd really like Lost Odyssey 2 but it probably won't happen.

JusenkyoGuide4870d ago

people want jrpgs on ps3 not xbox 360 lol.

candystop4870d ago

Kind of like people want shooters on 360 not PS3 lol.

livinwitbias4870d ago

If I were MS I would dump the Japan market and use the money toward aquiring some 1st party software houses. Or use the money to strengthen other markets.

To hell with Japan.

r1sh124870d ago (Edited 4870d ago )

The whole market is very different, shooters are not big.
The xbox is sort of made for that style of gaming, and its the home market for ps3/nintendo so MS will never expect to do amazing, but I guess they are trying to get a small following and hoping it could snowball.

lelo2play4869d ago (Edited 4869d ago )

"people want jrpgs on ps3 not xbox 360 lol."

With all the JRPG's the PS3 has, you do realize that the only successful (sales wise) JRPG on the PS3 is FF13?

In Europe and America not many people buy JRPG's.

Not really but they are high rollers in the industry as a whole. Nice try troll harder. Whata brain dead article.

karl4870d ago

Who gives a crap.. they contribution to the industry is equal to nothing!..

kazman4870d ago

Watch out Tinasumsum I just got back from a 3 day suspension for calling a guy a troll, called the mods on it and got banned for 3 days. Surprise surprise

ChristianGamer4870d ago

On the subject of japan, I read on another comment section that Black Ops sold more in japan than gt5...lol.
Anyway, what is the big deal with japan?

TBM4870d ago

really last i saw it barely broke the 100k mark while GT5 in closing in on 600k? also without japan you dont get mario, zelda, GT5, Resident Evil, street fighter, capcom vs whatever, all japanese rgps, just to name a few. i would take these over most games.

mrv3214870d ago

'Capcom

* There will be at least 4 Xbox 360 games released in 2011'

Capcom predicitions are a bit conservative... watch mine. Atleast 1 person will be born in the next 2 days.

This reads like a death note for the 360 in Japan.

kissmeimgreek4870d ago

Im pretty sue he meant 4 CAPCOM xbox 360 games...

m23454870d ago

lol, four games. idk whether to laugh or just shake my head at this.

ceedubya94870d ago

This IS Japan after all. 360 doesn't do great there.

Stealth20k4870d ago (Edited 4870d ago )

So what I got out of this is alot of the same. The ps3 is the system of choice in japan along with the psp being the handheld of choice (as of late)

@ below, the console of choice in the US seems to be the wii............its outselling all 3 consoles

Armyntt4870d ago

And tbh the X360 is the console of choice in the US. Not a fanboy here either. It just goes both ways.

FailOverHero4870d ago (Edited 4870d ago )

Handheld of choice is still the ds. You keep running to it each time you wanna down play halo reach sales by claiming pokemon black and white outsold it. Only reason you think psp is selling more is because media create list ds, dsi, ds lite and that silly jumbo ds as seperate consoles but tally them up and they are still numero uno

Oh and I noticed you pointed out the wii as the console of choice in the US but somehow manage to say PS3 is the console of choice in Japan...? Last I checked, Wii was still number 1. And if you wanna hide behind your as of late statement, X360 has been number 1 in the US for 6 months last year. . .

We can hope. Especially if the rumors of Cillian Murphy and Alaska are true.

RaidenBlack1d ago

That'd be too good if true.
But Henderson also leaked that next Far Cry setting was targeting some asian island.

Relientk771d 2h ago

Assassin's Creed Hexe is what I wanna hear about most. Yes I wanna play as a witch with magic during the 16 century witch trials in Germany (as per rumors). Sign me up

Huey_My_D_Long1d 2h ago

Yeah, Hex sounds amazing to me as well, and I've been playing since AC 1. I'm real curious how are they gonna fit the magic into the game, maybe in similar way the dlc introduced gods and god abilities. but I love that I've heard its gonna have a horror vibe.

Garethvk1d 2h ago

Hopefully it is full of good stuff.

Garethvk1d 2h ago

I would love The Division 3.

RaidenBlack1d ago

The studio just completed Avatar and busy with Outlaws and also got their F2P Heartland cancelled ... IMO, Division 3 will surely come but it'll take more time.
I'd be most thrilled if Ubisoft greenlits a sequel or at least a remake of the studio's first game i.e World in Conflict

anast22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

I would get hyped about Hexe. If the rumors are true, UBI might get a gold edition purchase out of me.

Demetrius1d 2h ago

Hopefully gameplay of ac shadows or star wars outlaws, if they finally announce the new far cry I'm definitely getting that, far cry still fun af and gorgeous games, yeah ubisoft has their faults but atleast they're not copying souls like games their titles still have identity

neutralgamer19921d ago

We will definitely see gameplay for star wars and AC. Farcry let's see

OtterX1d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

I'm going to be an outlier amongst the rest of these comments.... give us something NEW! I'm pretty burnt out on Ubisoft franchises, unless you're giving us a new Rayman game!

*Edit - imagine what they could do with a Rayman 3D game in this day and age. I say now is the time to revisit the series.

RaidenBlack1d ago

Would love a AAA PoP too or a back to roots Ghost Recon (none of the open world stuff)

MeatyUrologist23h ago

Hell yes! Ghost recon in the style of the originals with real consequences, permanent and all!

Garethvk1d 2h ago

Beyond Good and Evil 2: It is coming really; we promise.

OtterX1d 2h ago

Their microtransaction monetization scheme on it will lie somewhere between good and evil!

Haha JK.... it'll be completely evil. 🙃

Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica Remakes are reportedly in the works, not Resident Evil 1

Industry insider Dusk Golem reveals that there is no Resident Evil 1 Remake in the works. Instead, Capcom are reportedly in active development of Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica.

-Foxtrot4d ago

RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.

The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.

Cacabunga3d ago

Wise decision. 2 of my favorites!

repsahj2d ago

RE Zero is one of my favorite game on gamecube!

Knightofelemia4d ago

Give me Dino Crisis dammit Capcom

TGG_overlord3d ago

And all it took was +24 years + a phone call from me lol.

GotGame8182d ago

LOL! A phone call from you? ROFL! They have been remaking RE games for YEARS! It was a matter of time!

Stellar Blade has sold more physical copies than Dragon's Dogma 2 in Japan, despite PS5 exclusivity

By the looks of it, PlayStation 5 exclusivity does not hurt the sales of Stellar Blade in Japan as the game has passed 90,000 sold physical copies.

Hugodastrevas7d ago

Stellar Blade really deserves way more praise than it got, devs have been adding more and more content, for free, since release and the game already was great to begin with!

BrettAwesome7d ago

More than it got? It got tons, by everyone except the sad wankers who's idea of a sex life, is pulling on their dicks while watching big fake cgi titties 😂

gerbintosh6d ago

Don't see the difference between cgi titties and fake boobs. Also no difference to wanking it to either one of them since both aren't physically there

RiseNShine6d ago

Salty that the game is doing well hm? ;) I suggest some cheese with your whine.

Skuletor6d ago

So you're saying the people that like watching CGI tits didn't praise the game? An educated guess is you meant the opposite.

BrettAwesome6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

@Risenwhine
What the fuck are you talking about? I think it looks like an awesome game. I don't get the sentiment that it didn't get as much praise as it deserved. The only ones who's been shit talking it, are sad wankers with no sex life. Am I whining? How? 😂

Cacabunga7d ago

I think we can safely claim that Stellar Blade 2 is confirmed!
I got it day one, i have some backlog due to RDR2 i just platinumed.. i will get to Stellar Blade in the near future

shinoff21837d ago

Same but I'm hitting yakuza right now. Stellar blade looks cool though.

neutralgamer19926d ago

Capcom really dropped the ball with DG2. They had easy success on their hand but instead with their stupid decisions ruined the games success

Stellar blade is an amazing game and deserves all the success. For all the artificial hate it got from people who had no interest in the game to begin with this shows if you make a good game it will sell. The so called 1st party drought from PlayStation has meant 4 exclusives in 2024 so far. Other companies need to learn how to run a business and plan for the future

H97d ago

Stellar blade is performing very impressively there, DD2 didn't do well because word of mouth destroyed it's reputation and not about the Microtransactions or performance, bad word of mouth about how the game lacks so many things that were in the first one

Redemption-647d ago

DS2 sold 2.5M in a little over a week, what the hell are you talking about?

H97d ago

"there", that's Japan, this article is about Japan, the bad word of mouth is about Japan

Hereandthere7d ago

Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.

The_Hooligan6d ago

How dare you speak common sense!!??

jznrpg6d ago

It would if they added a lot more combat and didn’t focus on graphics

XiNatsuDragnel7d ago

Stellar blade is great excited for 2

anast7d ago

They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.

shinoff21837d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Said that dd2 was missing things the first one did,like mass effect 2? I haven't played it so I'm really asking.

spss116d ago

I've played both and I have no idea what people say when they claim it's "incomplete". I've only noticed new things in comparison to DD1 (I would give a list but spoilers). Sometimes I wonder if some people actually played DD1 or maybe they remember it differently. Anyways, if you liked the first one and want more of that, you'll probably like DD2.

anast5d ago

Yeah, the content, combat movement is slower, less vocations, the armor system, it's more simplified, and dungeons are lacking. It's like they rushed it out or something, but didn't forget to add in youtuber pawns and micros. At least ME 2 upped the content.
