Skipping Xbox 360 in japan is a trend..

zeal0us4070d ago

Save them money and time so I really can't blame them.

Square Enix should have done the same thing for the 360 version of FF13 in Japan imho.

Personally I think a lot more companies should start doing this. No point of shipping a game that will barely sell.

Agree, the reason why wiiu lost rayman exclusivities right. Its a business point, than we are talking about Japan here, we can figure out what they like. They like Nintendo, sony and sushi, Anything else prohibited.

SilentNegotiator4070d ago

Yeah, if you don't think you'll make the money to justify the costs of localizing (voice acting, licensing, taxes, etc) then why bother?

knifefight4070d ago

And just like that, Injustice's Japanese sales drop by 7 units.

Good for them! they don't want faulty devices and deal with warranty crap. All my friends had faulty 360's. Now they play PS3 or PC.

Yes cause no device from the Far east is ever faulty. YLOD,TRAY ISSUES,DRIVE ISSUES,MAINTINING CONFINDETAL INFORMATION.

givemeshelter4070d ago

Shhhhh...lets not mention DRE and Disk errors on the launch of the PS1...Never happened LOL

WarThunder4070d ago (Edited 4070d ago )

Ps3 back in 07-08-09 had around 6-10% faulty devices. Xbox 360 on the other hand had 23- up to 50% RROD...

Xbox failure rate was HUGE compared to other devices.

Disagree all want fanboys, truth can not be changed...

user39158004070d ago

you are partially right, the nintendo has the most reliable console ever made, they are build to last, in the other hand you have the worst consoles ever made in the history of gaming sony product.

DEATHxTHExKIDx4070d ago

well its only makes sense now. I wonder if Microsoft will try a different approach with 720 for Japan.

I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.

Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.

bfrye26177d ago

Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.

gold_drake177d ago

silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.

for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.

CrimsonWing69176d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26176d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!
