The answer to that is, if the PS3 does well, we can expect more content from more developers who have more faith in the product the better stuff sells, the more people who have PS3's, yes, the more our PS3 purchase was justified i dont see anything wrong with that

true that, if PS3 lost japanese market, we will lost japanese RPG as well.. Don't be so short-sighted

C'mon now I don't think anyone can even take Kotaku seriously.  I mean that place is so ridiculously biased it's not even funny.  If anyone saw Attack of the Show on Tues. (Raises his hand in shame that he did)  they will see how dumb insanely biased towards the Wii this place is.  I mean c'mon......I don't raise conspiracy stories about Gamestop biases because thats ludicrous but I KNOW that Kotaku is, and that's just fact.  Any PS3 information from them take with a grain of salt at best because it'll always have a negative slant.

I don't trust their opinions, but it's hard to spin raw numbers that they provide a direct source link to.

Do Americans make games which the Japanese like playing? It is were important that the PS3 does well in Japan as they got some of the best console game developers: Capcom, Konami, Square Enix, Namco Bandai and so on.

The game was just released a couple of days ago so so how can anyone have these research figures so quickly. Sounds like they pulled the data out of the #^&.

Apparently you did not understand what I wrote. It is very important that the PS3 and its games does well in Japan or else the Japanese developers won't support it.

Makes sense, PS3 owners NEED a good game so bad that they are willing to shell out money to buy an average fighter without online PURELY for the fact that they need a fresh game. This shows PS3 owners desperation. I assume North American owners will to buy this game like crazy just because they want to end the "drought". Mark2099
Funny very funny, calling the VF5 an Average Fighter. It clearly shows how little you know about games in general. U should try reading the thread done by DarkCatalyst (thats stickied in this forum) to get abit more knowledge on VF5.

I'm going to give you the credit of assuming you are an angry high school boy because otherwise I'm not certain what to make of this post.
