the Xbox 360 is currently failing in the land of Japan. the PS3 has already sold Double the 360 consoles sold. this is not good seeing how the fact that the killer App Blue Dragon is already out. This means Japanese publishers will make there games for PS3 in Japan maybe they may see a port to the american 360 if your lucky lemmings, Looks like Japan really hated the first Xbox and don't wanna buy another one or maybe there waiting for Halo 3 rofl yeah right.peacebringer
PS3 isn't doing much better :lol:darkmario123it sold double the 360 in japan and xbox had a lead this alone is enough it's not gonna ctach up to that lead it's japan. why do americans buy Ford when it's the worst cars in history? it's made here and there loyal they don't care that Japanese cars are better fuel efficient.
[QUOTE="TekkenMaster606"]Japanese PS3 owners bought a lot of copies of Resistance.Felous1No, they didn't.

For a shooter game on the Playstation format. The fact that it sold anything is 'a lot' to me. We're talking an FPS game on a Playstation here.Â
im pretty sure ms never planned a win in japan, its their biggest flaw. They will never win the "system wars" imo until they can figure out how to win the japanese market.MorisUkunRasikThe thing is.....most japanese people hate american-products/imports. They don't hate all imports (I'm guessing they use windows...) but things like consoles, electronics, cars...etc they prefer their own.
Life to date PS3 in first 5 months sold 870,000 units compared to 360's 130,000 units. In 5 years the 360 will contine to sell even slower where as the PS3 will get good japanese esque games and that will give the PS3 a 10 million unit advantage which negates the 360's one year headstart.mikeslemonadeExacally. Japan make about 75% of the games and they basically choose what platform it's gonna be released. ofcourse the games gotta be succesfull in there region before anything and with under 300thousand units sold compared to the 600k the ps3 has already they will choose ps3 wich means here in america PS will have more games again like last gen and the gen beofre that remember they won? it's cause they had more games and like i Said Japan makes 75% of console games.
No, they didn't.[QUOTE="Felous1"][QUOTE="TekkenMaster606"]Japanese PS3 owners bought a lot of copies of Resistance.Iyethar
Japanese PS3 owners haven't bought a lot of copies of any game.
Yeah that may be true but there are no games really for them to buy yet but there prob waiting for the sequals to the RPGs are made. MS is trying to make Rpgs but there all new. The PS has Franchises of some of the Best RPG's ever and they wanna see those not new one who can be hit or miss. Who ever japan Supports the most will win the War end of story.The 360 is just flopping in Japan and i wouldn't be surprised if they pull it off shelves in the nest few years alil early.[QUOTE="Iyethar"]No, they didn't.[QUOTE="Felous1"][QUOTE="TekkenMaster606"]Japanese PS3 owners bought a lot of copies of Resistance.peacebringer

Who ever japan Supports the most will win the War end of story.Wii victory confirmed, then. Xbox 360 isn't relevant in Japan and neither is PS3.Â
Where did you get the Japan makes 75% of console games from? The mid 80's?JiveTif you add up the hundred of games never released here in america then yes they do. the games released here in america from Japan isn't as much as the games that never see release here. you must be very un educated about gaming if you don't know that just cause it says Resident evil doesn;t mean it's made here. Capcom is a Japanese company,konami,Square,Bandai, etc etc
there all japan companys. Dead Rising? made in japan Capcom is a Japense company. just cause the game looks so naturally american doesn;t mean it was made in america.Â

And you would know so much abaout japanese developers MR Gun signature.Japan is the biggest contributer to games ever. Capcom,Konami,Square these 3 of the best developers out there from where? Japan.

[QUOTE="PS3_3DO"]Yeah wasn't the PS3 suppose to be #1 in Japan in two months after it launched there? :lol:

Sad when Fanboys try to make fun of the 360 in Japan when their PS3 is doing bad there and supposed to be winning
Sadly i'm not a fanboy. This is my Honest opinion if you don't like it it's cause your not on the side of the fence of my argument. later when i post somthing good about your Consoles your be on my side i guess. but for now i'm wrong to you? Wait i'm stupid you guys are right Japan doesn't contribute to us it's not like they made gran tursimo, resident evil, Mario,Metal Gear,Final Fantasy, Sonic,Chrono trigger, nah not japan those highly successful franshises didn;t come from Japan there american duh(Sarcasm)[QUOTE="Felous1"][QUOTE="peacebringer"]Who ever japan Supports the most will win the War end of story.peacebringer

The funny thing about this thread is no one expected the 360 to do good in Japan, not even Microsoft. Even with Blue Dragon, Sakaguchi said they didn't expect more than 80k- 100k sales. and BD is now well over 200k. Progress is being made there but at a slow rate. The real news is the PS3 in Japan. Its selling, but not at the level it was anticipated, meanwhile the Wii is killing everything in its path.

THQ is also very involved in bringing Japence games over from japan. MGS? made buy Kojima? oh your right kojima is american.. No you obviously don;t know anything about games.

I was going to ask you if you could read, but after "brang" I guess you answered the question before I could ask it. Konami is the publisher of the MGS series, you're the one who listed them as a japanese publisher. Not THQ or whatever you were talking about with "kojima being american". Nice try though.

I bet you that when Halo 3 is released in Japan it makes it to the top 5!

And I'll bet you it'll be behind Brain Age; Wii Sports; Cooking Mama or some other assorted quirky Nintendo Wii/DS games.Â

Yeah, the PS2 has sold around 23 million in Japan.
DS catches it in the next 12 months. insane.
MGS is Made in Japan bro. Now why would you even bring up those companys if they"Brang" the games over? my point is before they "brang" them over the devlopers"choose" what platform. so the most successful in there region is what they will "make" it for. got it? good.

Before you own yourself any further, here's a tip: In the context of his post to you about game publishers, MGS does not equal Metal Gear Solid, a game franchise. MGS = Microsoft Game Studios. Definitely not Japanese.
In Japan, they care about one thing - the DS.
Blue Dragon has sold more consoles in Japan and more copies than any other game - thats commendable.
That said, Japanese developers will still be publishing titles for the Xbox 360. As the number one console sold worldwide, they would be foolish not too. Some big name games coming for the Xbox 360 are japanese titles, like Eternal Sonata, Cry On, Lost Odyssey and Devil May Cry 4.Â
PS3 isn't doing much better :lol:darkmario123
Well for a console that has been out for only 5 months and has doubled sales of the xbox 360 which was out a year longer, it looks worse for MS then sony and there arent even any big name titles out for the ps3 to sway the japanese consumers but look for that to change soon when big name titles come out.

Most people call Microsoft MS so i got confused. i was like WTF MGS isn't made in america. Ofcourse i am talking about home Console and not PC's cause american and europe makes the most games if you add PC devlopment. but Consoles thats Japans territory. and everyone saying oh 360 will still get Support. no it won't Japan doesn't know what americans like in games only american can do that. thats why Japan has to make the games in there region that there people like first. it's always been like that and no Console is breaking records for that to change. If 360 had 1 lead in Japan id say it's possible but they don't looks like it's gonna be our version of saturn but for them this time.(where in Japan Saturn was ultra Successfull but in america tanked. the PS3 will be Competitive everywhere but in Japan it'll have a huge lead over MS.[QUOTE="TekkenMaster606"]Japanese PS3 owners bought a lot of copies of Resistance.Felous1No, they didn't.Correct. Though they did purchase quite a few Gears of War.

Yeah for the time being, but u dont think japan will buy MGS4 or Final Fantasy 13? This war has only just begin, but look for sony to finish this war with a bang.

Wii is something totally differant it's not gonna get the high calibur games simple cause it can't run them. The Wii will aslo be very Competitive for Developers so it opens the windows to go to other platforms. Wii although a great product is not in the same league as PS3 and Xbox. it's 249 and it's selling more that doesn't mean everyone is gonna drop the million dollar games there making on PS3 and 360 to make games for them. we learned last gen there was room for 3 consoles.[QUOTE="Iyethar"][QUOTE="peacebringer"]MGS is Made in Japan bro.
