Expensive + Bad Hardware + Bad Marketing + More Japanese centered games on other consoles + Not trusted company = how.

Because the japanese don't trust american products and stick to simple games like Wii Sport and Brain Age.

None of those games are particularly good, though. DoA is considered by most to be average, though IMO it's absolutely awful. Blue Dragon got high scores from Famitsu but it's flopping over here. Eternal Sonata is meh. Enchanted Arms sucks and isn't exclusive anymore. And Kameo isn't even Japanese at all.

It also doesn't help that the advertising campaign for the 360 in Japan was designed by a pair of leprous chimpanzees. Just look up some ads on Youtube and you'll see.

Dead or Alive has never been well-accepted in Japan as far as I know.

I heard Enchanted Arms was terrible.

Kameo, pretty good game. I'm playing it right now, but it's not even appreciated by many in America and I doubt it was ever intended for the Japanese audience.

The Xbox 360 needs a franchise that's much more well established in Japan. Having a few famous people such as Toriyama, Sakaguchi, and Uematsu work on a game isn't going to cut it.

Garbage? you mean like this?

Yep that is the inside of an XBOX360, looks like a bunch of cheap hardware to me.. Looks like Japan have got every right to dislike american hardware with this shoddyness. Oh have you not seen the inside of a PS3, looks mint. :)

Ouch. I'd hate to hear what happened when Devil May Cry became multiplatform.

Maybe I should have stated sales-wise. There are many games that are well-accepted yet don't sell much.

because the 360 hardware is built with lego parts, PS3 is solid. you know im kind of embarrassed thatthe 360 is an american product. i bet there laughing at us worldwide. i mean for god sake if were gonna make a product to compete on the international market, unleast test the thing and make sure its not faulty before mass production.

still, that's only 9. and you're assuming that every Japanese person will like all 9 of those games. maybe they only like the colorful RPGs, not the fighting genre or the serious RPGs.

My opinion is that they prefer their own products until it is proven that something else is better beyond anything they can make i.e ipod.

Because the majority of the games you posted are mediocre. But yeah, the Japanese have Bullet Witch on the 360: so that's something to look into.

If MS did this ten years ago, it would have helped, but they didn't. Japan has turned to casual games now, big-time. Nintendo are capitalising on this.
