You've got to hand it to MS for having no quit what so ever in cracking Japan for themselves. Looks like a sweet bundle and I hoping they offer a sweet Gears 2 or Banjo N&B bundle here in the states and I may just upgrade and give my old 360 to a family member. :)

You think this is going to be a big seller in Japan ? I know it's a game on my radar.

Microsoft has announced a limited edition Last Remnantpremium bundle for Japan. The Square Enix game is actually multi-plat, but no PS3 release date has been announced as of yet. This Microsoft bundle includes the Xbox 360 console, 60GB HDD, a faceplate, a premium soundtrack and a copy of the game. Retails for ¥34,800 (US$331) and goes on sale November 20th.

Hopefully Last Remnant is no longer timed exclusive, and they announce that Last Remnant PS360 come out on the same day at TGS. It'll probably do well in Japanm but Last Remnant will get owned down here in the U.S. Also, hopefully 1 out 14 PS3 exclusives to be revealed at TGS, is a Sony published Kingdom Hearts 3. That'd be epic.

You are such a downer :(

Anyway, why do you think Last Remnant will do poorly in NA? Lost Odyssey did pretty good in NA.

Because US appealing games like Gears 2, Resistance 2, Dead Space, Left 4 Dead, and Wii Music will crush that game this holiday season. Imagine Gears 2 being released in Japan. But FFXIII, ToS:2, WKS, LR, and SO:4 were releasing around the same time. Gears 2 would get crushed in Japan. Now switch roles and come into reality, and thats exactly what gonna happen to Last Remnant this holiday season.

You do know that Lost Odyssey outsold almost every JRPG on the PS2 except Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. It may be a surprise to you, but there are xbox 360 owners that like JRPGs.

That's the fact Jack.

Oh and I may have mislead in the OP when hoping for a Gears or Banjo bundle without saying I would love this bundle as well. :)

And yes, L.O. was awesome, can't hardly wait for a sequel. :D

You missed the whole point. When LO was released, were there heavy hitters in the U.S. such as Gears 2, L4D, Dead Space, etc coming out around the same time. I bought my copy of LO on the 1st day, if memory serves correct, there wasn't that much U.S. appealing games coming out at that time. Take away all of these games that are made to appeal to the US this holiday season and LR would probably sell very good.

I never said there weren't any 360 owner who didn't like jrpg. But compare the 360 owners that like jrpg to the HUUUUGE install base of 360 owners and casuals jumping onboard. They aren't all gonna rush out and play LR. Lets face it, not every 360 owner likes jrpg. The install base in US are gonna by games that appeal to them. With a very few compared to the other groups actually going out and buying LR.

I don't plan on buying any of those games you listed for this holiday season. There are other people just like myself out there that will be more interested in Last Remnant then Gears 2. If a JRPG breaks 500k that is it selling really well. It is holiday season so game purchases will be going up.

Actually, that's a general phenomenon on every platform. Outside Japan, almost every non-SquareEnix JRPG have sold relative poorly.

It is an genre that, overall, has not a massive appeal outside Japan, regardless of console.

Thats a fact, but we're not talking all jrpg besides the one you pointed out selling bad. I'm talking about LR.

Compare those “others” to Core 360 gamers Casual 360 gamers Wii gamers PS3 gamers In N.A. Those “others” won't help much compared to the other install bases

anyway, good for them. they are really pushing hard over there in Japan. but no matter how hard they try, they will still fail. harsh, but true. bright side is that, it will eventually lead to better Japan dev support.

Last Remnant is a JRPG. That is what I was saying, if it doesn't sell well it is not because the 360's fault, but because it is a genre that overall doesn't have too much appeal outside Japan.

You've got to hand it to MS for having no quit what so ever in cracking Japan for themselves. Looks like a sweet bundle and I hoping they offer a sweet Gears 2 or Banjo N&B bundle here in the states and I may just upgrade and give my old 360 to a family member. :)

You think this is going to be a big seller in Japan ? I know it's a game on my radar.

Microsoft has announced a limited edition Last Remnantpremium bundle for Japan. The Square Enix game is actually multi-plat, but no PS3 release date has been announced as of yet. This Microsoft bundle includes the Xbox 360 console, 60GB HDD, a faceplate, a premium soundtrack and a copy of the game. Retails for ¥34,800 (US$331) and goes on sale November 20th.

Why would you spend 100s of dollars "upgrading" your 360 for a stupid bundle? Ooooh sweet a "making of" dvd, thats worth 300 bucks! :lol:

This Microsoft bundle includes the Xbox 360 console, 60GB HDD, a faceplate, a premium soundtrack and a copy of the game. Retails for ¥34,800 (US$331) and goes on sale November 20th.

Why would you spend 100s of dollars "upgrading" your 360 for a stupid bundle? Ooooh sweet a "making of" dvd, thats worth 300 bucks! :lol:

:? I'm talking about a upgrade to a Elite bundle.

Yes, I can afford and it would bring a ear to ear smile to a certain family member if I were to upgrade and GIVE my 360 away. Sheesh !

This is a sweet package and if this was a PS3 bundle you would be praising it here in SW as as though it's the best thing since sliced bread. :P

You've got to hand it to MS for having no quit what so ever in cracking Japan for themselves. Looks like a sweet bundle and I hoping they offer a sweet Gears 2 or Banjo N&B bundle here in the states and I may just upgrade and give my old 360 to a family member. :)

am sorry... but i really don't quite get it...

if they think this would boost the sales, then they probably would get another thing coming, cause i doubt the japz folk would think that "hey, we should buy that 360 bundle w/ last remnant, since it's a good deal."-->in nipponggo of course, in case anyone tries to bash.

but, why would a japanese buy something for $331, when they can buy the same game for $60, on their already owned ps3?

most people there already own a ps3, i don;t quite understand that the bundle would only be for JAPAN when they can sell it to other countries who need probably need more of them JRPG lovin.

epic fail for me, this move from M$. just an opinion of course.

37,000 that week...or more for 360...120k first week for the gamerofflecopter_

That's too optimistic. Probably 20,000 consoles sold. As for software, probably around 100k.

[QUOTE="StingerVXIII"]Hopefully Last Remnant is no longer timed exclusive, and they announce that Last Remnant PS360 come out on the same day at TGS. It'll probably do well in Japanm but Last Remnant will get owned down here in the U.S. Also, hopefully 1 out 14 PS3 exclusives to be revealed at TGS, is a Sony published Kingdom Hearts 3. That'd be epic.-General_Ram-

"Hopefully Last Remnant is no longer timed exclusive"

why? just get it for 360 and there will be no worries.

Vesperia moved 24000 and did 110k opening week, before the price drop and NOT during the holiday season.

That prediction is very well in the realm of possibility. After all, who would have predicted that 360 would outsell PS3 in september 08 3 years ago? The impossible is starting to be possible in japan lately.

actually i feel quite solid with my opinion. though it's just pure speculation, i admit it, and i really dont own a magic crystal ball, so, a well-thought opinion might add a personal something to the topic at hand.

well, i never read forum rules saying about NOT TO PUT ANY PERSONAL OPINIONS IN THREADs.

thank you, by the way, for taking back that rash comment.

ps. i OWN a 360, mind you. not opened yet because of the games i bought were well-researched to satisfy my gaming tastebuds, the package has not yet arrived.

You are such a downer :(

Anyway, why do you think Last Remnant will do poorly in NA? Lost Odyssey did pretty good in NA.

Because US appealing games like Gears 2, Resistance 2, Dead Space, Left 4 Dead, and Wii Music will crush that game this holiday season. Imagine Gears 2 being released in Japan. But FFXIII, ToS:2, WKS, LR, and SO:4 were releasing around the same time. Gears 2 would get crushed in Japan. Now switch roles and come into reality, and thats exactly what gonna happen to Last Remnant this holiday season.

Actually Gears sold 80k in Japan with the PS3 and Wii launching, thats not bad for a country that isnt interested in shooters, happens to hate the 360 and is caught up in the PS3 and Wii hype

First the romanized word for the Japanese language is Nihongo (Althought Nipponggo is right, but more Nihon Jin use Nihongo but it would just be easier to say "in Japanese").

Also this is probably not aimed at the people who owns a PS3 (IIRC the PS3 has around 2 million units sold, that isn't most of the people in Japan). It is aimed at the people who don't own a PS3/360 and wants Last Remnant, and the price would be nice deal.

Interesting, I wonder how Japan will react, even though the PS3 is the most wanted version. Will they wait or cave in. Im pretty sure S-E isn't too focused on the East at the moment. It seems they really want the world wide appeal now.

Tales of Vesperia is a better known RPG and it did 24k and 110k. You expect a relatively new IP to do better than it?

Price drops and bundles are going to work wonders for M$.

JRPG bundled with 360 = Win for japan, plus the other exclusive JRPGS they got

Fifa bundled with 360 = Win for Euro

All they need is.....

Gears bundled with 360 = Win for NA.

X360 might outsell the PS3 because of these :p

Right, and then you look at the subsequent new IPs that were released after Blue Dragon and they couldn't replicate the success. Look at Lost Odyssey, Eternal Sonata, and Infinite Undiscovery.
