[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.StingerVXIII

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.

Usually your right, but do you remember when Gears released in Japan on a much smaller user base? It was in the top 5 at one point, and in the top 10 for a few weeks.

This is a good idea. When Japanesse people walk into a store and see the very American looking Xbox 360 sitting on a shelf, it's very hard to see them being particularly enthusiastic about it. However, a Japanesse person walks into a store and see's a very Japanesse looking Xbox 360, and suddenly you see alot more enthusiasm. At the very least it will raise awareness of the fact that the Xbox 360 supports the JRPG genre. Way to point out the obvious, I know, but hey, sometimes the simple ideas are the best ones.

microsoft cares more about japan than sonymephisto_11
Sony have FF, thats going to be the game to put them back into swing there. All attention for the console has died, it sold well in the first year, but now its so bad its selling worse than GC

Its sad MS try so hard yet get so little back

The game went on to sell 80k there when the userbase was tiny. On top of that, the PS3 and Wii were launching with a string of high-profile games

[QUOTE="too_much_eslim"]I will introduce to a game called blue Dragon . It is the hisghest selling RPG there an dit sold teh most consoles I believe.Zhengi

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.

the point is that it is always possible.

Well, it's definitely possible, but I don't think it'll happen. Only way to find out is wait for the game to release and see the sales afterwards. That's what I like about sales. They are concrete facts and not opinions :)

As far as I'm concerned... the 360 has officially cracked Japan.

Well, it can always fall back in sales... but it's been outselling the PS3 the last few weeks and even for the entire month of September I think. So that's a "crack" in the armor of Japan. If they can keep pushing that crack might just burst open completely.

But then again, Sony can come out swinging with RPGs and slim models and Japanese advertising and knock the 360 back down... but who knows.

Sounds like trouble for the PS3 there in Japan.
