You know what would really convince a lot of people, if Namco Bandai confirmed it. Huh? How about that.Adrian_Cloud

i dont have anything against it going to 360 but your source is..sakabura coco biz? o__okirk4ever

Not surprising. If they want to sell copies in the west they have to go x360.

They may do what they did with Tales of Symphonia, make it for the 360. But make a PS3 one later only for Japan (to make up for the most likey poor 360 sales)

Sure it may force the Japanese gamers to buy a 360, and the Bucs may win the Super Bowl, but it probably would not happen. I love the 360 and the Bucs but I don't thinkt one game will save the 360 in Japan (it may help but not save).

I doubt even Pokemon could help 360 in japan.

*help = surpassing Ps3 sales, nothing unresonable like beating Wii or DS.

no it won't. the same thing was said about lost Odyssey and look what happened. i heard most companies are backing out of ms exclusive game. ms is supposely giving up japan. i don't have a link i seen it on g4 during the tgs this year. its stupid to make a japanese type game (rpg etc.) and sell it on the 360 in japan.

If Microsoft could land Star Ocean 4 as an exclusive it would sell alot of consoles in Japan. I doubt they're smart enough to though.BreakingPoint8

I'm sure an intellectual such as yourself, Jessie, would see that Microsoft is making deals with Namco Bandai and Square Enix for exclusives. Unless I've missed something, Namco Bandai and Square Enix didn't give much support to the original Xbox did they?

I keep hearing "Microsoft should just give up in Japan", but the fact remains that they're selling more in Japan than they ever have before, and they're also getting many more Japanese games compared to last generation. I think it's fear that even more Japanese exclusives will be made either multiplatform, or become an Xbox 360 exclusive, that would explain where this "They need to stop trying in Japan!!!!" mentality is coming from.

do you really think people would buy a system that dead in their country just for one game. when i say dead i mean dead. more than likely this will be on another system. i don't know many people who go this far for one game.

Holy ****. Thats alot of "Tales of" games.

The last Tales game I played was Tales of Destiny on the PSX. Damn, that game was great Guess I got some catching up to do eh? :)

Ill probably pick up Vesperia on the 360 when it comes out.

Jessie your constructive non-biased arguments continue to impress me.

They wouldn't buy it for one game, they would buy it for all the other games that are available on the platform. Also the Xbox 360 isn't dead in Japan, if it was it wouldn't be selling 5,000 a week on average. It's not only passed the original life time hardware sales of the Xbox, but it's also surpassed the total software sales.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe Japanese developers want to target a western audience? Like oh I don't know, Square Enix who came out and said they want to increase their profits in North America and Europe. They want 75% of their revenue to come from the West by 2009 I believe.

wow 5,000-8,000 a week average is a lot. after the holdays you'll see 2500 each week. like i said earlier most developers are not making exclusive games for the 360 as much. sure ms has a few game, but most are going to the ps3. Eternal Sonata going to ps3 next year. i wouldn't be surprised if ace combat goes to another platform also. LO wouldn't be surprised on that also.

Maybe if it was Final Fantasy.

i seem to know more than you because i know the 360 is dead in japan.. Wow i didn't know lo was exclusive to 360. big deal. i not going to lie and say the 360 doing great when its not if the ps3 was doing this bad in japan i would say it. i know that the japanese aren't buying the 360. even if a game went to the 360 the ps3 version will sell more. your saying my facts are opinions, look at a sales chart and figure it out.

I think Japan just hates MS to hate MS.

I don't think they know or care about it all.

They just don't care what it gets, it doesn't matter to them.

but in the real world, 360 is pretty much dead in japan.

why are you still going?

A tales game exclusive to 360 makes no sense it must be multi-platform how are they going to sell it in japanEPaul

timed excusive maybe? unless this ends up like ace combat 6

i think itsgonna be multi plat, That way they could target its audience over there and the audience in the west..... It wouldn't really make that much sense to release it for only the 360 , with both consolesnot doing so good in certain regions. Another reason is the fanbase, this could get a couple people to look at the PS3 and if it was an exclusive for it then def.

Face it, most people bought a PS3 for RPGs and action games in the long run

And this Star Ocean 4 stuff needs to stop... Why do 360 owners want PS3 games so much :roll:

if it does go multi plat then good, but I see it staying with the PS3, only because the PS3 needs some games also and the fanbase

and LO looks really boring and dull

here are some pics:

hell..i just found the trailer

http://www.joystiq.com/2007/12/26/the-tales-of-vesperia-trailer-destination-console-unknown/

Eh? Namco hasn't announced where Vesperia is going. Most likely going to be multiplat. The only hint to exclusivity are some metatags on their site. If its exclusive to 360, a console where JRPGs are shunned, then I hope Namco is getting plenty of money from MS from the deal. That, and/or they're confident Tales of Innocence and Symphonia 2 will do well enough to the point it doesn't affect their revenue much.kiruyama

but considering the devs have yet to mention a platform the game will be on ..im guessing its both the 360/ps3

I'd rather have it on the PS3...but hey, who can complain I'll play it no matter what.TheSystemLord1

im just glad its heading to the 360...i've been wishing for this to happen for some time now.

Im pretty sure ToS was never ever for the Xbox or 360. ToS2 is Wii exclusive....like Vesperia SHOULD be. You don't need graphics to make this game great.

I was talking about ToS on thg Gamecube, it came out for the PS2 in Japan. I was saying they will bring Vesperia to the 360 worldwide, but bring it to the PS3 in Japan.

EDIT: I know ToS was not on the X-box or 360, I loved it on the Gamecube, kept me from selling my Gamecube.
