Can the 360 ever do good in japan
zoobot \| 9:53 AM on 09.21.2007	6 comments

The xbox was big and ugly and unless you like fps or mech games then you were s.o.l and that why it bomb in Japn and Europe and finish last in the last gen.Then comes the 360 with a new look and better library of games you would think it would do better. Well yes it seems that Europe has warmed up to the 360 but Japan still not a big fan of master chief.Even with a cheaper price point(then the us) and games like blue dragon and eternal sonata It seem japan just doesn't want the 360. Now coming
up on the third holiday season for the 360 I think it time for M$ to ask is it worth it to stay in japan. They just got a big deal with square enix which I think is microsoft only real hope in japan
and they do have ninja gaiden 2 but still I see it being very hard for the 360 to do anything in japan

I think the main issue with the 360 in Japan right now is that the system is utterly dominated by shooters, which as far as I know aren't super popular in Japan. BD and ES are a good start, but I think MS needs some exceptional RPGs by big Japanese companies to show up on the console, as well as more of those wacky games the Japanese love. As long as it remains a shooter orgy, the Japanese won't be too interested.

Of course it can.

@ Aerox

I second that statement!

They could paint it black and call it the BS360.

They just need Final Fantasy.
