With the recent announcement that Japan’s top selling Xbox 360 title Star Ocean 4 is set to get a “complete” release on the reinvigorated PS3, observers can’t help but notice something very disturbing about the top 5 Japanese Xbox 360 titles…
The titles, their sales to date, and their release dates:
1. Star Ocean 4 (208,521 – 09/02/19) > PS3 Complete Edition
2. Blue Dragon (203,740 – 06/12/07) > DS Sequels
3. Tales of Vesperia (194,714 – 08/08/07) > PS3 Complete Edition
4. Last Remnant (154,493 – 08/11/20) > PC Complete Edition
5. Biohazard 5 (121,515 – 09/03/05) > Multiplatform
6. Ace Combat 6 (115,899 – 08/11/06)
7. Infinite Undiscovery (113,195 – 08/09/11)
8. Beautiful Katamari Damashi (112,803 – 08/11/06)
9. Lost Odyssey (109,517 – 07/12/06)
10. Dead or Alive 4 (108,618 – 05/12/29)
One of the most famous (or possibly notorious) Japanese Xbox 360 titles, IdolMaster, only managed 50,000 copies for each version, so how long Microsoft will be willing to pay to keep these exclusive is open to question.
With Japanese developers apparently using the system as little more than a source of development subsidies, it seems Microsoft’s largesse may have backfired…

But hasn’t Sony always release their game systems at a higher price then there compition?
Let’s compare prices for their new platform consoles:
Ps 4: last I checked…$700 – $1,000 US
Xbox 1: $300-$500…I think
Wii 2: $ 20o I think
I maybe wrong on the prices though

Incredible! I have already been seeking bing for hours for this and i ultimately thought it was here!
the 360 and PS3 are both great in their own way but if you like games and like games to look good and play well use the 360, anyone who can get access to both should look at games that are avalible on both machines. I dont care what machine is ore powerful and makes the least noise Im only intrested in which gives me a petter playing experience. The only thing that drives me mad is why the Fu*k microsoft can even sell a machine as unreliable as the 360!! Its a crime.
Nevermind the fact that the DS version(s) of Blue Dragon are next to nothing compared to the original (sucky, as all JRPGs) game, and that Biohazard 5 is superior on the 360.
And actual, real gamers are still bound to buying the 360 in order to play actual, real games (not that those are very popular, mind you): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG0pyFWlqxw&fmt=22
