remember when xbox tried to appeal to the japanese audience?
yeah, and it was great but sony was better
There were a good number of japanese people on harmony of despair and phantasy star universe back in the day which was always surprising to me because I figured they didn't really give a shit about xbox at all.
>>738365876Not really. The only thing I can think of is DOA.
>>738365876Japan was too busy deepthroating SNOY, look where that got them. They were abandoned for california and DEI flops.
>>738365876Back when they sequestered Tales o Vesperia on their shitty console? yeah, I remember.
People are retarded if they think these couple titles is all it led to. They courted so many devs/publishers, finally got JRPGs on their system, and even a number of great exclusives. (Many of which are no longer exclusive, but many actually are). Stopping their push in Japan was the most retarded thing they could do. Obviously, foreigners weren't really playing the visual novels and stuff (because they were never localized, but the entire world loves Japanese games.
>>738365876Xbox was the reason why idolmaster as a franchise exists.
>>738367192They probably would have just put it on PS3 if Xbox wasn't a thing. They pretty quickly switched to doing that anyway. Once Microsoft stopped paying for exclusives they went multiplat, and then a short time later they went Playstation exclusive instead.
>>738367389It wouldnt have been successful on the PS3, being on the otaku console in japan and being one of the few releases allowed them to directly connect with the otaku audience.
>>738365876The 360 only kinda worked since it was created a devoted niche of being a doujin game machine, along with Idolmaster and some good JRPGsA shame MS shot themselves in the foot the literal next change they got
>>738365876the game that stopped the Berserk manga from ever being finished what a masterpiece
>>738367574Miura died fapping to lolis while giving the finger to his fans, pretty based ngl.
