Sales wise it isnt as important as it used to be since the UK has overtaken it as the 2nd biggest market. In less than ten years the UK market has become bigger than the Japanese market.

Software wise, with the success of the Wii and handhelds, in my opinion Japan has concentrated too much on those markets and has been pla...
Funny how Jamie Foxxx is never surprised or against all the "ant-natal" articles we get, on the contrary,I bet he's actually active up in there but calls a conspiracy anything that does not say that 3D will take over the world.
Maybe you're part of the "anti-natal" conspiracy ?
I mean if there are any critics or doubts whatsoever it must be conspiracy!
MS releases new console 4 years after XBOX: "oh my god they are evil!! only 4 years later ??!! At least Sony supports their consoles longer blah blah blah", "Oh Sony is so good!! I love you Sony for supporting my console"
MS does not want to release a new xbox anytime soon: "oh my god f*ca MS!!!" "They are going to sink!!!" "What a bunch of assholes", "I cant believe they want to support the 360 longer"
How ...
I think Need for Speed should be up there too.
That wasnt funny, because RROD jokes are really stale now.
But yeah, Im gonna be on fiiire when ME2 launches :)
For people who are so confident that they are going to "own" 2010, I do found the Sony camp very nervous.
Why the need to come preach in every 360 thread in such great numbers. I dont see many 360 fans up in here. Only Sony diehards trying to convince each other.
Oh well whatever.
off topic: Mass Effect 2, January 26 :D. And that's just the beginning of the goodness :)
Why ?
Tell me whats the latest conspiracy theory ?
Its pretty funny to see how the Sony diehards on top REFUSE to even conceive that next year the 360 could have a better lineup. The energy you put in trying to say is false is crazy.
OFFICIALLY announced for 2010 (exclusives):
PS3 = MAG, Heavy Rain, GOW3, GT5, Last Guardian, Modnation Racer (sorry if I forgot anything)
360 = ME2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Alan Wake, Crackdown 2, Halo Reach and Fable 3.
So now what makes the PS3 lineup so muc...
If Natal is as big as what MS is making it out to be well 2010 will be the year $ony officialy says goodbye to the idea of ever catching up with the 360.
As for the games, we already know the 360 is going to have a huge year (and thats without Natal), now add the unannounced projects like they did this year with Forza 3 and L4D2 and you can be sure the 360 is going to have its best year yet.
Does that mean "domination". Not so sure, The day the 360 outsells...
Lol @Saaking. Oh well I think Blaze nailed it for me.
Saaking: It was a great move from MS to get all those former PS exclusives multiplat otherwise the xbox 360 would be long gone already.
MrJackofAllTrades: Lol, only a sony fanboy's mind can believe that 50 million was for DLC only. A person with IQ score of 2 would understand by himself that it included GTA, one of the biggest games in history, to go multiplat on day one.
Very good moves from MS so long. Sony would have killed off the 360 a long time ago if they paid...
Sony are used to hyping their games a long time in advance so they're probably off schedule with their motion wand. It's supposed to be coming out at spring and still nothing...? Doesnt smell too good.
Yeah...that's really hard to do when you've sold 120 million consoles the previous gen and completely crushed any form of competition...
Oh so thats why it's exclusive. Sony must have dropped some Heavy cash for Heavy Rain.
At least this time it might be worth it unlike the money they dropped for Haze.
"@Obama: No, FF fans are waiting for FF games. A sad fanboy waits for his exclusives."
That is so true! Bubbles!
Almost nobody used to talk much about Versus when FF13 was exclusive. It was all about FF13. The day it went multiplat all of a sudden there was a whole lot of "bah I never cared about FF13, Versus is way better", "FF13 is too girly" FF8 and especially FF10 were a whole lot girlier or "true fans are waiting for Versus&quo...
If Lost Odyssey is everything FF13 IS NOT then how can this be the 360's fault ?
Anyways, I'll patiently wait till March to make my own opinion on the game. Not that I'm worried that is wont be stellar :)
Did everyone throw away there PS2 or what ?
I still have mine ^^
I'll just wait and see! Guess we'll know at E3!
Who cares about sales ?
Well Capcom, SE, Namco etc care enough about the sales boom in the West to make all their games multiplat and even try to make traditional japanese games such as Final Fantasy more "western-friendly".
The "decline" of japanese development this gen is also due to the fact that the majority of revenue is in the West for next gen gaming.
