Level 5 just shot itself in the foot etc.
So people actually use "the Phil Spencer Effect" bullshit non ironically, lol.
It was kinda funny to see the DBFZ marketing with Xbox One, yet the Beta or whatever was on PS4 only, iirc ?
I know people like to argue that this kind of game has no audience on Xbox, but I don't buy that. People used to think that Japanese games had no place on the PC platform, but thanks to games like Dark Souls, Japan started to embrace the platform.
I don't game on Xbox, and I won't claim to know what the audience typically buys on the platform, but as someone who likes Japanese games, I want those games to hit as many platforms as possible to help them reach higher sales. More sales means they can keep making the kind of games I like.
I don't expect Ni No Kuni 2 to be released on Xbox One but I think Bandai Namco was mentioned in one of Phil's tweets.
Wait, people actually don't want it to be released on Xbox?

Yeah, just silly, isn't it?
That happens with every smaller or Japanese game for some reason. "Why are they bothering with Xbox" etc. like unless your a shareholder of that company who cares. Yet we have this every time. Console warsWait, people actually don't want it to be released on Xbox?
I doubt. At least not any close to the PS4 launch. It's pretty clear many of these games are money hatted by Sony to skip Xbox.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Ni No Kuni II for either system, nor will they purchase any of Level 5's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Level 5 has alienated an entire market with this move.
Level 5, publicly apologize and cancel Ni No Kuni II for the Xbone or you can kiss your business goodbye.
Always laughLevel 5 just shot themselves in the foot.

You ARE joking with this though, am I right? And Jesus man, calm down. It's very likely not even true, sadly not. He's definitely joking here.
Come on. This is dumb.

Yes.Ah. That is hilarious!
Was the original being serious?
But why, Sony? I mean, this is essentially money hatting? Where is the outrage? Ah, yes, RPG don't sell on Xbox so why even bother. But then again, why is there a deal with Sony?

We don't know the terms of the agreement so it would be foolish to be 'outraged'.
I doubt. At least not any close to the PS4 launch. It's pretty clear many of these games are money hatted by Sony to skip Xbox.
Well, Namco has been putting out a lot of Xbox One games lately, but it's also kind of odd that they wouldn't have announced it when the PC version was announced.

Dont need to moneyhat when these games don't sell on Xbox.
On their own perhaps not. But a developer usually let go of the right to chose the platforms after signing with a publisher....or Level 5 was burned by MS all the way back on OG Xbox and hasnt made a single game for their platforms as a result.
Same thing that is likely to happen with Platinum now
Except for all the games that launch and do sell, but they don't count for whatever reason.Dont need to moneyhat when these games don't sell on Xbox.
There are tons of evidence if you are not ignoring it."pretty clear"
*has no evidence*
We just had a release where gaf was sure it was going to bomb on Xbox and turned out to outsold pretty much every other indie niche title released on PS4, so excuse me if I don't believe when people say unreleased games wouldn't sell anyway.
we don't know most of the xbox agreements as well but that never stopped gaf from being outraged before
Did the same with Dead Rising 4 but no one cared.We know MS specifically paid for TR to be late to PS, as far as I know that's the only big outrage and it was deserved.
Then why the agreement?

Dead Rising 3, I agree. 4 was always gonna happen.Learn your shit before you infactually comment. DR4 wouldn't exist without Microsoft's involvement, and this was confirmed by Capcom themselves. Same thing with Case Zero and Case West. The franchise is practically dead.

Oh i didn't know we started believing xbox fanboys on reddit now i didn't get that memo, my apologies.
