Maybe the tiny forte, the big one was already taken by the DS/Wii from 2005. What Microsoft's strong pursuing of Japan will ultimately do is perpetuate both system's irrelevance there, it's not significant for either company, it is however very rich for Nintendo as they split demand for certain key games of the past, which were declining to begin with.

Sony is doomed!
Nice knowing you Sony.
Hopefully it's just another RPG announcement and not something really interesting.

I would really love to see Secret of Evermore released to the Xbox Live Arcade. And a new Chrono game. But since this isn't what I want, I will be satisfied with whatever the keynote has in store.
EDIT- Anyone remember the EGM rumor that had Square making Front Mission 5 for the 360? Maybe it comes true tomorrow?

probably releasing Ps1 FF on XBLA with special size limit removed for SE
I love how Square Enix are on this pedestal despite what they have produced these passed few years on consoles... Square Enix think they are above everyone else but they really aren't. The 360 Japan boost is only made look better and more important than it really is because it shows just how much the PS3 is sucking.
Seriously, aside from FF and DQ Japan aren't swallowing up the JRPG's either. They are a niche market and seem to have more importance among internet gamers than the general gaming public based on sales.
People really need to get off the hyperbole. I love JRPG's as much as the next guy but lets not pretend they are something they are not and that if Sony secured these games like MS are that they would selling gangbusters because they wouldn't be. They would be sucking slightly less but sucking all the same.

I hope there are any new japanese titles (rpgs) for the 360. Microsoft should try to keep the momentum.

As long as it's not FF13 exclusivity in NA or a new/remade FF title for 360, I can live with whatever it is.

Sucking slightly less in Japan... sucking slightly more in North America. Sadly we'll need a simultaneous release of a JRPG on the X360/PS3 to prove my point, but we might be waiting until the arrival of FF13 itself to prove my theory.Lightning said:
(Hint: It won't be selling 1:1 in North America between X360/PS3.)
It will sell more on the Xbox. And it won't be because it's been "Americanized" or some other such nonsense. The main reasons will actually be entry price and install base. Although it WILL sell to a greater percentage of Sony owners than X360 owners, so there's a carrot for you. Of course, you can say that about MOST games these days. That's hardly a win.

A fanatic's morale has to be low when even the 360 outsells the PS3 in Japan.

I like this one! Square Enix renamed MGS Japan. "Square Enix" becomes a brand to sell games. DS titles would still come out in plentiful supply with this move (to help crush Sony on the portable front). The classics that won't get remade for DS get thrown onto XBLA with Achievements, extras and hi-res touchup. Starting with ports of FF1 & FF2 PSP. :lolxblarcade said:

Front Mission 5 already came out in Japan for PS2 a few years ago
they just never released it anywhere else
which still upsets me because I really want that game
Hmm... That happened last year... what's currently happening in Japan means absolutely nothing to me because as I said, the sales are still FAR too low to be relevant. We are talking about a pissing contest of "My 6% is bigger than your 5% hahaha" while ignoring the other 89% that is giving both the middle finger.Vast Inspiration said:
Both MS and Sony have lost in every region, end of story. You look at the PAL or Japan charts and tell me how the hell either Sony or MS can possibly be gloating about anything. One disaster of epic proportions.
The only thing MS/Sony have going for them is that 3rd parties are still giving the Wii the finger. Nothing else to be happy about. Not making money and getting your ass handed to you in sales but still releasing PR basically saying "HAHA our 6% is better than *insert other failure here* 5%"
Incredibly pointless.
This is what I am thinking because this seems realistic. Even talking about KH3 or FFVII at this point is silly, Square have no one available and by the time they do they will be pushing their asses off to have either completed by 2012...h3ro said:
It really doesn't seem like much. Sakaguchi says they're stressing getting as many ppl to try out 360 games (they have 140 units set up), and are apparently using their neighbors at Square-Enix to encourage checking the MS booth out.
マイクロソフトとスクウェア・エニックスさんの両ブースでゲームをプレイしていただいた方には抽選のチャンスがあり、そこで当選した方がスクウェア・エニックスのブースに行くと 。あとは当日までのお楽しみということで（笑）
People who try out a game at both the MS and SE booth are entered into a lottery. Those that win will go to SE booth and.... The surprise will revealed on the day they go.

As big as FFVII on 360 would be, I don't think it'd be a bigger deal then FFXIII going on 360.

This would be the greatest thing ever for two reasons:TheGreatDave said:
1. Would shut all the retarded fanboys clamoring for a remake up.
2. The suicides and meltdowns would EPIC (ly hilarious)!

People should support Microsofts single handed quest at keeping the JPRG genre alive, do you think Sony with their change in emphasis of focusing on first parties and not subsidising games would be helping funding these games if MS were not?

FFVII for 360 would make me lol. I want to see single-console owner GAF cry.
