I wonder if they're going to pimp the Mistwalker stuff at X06 too...
I'm hoping for confirmation both are coming to the US. I just hope they at least talk about them. I'd like X06 to go like this:
1) Hardware stuff (HD-DVD,, 1080p, etc) Big news: Holiday bundle
2) XBox Live: stats, blah blah. Some new titles, including that "new franchise"
3) Holiday: Dates for Viva Pinata, Crackdown, Fuzion Frenzy 2, etc.
4) 2007 preview: Forza 2 release date, the Mistwalker RPGs, Bioshock, RE5, Lost Planet, etc. End with another sneak peek at Halo 3. Which hits Live an hour before they show it, of course.

But the Japanese don't care about X06. The time to sell them on the system is now. MS has the games! They are just hiding them from the public while the public gets hyped on PS3 & Wii. Basically from an outside perspective it appears like MS is playing project Sabatoge themselves and trying to completely erase the X360's existence from Japan.
This was it, TGS was their last chance in Japan for a turn-around. By blowing this they're never going to have a chance to recover and I wouldn't be surprised if a result of this is 90% of Japanese development support dropped by the end of next year.
Oh, I agree there. I think Japan is an utter lost cause for the 360, though Microsoft sure isn't doing themselves any favors on the execution and marketing fronts.
