The Blue Dragon thread got me thinking about other 360 games that may have an impact on the 360 in Japan and I'd like to know your opinion/predictions of these games over there. I've been burning to find out your opinion on this. I would especially love to hear any Japanese 360's owners take on GOW in Japan.
Lost Planet is Capcom's answer to Halo. Comes out next week. Will it move any hardware? If yes how much?
Release date: Jan 18th. Gears of War. Probably more anti-Japanese than Halo and Resistance combined. Yet amazingly enough Resistance and Halo were some of the best selling games at launch for each respective platforms. Will it be doomed by its gore the same way Dead Rising was to be shoved behind shelves where no one can find it? How will the million-seller western juggernaut fair in Japan?
Release date: Jan 11th. Finally Viva Pinata. A bomb in the US. Bomb in Europe(at least so far). And yet I can't think of any other western game that would fool me better if you told me it was developed by a Japanese developer. Will it see some vindication in Japan? Will it be more appealing to them than it was in the west?
And finally what do you predict BD's sales will be for the current week? How many systems will it help move? Half of what the launch week did? Will it have some legs?
