That cause there were no fighters out for XBox at launch. Hell, how many fighters were there AFTER launch. PS2 had Tekken Tag. If DOA 3 came out with some actual competition, the numbers would substantially lower.

Yes, and people consider DOA a second tier franchise as well. That has something to do with it. However, since DOA is left to themselves on the Xbox, they are known as the premier fighter on the hardware. Microsoft promotes it like that.

Itagaki sold out to MS years ago. He's too proud to do anything for the PS3 - it will be something else.

What didn't you like about FF3? I haven't played 2 or 3 yet, only FF1 but FF3 looked so good from the early trailers and scans.

I have played 1 and 2 and love both of them for different stuffs. 3 feels too much of a compilation and I had stopped after playing halfway (and then use AR codes to unlock all the secrets).

I ain't seeing Itagaki babies being on PS3. Even his own graphics stance gets thrown out the window regarding PSP and DS. He seems to be adverse to Sony and Sony seems to response in kind with talk of the lack of dev kits for his team.

But is he a major share holder?

Who is that in your avatar? Any vids?

OH MY GOODNESS

It says Itagaki has ceased development on Xbox platforms and will focus exclusively on Playstation 3 games. Dead or Alive. Ninja Gaiden. Some other stuff I can't quite make out.

Spoiler

haha

That Rio De Carival game (gambling) and something called Shin Mogu Mogu Fuurinkazan... there's an explanation, but I'm too lazy/tired to read it right now, sorry. Something about Tecmo colaborating with NET. Fuurinkazan's an action game based on Takeda Shingen it seems...

 

[momolicious]

does Itagaki hate Sony? cuz from what i hear and read, hes like one of the only japanese dev that is very straight forward/outspoken

 

[littlewig]

does Itagaki hate Sony?

He likes Pokemon, what do you think?

 

[M3wThr33]

Basically it came down to whether he wanted people actually purchasing his games.
