PGR3 arcade cabinet’s setup at a recent F1 Grand Prix in Japan, impressed the Japanese gamers fortunate enough to test-drive the setup.

A playable demonstration was setup at a recent F1 event in Japan, and Japanese car-lovers and gamers alike took part to “test drive” the new game, waiting hours to witness Microsoft’s Xbox 360 title first hand. The results couldn’t be better for Microsoft as gamers were awed by the photorealistic graphics, and detailed environment of their own Shinjyuku in downtown Japan.

The arcade cabinets complete with pedals, steering wheels, and bucket seat, might’ve given gamers a little biased opinion, but they were still impressed either way. This can only be good news for Microsoft who is hoping to boost its gaming profile in Japan who typically shy away from the American-made console. This supports already rising Japanese interest due to Rare’s launch title; Kameo: Elements of Power, which goes with the Japanese interest in Role-Playing games. With these two titles, and Microsoft trying to get hype surrounded into Perfect Dark Zero in Japan, Xbox 360 seems ready to have a stronger foot in the door this generation.


I didn't see it posted previously
 
Kameo
NNN
PGR3
Ridge Racer 6
DOA4
FFXI (beta?)

all should do nicely in Japan for 360's launch and help the gaijun console off to a good start.

Why? Japanese Xbox 360 owners' heating bills will drop significantly once they replace their furnaces with the 360 power supply.

Hold up, hold up, what does this wheel look like? And more importantly, will it be available to buy?
