In Japan? I was pretty sure it sold less.
nah it sold more. I believe xbox sold 400k-500k and xbox 360 sold 1.6 million.

You guys realize japenese publishers want this, right?
They want their dev teams to be very familiar with the architecture, so they do not get left too far behind in western markets. The more prevalent the support system is for the Japanese market - the more MS puts boots on the ground there - the easier it is for their devs to get feedback and development resources. If they are launching in the regional market, then MS allocates budget to the region, than pubs can co-lab with MS for marketing support, dev support, co-publishing, etc. It's a big business, and being in that region has as much B2B implications as it does B2C.
To echo someone above, there is always a market.
You just need to know how to find it.
Why anyone wouldn't want this is kind of baffling to me, especially if they want more Japanese support in the West.
Where do you think games like Lost Odyssey, Dead Rising 3, etc, come from?
Problem is, is those games that you listed are exclusive to Xbox consoles. That's what we don't want.

Some people really don't like the thought of exclusives coming out on platforms they never planned on buying.
Too bad,that's how it always is anyways.

Why don't we want them? Those games wouldn't have existed unless MS funded their development.
so you rather have the games not come out at all?

they'll be lucky to sell one million lifetime.
OMG, Level 5?
Hopefully it's proper support this time.
I wouldn't take those publisher/developer lists as a notice that they're actively developing games for Xbox One.
No:
Xbox - 472,992
Xbox 360 - 1,612,391
Who's "we"?

That's pretty good then. If this trend continues the Xbox One could be sitting at around 5 million there.
Probably most level headed people. 3rd party exclusives on either side are annoying as far as I'm concerned.

I notice you don't have a gamertag in your profile.
Doesn't seem very level to me...

Lost Odyssey was first party and DR3 was funded by Microsoft. I don't consider those third party exclusives.

meppi said:It's going to be a depressing generation if all of them choose the Xbone over the PS4 just because that's where everyone went last gen. :-/

whose 'we'?
The majority of consumers would rather have content, then not have content.
And publishers would rather make money, than not make money.

Did you notice I said either side? Of course you didn't. I even think 'exclusive content' for games is stupid, all that useless crap for games like Watch_Dogs, Assassin's Creed on Playstation platforms is a waste of time.
I need some Lost Odyssey 2 in my life
never going to happen
MS probably doesn't believe its going to sell well, but they have to try just in case.
The Japanese studios that get involved in those deals are asking for trouble.
Total exclusivity is just not beneficial in the long run for third party studios, they miss the opportunity of popularizing their own franchises at a time people are more receptive to new IPs. Restricting your game to Xbox in Japan is a poor strategy.
3rd party exclusives can be good for games we wouldn't have gotten without it. See Ryse, Fatal Frame,DR3, Bayonetta and maybe TF.
hmm..Cave and Moss..looks like Xbox is gonna be the place to get your shmups again.
Everybody has a choice, it's just lots of people choose to take sides in the first place.

Please read my other post that I made earlier to see what I meant & why I don't want most Japanese games being exclusive to Xbox One:

Hey if Japan don't won't them games I'll take them! MS gave me my fav JRPG last gen.
