MGR: Revengeance Xbox 360 canceled in Japan, on schedule for West

Just thought I'd chime in and be the 250th person to say that the Xbox doesn't sell in Japan.  Redundant comments are redundant.

You know it must suck to be Japanese. After BOTH earthquakes and now no MGS R on xbox... brings a tear to my eye.

nice try sony but i wont buy another crappy machine from you. i bought 2 ps1 and 3 ps2, the third just to play snake eater. your hardware is junk, i remember my big tv and my ps2 dying the same week. i dont talk about the qualities of the system but when you sell a rig 300+ usd, dont be so cheap on components. my 360 have 5 years and still run like a charm.

end of transmission.

even the PC version (if there are even plans to release it)will get cancelled in Japan.

Scrrew Japan,what about the rest of Asia is it cancelled here as well?

various reasons as dictated by Sony

Hahaha, "Revengeance"...

it is a joke, right?

not surprising considering the 360's never been a hit in japan, glad that theyre sticking to the western versions.

considering that there are weeks that the PS2 outsells the xbox360 it's not surprising at all  

HA!

that figures... almost no one has an xbox in japan.

Who can blame 'em?

Nintendo and Playstation  are a national pride over there. They dont really like MS :)

there is a reason xbox doesnt sell as good as ps3 in japan, the japanese know good tech! while the original xbox was more advanced than the ps2, the ps3 is way better than xbox 360 :P    (cant wait to hear you fanboys cry) :P

damn, sony must have pulled a number on them when they released the ps3

sad :(

Yeah , Because this game will get bundled with the correct console .

I actually kinda saw this one coming. People get DEATH THREATS in Japan for owning a 360.. Shame. Being off topic for the moment, the Japanese cast for Inside Xbox from the last few vids I've seen are always pretty energetic when it comes to 360 stuff. Kinda sad.

I can see why they won't release the 360 version there. Considering the PS3 reigns supreme in Japan, should the 360 version have been released in a local gaming store, it would have quite literally sold maybe 1-5 copies, while being the ONLY copies there as well! As opposed to the 50 PS3 copies..

Wow, just shows 360 is basically dead in Japan :\

Microsoft should just kill off the japanese market all together. They cost more than they're worth. The 360 is meant more for western markets, there aren't enough retarded games for the japanese to be interested.

Not surprising. 

Yet another game cancelled for release on the Xbox 360 in Japan. This is really unfair for those Japanese Xbox 360 gamers.

LOL oh my gawd...

Well, there u have it. Xbox360 hardware is less than popular over there, so they figured why waste the time when it isn't gonna sell over there. Makes sense. I haven't been a really big fan of the MGS series, but I'll still check this one out.

hope they include japanese audio with eng subtitles to quell some of the cheesiness

Would've sold like 3 copies on 360 there. No point in wasting time on something that won't sell.

"The Xbox 360 has not been a best-seller in Japan."

Well, of course.  It's almost ludicrous to think that MS could advance beyond home-grown companies like nintendo and Sony.

Whoah.. I think this game looks fly as a mofo and hope there isn't anybody in Japan that's now missing out on playing Revengeance because of this.

hahahahahaha mcooch

"Various reasons"  Thanks for clearing that up bro. 

They probably don't think it's even worth it to localize or whatever ...but if it's coming out for the PS3 they already have that.  Perhaps it shows they have little faith in the game themselves where the licensing fees wont even be worth it.  Who knows but I think it's unfortunate.
