To me Capcom is the best developer out there next to Nintendo, so they can put a game on any console and it will sell. I think it is because the 360's poor sales in Japan, because they know Japanese style games wont sell as well in the US and you know they wont sell great in Japan.

It's coming. Microsoft had to prove they could market and sell a platform that would make an impact around a lot of markets before the big Japanese developers would catch on...

Sega has had success but on the flipside Dead to Rights didn't work out that well for Namco...

The problem was the original Xbox sold so poorly in Japan that developers couldn't be bothered to spend the money just to port a game to the Xbox. Now that Capcom has shown that a japanese developer can have major success on the 360 and Blue Dragon/Lost Odessey plus the Capcom games have garnered enough interest to increase the sales of 360's in Japan more Japanese developers are beginning to see the 360 as profitable.

Team Ninja and Tecmo have made lots of money being Xbox exclusive...for a while at least, it looks like Tecmo is going to give Sony a little bit of love.

They're doing it because Xbox360 is a platform with a fan base that will make any mediocre generic preferably online shooter a million plus seller.

I didn't know that Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey were being made by Capcom. Oh wait they aren't. It tells you something when the two biggest Japanese games aren't being made by Capcom.

Yeah I know, although I was surprised by the sales, I tought it would sell more, but none the less compared to"normal" 360 sales, it did damn good.

Lost planet.......

Dead Rising.......

What do they have in common......?

they made a **** ton of money on the Xbox 360 for capcom and MS.

What is wrong with these other JP game companies?

they hate Money?
EditEdit

Certainly they do not like money, that is a given, but their share holders do, so expect to see more on 360

BTW it is NOT only capcom, Square makes two 360 games, the space shooter crap and the MMORPG crap, Eternal Sonata is made for 360, not PS3, from software released Enchanted Arms on 360 etc

If you look at a recent article form 1up.com capcom management actually did not even want to develop the games for 360. So 360 onwers lucked out when the developer of the game pushed for these games to be released on the platform.

Japanese support between the PS3 and 360 is quite even. Just thats SW is full of idiot fanboys too ignorant to look past the conditions of PS2 and Xbox.

How is capcom the only japanese company working on xbox360 games??Isn't sega bringing everything on the 360(even VF along with VT,sega rally and more).Isn't tecmo bringning Team ninja's games exclusively on the xbox360??Isn't from software bringing everything on the 360(even AC4)??Hasn't Namco allready brought the RR franchise on the 360 and announced a high profile  RPG for it(eternal sonata) plus there are rumors for many announcements from them in the comming months??Isn't Koei supporting the xbox360 also with almost all of is games(no matter how **** they may be)??

The only companies that i can think of that are not supporting the xbox360 at their full are squarenix(and it's never going to happen) and Konami(they will bring most of their franchises on the 360 in the end).

360 is more of an American console, and Capcom knows how to make an American casual game. Just look at Dead Rising, they scored well on that one.

In terms of what JPN games will sell more in JPN yeah BD and LO are the biggest but the biggest JPN games being developed by JPN on 360 are NG2 and RE5.

Besides Mistwalker and Tecmo/Team Ninja, yeah, that's about it. But developers are beginning to warm up to the system and gradually giving it more and more support.

You know - having exclusive Capcom support hasn't proven to be a good thing in recent years... ...Dreamcast had it. ...GCN had it. ...360 has it? :P ;)

Tecmo/Team Ninja Namco-Bandai is doing Eternal Sonata Sega is doing VF5 and Sonic and stuff like that Konami did the terrible Rumble Roses, but odds are they'll support it more down the line, my guess would be a multiplat next-gen silent hill Square is making a new MMO and a godawful space shooter So those are some big publishers

The answer is simple.  Capcom is the only Japanese developer that has vision and isn't biased.  Unlike the gamers in Japan and the other development houses over there.
