Tecmo Disses X-Box!

It\'s funny how a quote is reported to be taken out of context yet in order to clear the matter up no actual quote of the context is provided, only a quote from a PR rep, aka spin doctor.  Right, now everything is clear



as mud


No big deal either way.

Nakamura is a clever man. Hes simply stating that gamers prefer PS2 in Japan. Well of course they do, the X-Box is forign, ala Atari, 3DO, Jaguar etc.

Im sure that in some way Nakamura did mean that Temco will concentrate more on the PS2 but when he seen his quote spread like wildfire he probably got his PR man to straighten things out so theres no risk of ruining relations with Microsoft.

Temco ain\'t a massive company compared to say Capcom and im sure that they will want to develop for all consoles. I recorn we will see DOA3 in some form and that Temco will probably concentrate more on the PS2.

Anyway I want Tekken 4.

Unless MS made Tecmo a 2nd party -- which they didn\'t--you can count on DOA3 being ported over. It does not make logical buisness sense for them to make a game exclusive forever, therefor cutting alot of sales. If they release it on the PS2 they are gurantee\'d a  potenial certain user base of PS2 owners and out of that user base, they can guess how many will buy DOA3 based of DOA2:HC sales--which I imagine was fairly high (for some unknown reason).

Right now, DOA3 is just a matter of \'temp exlcusive\'. Tecmo announces it for the Xbox--they release, then probably within 6 months a PS2 enhanced / identical version will appear.

That is just my opinion.


On another note; he didn\'t trash the Xbox. He simply stated fact. There is a gurantee\'d user base with the PS2. Where as MS is up in the air, because they haven\'t proven to the Japanese market. That is not a diss, it is fact. MS has not proven anything to the Japanese market yet.
