Virtua Fighter 4.1 planned for Xbox:

>"Ignore, Limit...No. I doubt any developer wants thier game to be "ignored" or limited to a certain audience, but you can\'t please everybody. Square is the only company who I know of that can garner equal sales in both countries. "

Capcom

The Japan developers can hit 2 birds with one stone so why won\'t  Japan developers make games for the Xbox. Makes economical sense to me.

Right now, I say Nintendo is in the worst shape.  With their limited 3rd party support and their killer apps spaced so far inbetween...that\'s another debate entirely, but you see my point.

I think you\'re writing it off to soon...MS has almost as many 3rd party developers making games as Sony and MS has alot of exclusives from 1st and 2nd party developers we don\'t even know about yet (the number is around 80 to be released between now and next March just from 1st and 2nd party!).  

Out of these could be some killer apps people just can\'t do without...things could turn around.

And guess what, Capcom is making games for Xbox.  A few "exclusives" are being thrown in too...people will eventually notice.  Whether it\'s too late by then we\'ll have to wait and see...

But another point, Square and Capcom have been around a long time.  Anyone who is gamer anywhere knows who they are...did they start out like that...nope.  In fact, Square was fixing to go under until Final Fantasy came out.   They made that one little move and look what happened.  They are considered one of the big dogs in the industry now...

They were able to garner trust and show they know what games are about...could this happen with MS.  Maybe...

Yah, being that the system is only 6 days old has nothing to do with it... I mean what\'s MS\'s excuse?  PS2 had alot of quality 3rd party games in it\'s first week.  Don\'t you remember Ridge Racer X, and Fantavision...classics.  Oh, and then Devil May Cry a whole year later.  Sony had those games just lined up one after another...

WTF are you talking about?
The xbox sold like crap, has nothing coming out any time soon to sell systems.. how long will it last doing absoultely nothing there?

Look at this list

See anything the japaneese want?

Before you say that Capcom mech game...

The game comes with the controller,
and CANNOT BE PLAYED WITHOUT THE CONTROLLER

yep, and add that with the amazingly small xbox userbase and the amazing large price of the xbox and you have an amazingly large flop of a game

How long can a system only have a userbase of 125k-150k (in japan) before 3rd parties (especially japaneese ones who questioned it and were waiting to see how it would go) start dropping their plans?

The PS2 didn\'t have much for a long time.  It survived and thrived...

See anything the japaneese want?

That\'s only up through April...did you ignore my earlier post?  I\'ll say it again.  It\'s going to take time before some big games start to roll out.  The US market can carry Xbox for the time being, then when some noteworthy games come out for Xbox in Japan, then maybe they\'ll notice.

Damn  pstwo,I was planning to get the PS2 version...now I have to wait...

Hmm let me see
the Japanese launch
Playstation 2 = 1 million sales in well under 6 days
X box = a rather weak 100 thousand
FFS i thought the Gamecube launch as a bit rocky

anyway i am of to bed

someone wake me when something intresting happend in here :rolleyes: .


:rolleyes:

>"I guess we\'ll see won\'t we..."

I guess we will :hold:

>"FFS i thought the Gamecube launch as a bit rocky"

Yes it was, but the gamecube then had Super Smash brothers which sold severall systems.. I don\'t see a game on the xbox that will do that.. the majority of xbox games that sell systems are american oriented

Do you remember how long the GC was out before SSBM came out?  I think I remember 4 months...

Like I said, it takes a killer app or two.  I for one don\'t know all of MS\'s plans and I highly doubt you have the inside story either...

oh and ,ill say this slowly so i don\'t have to get a Newbie who can speak fluent MORON !

if any of you guys PM or Email on this, then ill hunt down and kill you like some kind of wild Dog.
