Namco announces release plans, ignores the Xbox

The Japanese game developer has announced its publishing plans for next year, and Microsoft\'s Xbox did not make the list.

In a Bloomberg Japan article, Namco announced that it plans to ship up to 10 million copies from its console game software lineup next fiscal year. The company plans to ship 7.6 million copies for new titles and 2 million copies of currently released titles. Some of Namco\'s games in development include Tekken 4, Ace Combat, Mr. Driller, and Pac-Man. There is a total of 11 or 12 PlayStation 2 games scheduled for release, one title for the PlayStation, five or six titles for the Game Boy Advance.
One of the most anticipated Namco titles comes from its subsidiary Monolith Soft, which employs more than 60 former Square employees. The company is also in preparation for the development of software for the Nintendo GameCube. In addition, the company intends to collaborate with Sega to develop titles in the future.

Most importantly, the Bloomberg report indicates that the company is currently not developing titles for the Xbox. A Namco spokesman said, "We don\'t see much uniqueness in the hardware compared to the current console, it will probably succeed in the US, but we would like to see how it picks up in the Japanese market."

12 NAMCO games that will NEVER be on xbox.....and NAMCO also shares KONAMI opinion that xbox brings NOTHING new...

This is not a bash...it\'s good NAMCO will keep most of their games exclusive to Sony\'s sleek black box and Nintendo\'s new little cube....

:D

. I\'ve said it before and I\'ll say it again, in terms of ingenuity, exclusivity, and console competition, X-Box brings nothing to the table except a fat wad of cash and some rehashed PC components wrapped with a DC controller and a plastic black box.----RYU

ask me if I care.

Ask how many rehas... I mean future games I am exited about from them.

They are the ultimate copycats now.

Sega makes a Semi game, Namco makes one.

Konami makes a sniping game, Namco makes one.

Sega makes a 3D fighter, Namco makes one

Sega makes a horror shooter, Namco makes one

They are quite original.

LOL...whatever.

NAMCO pretty much said "F*CK you xbox"...This comany has lots of respect in the japanese market as well as the whole world...They will not degrade their image by going around and support an american console that no japanese gamer will like

well done NAMCO.

My Nplayer impression: \'Blah blah blah. I have no friends...\'

Dead on, I know, don\'t be scared, it was just an impression... :D
