Microsoft didn't start off on the wrong foot with the Xbox 360 in Japan. It started off with no legs. Few killer launch titles, meant fewer customers. Tim Rogers at game site Next Generation talks up the 360's future in the Land of the Rising Sun. And it's pretty bright.
The queue of "Japan-friendly" games soon to release is now quite formidable: Lost Planet, Dead Rising, Project Sylph, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Cry On (Mist Walker and cavia's positively brilliant-sounding action/adventure/RPG with Katamari / Shadow of the Colossus-esque elements), and the Gundam FPS by Dimps all look like spectacular games with texture and value. Trusty Bell, Namco and tri-Crescendo's RPG about the composer Chopin, will likely be very interesting as well, at the very least.
Home of both Sony and Nintendo, the country is not a lost cause and never was. These aren't games that will save the Xbox 360, but titles that will make the 360 in Japan.
