# aint gonna happenGuest 2007-03-06 12:53
mistwalker works for microsoft, you won't see any of these on the ps3. this is one of the few reasons they've sold a couple of 360's in japan to begin with.

# 3 MORE BIG TITLES, good time to have a 360Guest 2007-03-06 14:08
Hmm both comments above from PS3 owners? sad, anyway good to see MS are starting the push in Japan all Three of these games are huge, Blue Dragon sold 360s in Japan and now more similar titles are coming should be an interesting time ahead there.



BUT this is not just about Japan its also about a rather

larger market called the USA and Europe where these games are going to be BIG.

there are enough 360s being sold there. The wii and the ps3 are not effecting the steady growing pace of the ps3...however the wii is effecting the "mighty" ps3
