Enterbrain Prez: MGS4 and FFXIII could save Xbox 360 in Japan |
Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: Enterbrain, Hirokazu Hamamura, playstation 3 updates
Ó
NetMunch News reports that the president of Enterbrain the publisher of the famous Famitsu Magazine, Hirokazu Hamamura has stated that he believes that the Xbox 360 could be a huge success in Japan if Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII were made for the Xbox 360.NetMunch claims that Hamamura believes that the two mentioned titles - if made for the Xbox 360 - could save the console in the Japan region and even help it be as popular as it is in North America.
NetMunch even goes as far as to claim that "Sony is losing support from its own nation."
Oddly though (and contrary to NetMunch's assertions), the report at GameFront.de of Hirokazu Hamamura's lecture in Tokyo seemed to focus more on how to help the Xbox 360 in Japan, instead of a declaration of support for the Xbox 360 over the Sony PS3. Naming ways to help save the Xbox 360 is far from declaring withdrawal of support for the PS3.
Not that Hamamura didn't have anything slightly negative to say about the PS3. In a later report over at GameFront.de the PS3 side of Hamamura's lecture was covered and again those two key titles were mentioned and labeled as crucial to Sony in it's effort to gain market shares.
Hamamura also notes that Cell chip manufacturing price reductions could help the console and it's world-wide situation. Hamamura notes that the situation isn't that good but it is far from hopeless.

and with all the talk about both games challenging the Cell and maximizing the processor... i'm not a techy person but all i know is that the XBox doesn't have the Cell Processor... i don't know how they could properly run any of those games on the XBox...

sony will not let them 2 games go 2 the 360 for 2 reasons
1 they r console selling games and thats wot sony needs
2 microsoft will sell a lot more 360's in jap, over take ps3 and ps3 will die.
so i hope they stay ps3 exclusive

but still anything can happen... but i ain't betting on it... and as i was saying in my post above...
"i not really sure how the development of MGS and FF are going right now but by all the articles i'm reading it seems like it's going to be hard making it fit into something which isn't Blu Ray when the games are finished...

Hideo specifically said that MGS4 is built around the Cell processor and no other machine has the hardware he wants and needs for the game.
He compared the PS3, 360 and wii as: PS3 - Movie theatre - Xbox 360: DVD Player and Wii, TV Channels.
Hideo says what he says... so too bad for non-ps owners.
As for Final Fantasy .. Sony won't lose it's exclusivity. That's one franchise that no1 else can have... but who knows
And really... japanese people would buy a PS3 over the 360 to play that anyway...

The bottom line is that any true gamer will own every console and get the best of all worlds. Long live gaming, ***** consoling!

2. It's a Cell processor. Key word being cell. A core owns a cell in every way possible. 3 CPUs, or 3 cores, can nearly do anything 8 cells can do.

maybe 480i graphics ONLY. if they try to match the 1080p 0r 720p ps3 version, the xbox360's cores should work triple hard. they an port those games to xbox 360 but again a lot will be sacrificed, details will be lost and i mean lots of details. overall display will be darker as usual, its as if they are deliberately making things dark on xbox 360 so that it can match the ps3's graphics without people noticing that they made a lot of textures black, its actually less textures hence less quality. people are really thinking the xbox 360 matches the ps3 gfx but in reality it is inferior in every way.

And lasty the MG4 head developer SAID that 360 COULD run MGS4... that it was perfectly capable of it, but HIS team PREFERS to work on one title for one system at a time....

Its pointless to sit here and argue about what game created by a THIRD PARTY STUDIO will NEVER go to the system you dont like. Because when that agem goes multiplatform you people will look liek even bigger idiots then you already are. God i hate fanboys.

Like many have said already, the MGS devs have already said that MGS4 could run on the xbox 360.
You fantards need to accept the fact the the systems do not have any differences even remotely major enough to prevent a game being made on one console and not the other. That's simply ignorant.
Also what makes you so sure that only Sony could ever have final fantasy. Nintendo had the first 6 games and then we stole it. Now after 6 more games, on the dawn of another. What makes you so sure microsoft couldn't take it from us.
Anyways, you're a moron and you make me want to sell my PS3 and buy a 360 myself

Why don't you people stop spamming on boards and go play your "so great" console that has "so many great games."
I'm sure about 90% of you are uneducated about technology and just try to follow the crowd. Seeing a lot of these posts here, clearly indicates the level of intelligence by members of your advocating community.
If or when any of these two titles come to your console, good for you. But, I highly doubt any of you will be able to enjoy the game for long. Because, judging on the reliability of your console, you'll probably be spending more time staring more at your "oh so great console" with its nice and bright "red rings of death" than actually get to enjoy the games for what they are.

Lame excuses if you ask me.
Japan is about quality and MicroSoft definitely does not represent quality by beta testing hardware like software code. Until MicroSoft changes their practice of this for hardware, they will never succeed in Japan.
People, it's called reputation and xbox just doesn't have a good one. Let's see, MS gave gargantuan controllers (and hardware!) with the original xbox, hardware issues on the 360 (without making good on warranties until a lot of people complained), and insulting Asians with the www.whatswrongwithu.com ( http://kotaku.com/gaming/microsoft/whats-wrong-with-you-234147.php) website...
Microsoft is utter CRAP!

You say everyone is basically stupid, yet you have nothing to back up your claim.
Therefore, keep your stupid conclusions to your stupid self and realize you are worse than them with your retarded post.
Thanks, have a wonderful time with your POS3.

Ever heard of final fantasy games on Gameboy Advance or the DS? Did you also forget Final Fantasy XI was an early XBOX 360 game?
Metal Gear Solid 2 came to XBOX, although supposed to be exclusive.
Nobody believes you. Hideo has never directly said MGS4 will be PS3 exclusive. What he said about not being possible on the 360 is BS sony told him to say.
Enough with the predictions! Only a PS3 fantard cares about losing exclusive games, because the PS3 may die because of losing them! Go fill out one of those retarded petitions again.

Way to show me how intelligent and original you are by basically copying the same theme and format that I used.
You deserve a A+ for effort, but if effort really accounted for everything in the world, then I'm sure you would have been able to post a more creative response than that and you and your gene pool wouldn't be such a waste of the planet's resources.
Sadly, your innate ability to post a sub-intelligent response only shows that efforts like yours will only get you so far in life.
If you were intelligent enough to figure out my post. Then you would have been able to figure out that there was support for my claim. But since you are of primitive intelligence and you can't figure things out without having someone to just basically spell them out for you, I'll do it for you just this time.
Claim 1: x-bot fanatics are probably some of the saddest form of human beings there are
Support 1 for Claim 1: Spamming Boards when not spending time on their great console.
Claim 2: 90% uneducated about technology.
Support for Claim 2: Me stating "previous posts." And before you want me to give you the exact posts, you can read them, there aren't that many.
Now you, my intellectually challenged fantard or retard, which ever you would prefer me to call you, because frankly at the moment, both definitions could apply to you; you can prove to me that you don't fit under claim 2 by telling me who Alan Turing and what is a Turing machine.
Anyone with technical knowledge should know who he is and what a Turing machine is. (Oh, I forgot, you're one of the mentally challenged waste of planet resources who can't figure anything out for himself unless it's spelled out for him, *HINT* Look on Wikipedia)
Unfortunately there's no way you can rebut the fact that you fit under Claim 1, since you've already showed that you fit perfectly under this Claim with your poor attempt to respond in a fashionable matter to my original post.
Have a nice day, and do us all a favor and please use a rubber, intelligence is also hereditary. The world doesn't need anymore intellectually challenged individuals.
I'm sure you also don't want your kids to hate you and have to tell them some day that the reason they're retarded is because daddy is too.

PS3 sold about 23,000 last month I think, Xbox 360 sold about 3/4,000.

If sony get halo 3 and Gow it would improve sony sales in the US.
If sony doesnt get Halo 3 then the 360 wont get MGS4

I still see no facts in your rant filled BS post. Are you some kind of technological master? So smart you don't need to be bothered expaining your vast knowledge of nothing?
Everything you complain about can be just as easily applied to you and your kind (retards.) Just because you learned some big words in special ed class doesn't make you intelligent in the least.
"Claim 1: x-bot fanatics are probably some of the saddest form of human beings there are"
Support 1 for Claim 1: Spamming Boards when not spending time on their great console."
PS3 fantards have been using that excuse for some time now. You're not playing a game on your POS3 now, but that's not because you're bored with it. No it's just too awesome to experience all at once, you need a break, right dumbass? I never use my 360 and I spend all my time defending it against fantard attack because I just love the console I never use right?
Doesn't seem like you're using your PS3 much lately. Even if you were using it's web browser to post here, it's like you are doing it just so you can say "hey look how useful and versatile the POS3 is!" Might as well, after playing Resistance for the last 5 months and wishing a decent game would come out, you're probably bored.
Except for acting like an all-knowing intelligent person, you are as much an ignorant, egotistical, worthless fantard wanna be as many others.
Some PS3 fans are smart. They explain the strengths and weaknesses of their system without bias, name calling, using others' names or making things up. You are just another fantard, absolutely clueless about the things you so animately beleive in.
Good luck wishing those upcoming PS3 games are not disapointments like motorstorm. Hell, why not start a petition begging sony to make decent games and forget about blu gay, the same thing that made the PS3 suck in the first place?

Unfortunately, you have failed once again. But I'm sure you're used to failing at life by now, huh?
You couldn't even say who Alan Turing is. Even when I told you specifically where you could find out. So, you pretty much fit under claim 2 as well, being uneducated about technology
My quirk, is that I just don't like stupid people. You being one of the most mentally handicapped people I've encountered, pretty much means that I don't like you.
Another thing, you're not even really addressing the issue, because you're not even smart enough to figure out what the issue is.
Did I ever even make any claims for the PS3? Hello mentally challenged fantard, stick with the issue at hand.
But unfortunately, that's probably beyond your mental ability to comprehend. Which leads to my original advice again. Please remember to use rubbers so that you won't pollute the world's population with your inferior and mentally challenged offsprings.
