Isn't that enough? In any normal year, it would be. But we're entering into the beginning of the third year of production for Xbox 360 games (developers started Xbox 360 games in early 2005). Developers know the system better than before; they're no longer confused by the triple-core processors. The console has sold well, and will most likely hit the projected 10 million unit mark by January 2007 (worldwide). Publishers are taking note, and they're happy about it. Microsoft has challenged Sony on every level and, at least for the moment, has taken the market share lead in the next-gen console race. Exclusives that were once mainstay titles on Sony's platform are no longer. Grand Theft Auto IV will ship day and date on Xbox 360 and PS3. Assassin's Creed will ship on both systems, too. SEGA's Virtua Fighter 5 will now ship to Xbox 360, and even though it's late, Guitar Hero II will hit the console in spring 2007.
It's enough to turn American and European publishers around. For the most part, U.S. and Euro companies have been on board Microsoft's plan. But to turn Japanese publishers into Microsoft believers? Ha ha! We're kidding you, right? We've been drinking too much Christmas grog! Too much mulled wine. Too much damned Microsoft Kool-Aid. Right?
Nope.
We're as sober as the Pope. Watch and see how other Japanese publishers react. Mark our words here: Other publishers, other big-name Japanese publishers aside from Capcom (how we love thee, Capcom), will begin putting their once Sony exclusives on Xbox 360. And, in some cases, they'll put them on Xbox 360 first. Don't believe us? Watch for Namco and Konami in 2007. We're still not certain whether Metal Gear Solid 4 will hit Xbox 360, but if numbers (of units sold) do the talking, count on its arrival to Xbox 360 sometime after the PS3 version. What about Namco? We're sworn to secrecy, but the tide is changing here too. Prepare for some real Namco hardcore gaming love in 2007. Overall, Sony has reacted with alarm, anger, confusion, and is now realizing it must deal with this new situation: It isn't the console leader anymore. Oh yeah, almost forgot. Then there are Mistwalker's Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two highly anticipated Japanese RPGS exclusive to the console. And, oh yes, did somebody say something about Resident Evil 5?
und bevor ich meinen Kollegen belagern muss 
der sich eine PS3 wohl zum Launch kauft , wäre es besser es gäbe Tekken auch auf der Xbox360 ..
hoffentlich holt der sich noch die PS3 ...
