Japanese companies defecting to the 360

[Paco]

This right after Sega announced Virtua Fighter 5 for the 360...

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?

Silent Hill, Metal Gear, Castlevania, and Soul Calibur have all been on the Xbox before, so the only other Sony exclusives he could be talking about are the 'Tales of ...' RPGs and/or Tekken, no? Tekken has been noticeably absent since 2005; I wonder what's going on there. Playstation 2 exclusive Soul Calibur 3 had underwhelming sales, so it's a no brainer it will go multiplatform for the fourth iteration.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at Playstation HQ.

Oh, and I'm still praying that SquareEnix commit a good project to the 360. The next Chrono game would be nice...
