Dear Japan: Why do you hate the 360?
Nathan Gamer says: "I just don't understand your lack of interest in the Xbox 360. No, really, I don't see how you can deny a console that offers exactly the kinds of games that have classically piqued the interest of Japanese gamers. Just off the top of my head I can think of Eternal Sonata, Blue Dragon, and Lost Odyssey, not to mention Tales of Vesperia, which is coming to the 360 in a few months, too. That's four solid JRPG titles that are currently exclusive to Microsoft's system."
