Spread your market, more places to wip up cash. After all GTA double pack is selling like hot cakes the first time it came out and still people are buying it. It doesn't matter if it doesn't sell in japan, Export it at a cheap rate and you could make yourself a lot of money. Who said you couldn't just deal with ps2? why not the smaller consoles and maximise profit?

I hope they release time crisis on xbox thats playstations game and xboxs is house of the dead simple as that.

Yes but i was being awkward :D

I think he meant powerful meaning infulence ?

Correction. Xbox IS the biggest (measure it), and it is also the powerfullest (is that a word?)

Did they only release TC in Japan? No. They released it everywhere.

Is House of the Dead III no good then ?

"For their own interest and profits" ? Yeah right!

You are Namco. Do you want to retain an exclusivity deal with all that entails, with the biggest and most powerful videogame system on the planet, or do you want to risk that by making the games which, in Namco's home territory of Japan, will barely sell because barely anyone owns an Xbox.

Hmmm, it's a toughy...

And i'm sure they'll put your opinion at the top of their to do list...

They say that vc3 was coming out and what i've seen in the arcades it looks good. But i must insist that namco make it for the xbox. For their own interests and profits. Unless sony has sign an agreement stating that they can't shift it to the xbox, theres still every bit of hope that it will arrive.

No.

Virtua Cop 4 was supposedly heading for the Xbox and has been ever since launch. However since then I haven't seen or heard anything about it. Shame really as there isn't anything worth buying a light gun for the Xbox at the moment.
