Ketsui PS2

I'd even play Smashing Drive if it were on XBLA.

But why would one hope for Wii and not a 360 release? Seriously.

Because there's more of a chance of it hitting Wii than 360, so might as well hope for something that has a better chance of happening. The 360 has sold like absolute dog shit in Japan, it's not going to get this game on it. The only systems to hope for this to come out on since they aren't going to do a PS2 version would be GC and Wii. Fuck a PS3 version that system is too damn expensive and there's no mod chip for playing imports on it yet. Since it's not coming to the PS2 and we know that they'll never do an Xbox or 360 port I hope they attempt a GC one. Why you ask because I can use a free loader then and play it, cause theres no way in hell this is going to come to the US and there's still no import solution for the Wii.

So they wouldn't port it on a system with a huge ass user base but they will port it on one that has no user base...? That's some good sense there. I'll go out on a limb and say the worldwide sales of Ketsui would be higher on the 360 than the Wii or GC.

No, they'll port it to a system that has a user base like the Wii before the 360 which has no user base. This is a Japan region game so they're looking at what that market wants, and the 360 is a success in a region that doesn't give a shit about arcade shooters. I highly doubt it would sell best on the 360 in Japan, unless Senko no Ronde pulled in more sales than I thought it did.

Put it on XBLA for 5-10 bucks and it will sell, and sell well.

I think they were hoping for $60 for each copy...but if it'll sell 10x better on XBLA in Japan than it would on the PS2 they might consider it.

They're not going to get it.

It would sell absolutely ridiculously well at $10 on XBLA, maybe even at $15.

We're talking about a Japanese game in Japan. The 360 has no User base in Japan and is getting it's ass kicked by the Wii.
