Thread: Metal Gear Solid Substance Xbox canned for Japan

  1. ]

    The part that makes the least sense to me....

    PS2:

    Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
    MGS 2 Mega Hits version
    Document of MGS 2
    MGS 2 Substance

    So there's four MGS 2 related titles out or due out for Japanese PS2, Konami's plan seems to spread the game thinly on one console and totally neglect sales on a console that hasn't seen the series yet. I imagine they could make A profit off the release even if it isn't a 100,000 seller. *-neo

  2. Every Japanese Xbox owner probably has a PS2 as well, so I doubt there are too many Jap Box owners who are 'missing out'. Then again, I'm sure they could still sell 100,000 easy, even with the small userbase. Meh... not my problem. I'll let the japs worry about the japs.

    MGS2 Mega Hits is just a repackaged, cheaper version of the original MGS2 right? So it's more like 2 MGS2 games, and a special "making of" disc that's getting released in a country where consumers gobble up art books that cost $70 and toy models that cost $20...

  4. Well, It sucks for Japanese Xbox owners who wanted to play it. Still if they have it on PS2 they will be able to play it.

  5. The way I look at it most people in Japan who own a XBOX already have a PS2 so they won't have a problem... plus they always get the nice premium packages from Konami that we never get so I don't feel bad for them, but it still is lame

    Someone has a problem with that, Microsoft. If the Xbox userbase in Japan is merely a subset of the PS2 userbase, then the Xbox is utterly doomed.

    Microsoft has to give the Japanese a reason to buy an Xbox. Until that reason arrives, it will languish in painfully low sales.

  7. Ummm... Yeah, the Japanese gamers do have a problem if they want to play in progressive scan with graphics that are a little less shitty.

    Exactly, they need a big title release in Japan... how about a RPG since it is sorely lacking in that department in Japan.

    If ether Enix or Square released a big original title on XBOX that would surely sell some XBOX's in Japan

  9. And the latest bell chimes in the deathtoll for the Xbox... I've been saying this'll happen... just wait and see, it's going to get worse.
    You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.

  10. Does this mean Treasure will release a game for it then bbobb, they like those dying/dead systems to release games on
