While Xbox crashed and burned in Japan, the 360 has so far proven to be a complete turn around. At their Summit in Tokyo this week, over 50 Japanese game publishers committed to development on the console, and not just that, but reeled off a list of titles to look forward to as well. Confirmed for Xbox 360 include Winning Eleven, Super Robot Wars, Dynasty Warriors 5, Mobile Suit Gundam, Resident Evil 5, Rumble Roses XX, Dead or Alive 4, DOA: Code Cronus, DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball 2, Final Fantasy XI, King of Fighters Maximum Impact 2 and Ridge Racer 6, amongst others. Namco for example stated they are working on a fantasy style RPG, which could perhaps be a new entry in the "Tales of" series? Some of the other big names to sign on were Bandai, Capcom, D3, From Software, Genki, Hudson Soft, Koei, Konami, Marvelous, Sega, Spike, Success Corp, Taito, Tomy, Treasure, and still more.
Peter Moore, vice president and chief of Xbox marketing, proudly announced "every major third-party publisher right here in Japan is committed to supplying games to Xbox 360." Despite rumors of a delayed Japanese launch recently, Microsoft also re-confirmed their plans to launch the console in America, Europe and Japan before the end of this year. While pricing and an exact date remains an unknown, as soon as it's announced, you'll see it right here.
