Stop saying "Screw Japan".
They ARE important, you know.
They haven't been to MS, however. It only makes sense for an American company to focus primarily on North America & Europe. Japan has always been the backbone of the videogame industry because that's where the platforms were originating, as well.
Not to mention the fact that there's a lot more American and European developers NOW than there there was in the days of the "Soninsega wars", so names like Capcom, Konami, Namco, Squaresoft (who are all kinda haphazzardly involved with the 360), etc aren't as big a loss when you've got names like UbiSoft, EA, 2K, Activision, & others that are churning out titles, especially considering all these developers have made some titles that are exclusive to 360 (which is next best thing to having second party).
I believe that they need to really pick up the pace in Japan, though. The 360 would be soooo much better if the Japanese market took to it nearly half as well as everyone else. I'm having trouble finding things worth importing since they either came out here first, or aren't exclusive. What am I left with, really?
I'm suprised Idolm@ster is only #13, I thought it'd at least be in the top 10, myself. I'm even MORE suprised, however, that Ziria isn't even on this list.
