Quick Quotes – Cave on building the Xbox 360′s Japanese user base
“It’s important that more 360 exclusive titles arrive on the system. In the way I look at it, games and hardware have to be thought of together, so for hardware to be successful you have to develop games. While Xbox 360 is very popular internationally, it’s not as popular in Japan at the moment. I think things can change if there are more exclusive titles from Cave and other developers for the system.”
– Makoto Asada of Japanese sch’mup developer Cave speaks to Siliconera about Microsoft’s battle to win over Japanese consumers.
