We have an interesting article for you to read now, especially if you’re a gamer who pays close attention to what goes on over in Japan. It has been revealed that Xbox 360 sales in Japan are struggling, with particular focus on their ‘once’ exclusives.
Over at SankakuComplex, they have compiled a list of the top-selling Xbox 360 games at the moment. Top of list is none other than Star Ocean 4 (208,521 sales), which you’ll probably know has now been announced for the PS3.
Next was Blue Dragon (203,740), which is now available in a portable version on the Nintendo DS. Then it follows with Tales of Vesperia, Last Remnant and BioHazard 5 (Resident Evil 5).
Although SankakuComplex seem to think so, we’re not sure if the Xbox 360 is quite ‘finished’ just yet, but they do seem to be having a problem shifting their ‘exclusive’ titles over there.
Let us know what you think on this. More details in the link above.

I think all of the ‘exclusives’ are going to end up jumping back over to Sony’s machine, and doing ridiculous business there. Sort of like Tales of Vesperia PS3 has already caught up to the lifetime sales of ToV on 360. I find that hilarious.
MS is finished in Japan. Never should’ve even tried.
