Enterbrain Prez: MGS4 and FFXIII could save Xbox 360 in Japan

NetMunch News reports that the president of Enterbrain the publisher of the famous Famitsu Magazine, Hirokazu Hamamura has stated that he believes that the Xbox 360 could be a huge success in Japan if Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII were made for the Xbox 360.

NetMunch claims that Hamamura believes that the two mentioned titles – if made for the Xbox 360 – could save the console in the Japan region and even help it be as popular as it is in North America.

NetMunch even goes as far as to claim that “Sony is losing support from its own nation.”

Oddly though (and contrary to NetMunch’s assertions), the report at GameFront.de of Hirokazu Hamamura’s lecture in Tokyo seemed to focus more on how to help the Xbox 360 in Japan, instead of a declaration of support for the Xbox 360 over the Sony PS3. Naming ways to help save the Xbox 360 is far from declaring withdrawal of support for the PS3.

Not that Hamamura didn’t have anything slightly negative to say about the PS3. In a later report over at GameFront.de the PS3 side of Hamamura’s lecture was covered and again those two key titles were mentioned and labeled as crucial to Sony in it’s effort to gain market shares.

Hamamura also notes that Cell chip manufacturing price reductions could help the console and it’s world-wide situation. Hamamura notes that the situation isn’t that good but it is far from hopeless.
