Infanune-San has suggested that the Xbox 360 is the best way to break into overseas markets. This strategy has arguably brought good success with the likes of Lost Planet experiencing success as a timed Xbox 360 exclusive as well as the exclusive Dead Rising title.


When discussing the virtues of Capcom's overseas policy, Inafune-san suggests that long before Dead Rising and Lost Planet established the model, it was in fact the relatively little-heard of PS2 title Shadow of Rome that became the first title to adopt it.

Elaborating on the overseas policy further, Inafune-san makes his high opinion of the Xbox 360 well-known. Despite the perceived risk of developing for a Western format, Inafune's decision to support the Xbox 360 exclusively with Dead Rising, the timed exclusive of Lost Planet, and added support of PlayStation brands such as Devil May Cry and Resident Evil, ultimately bore significant success.

How many times does it have to be said? Capcom put Monster Hunter on the damn 360! Problem solved. And bring it to the other areas outside of Japan as well:p

I think he means that releasing games in the West is a good approach. Out of all the Japanese developers recently, Capcom have been on a role getting tons and tons of sales releasing games like Dead Rising which are aimed at Western Markets.

Multi Platform releases have also done the company justice too. Kudos to Capcom!

He said a "Western format," not "in the West." Capcom's games have never released in the "West?" The Playstation and Nintendo are both Japanese (Eastern). That's what he means.

what was odd was to see lost planet get released a year later on ps3 while dead rising probably one of capcoms best games this gen got ported to the wii instead of ps3 :eek:.

But capcom has been in bed with microsoft since this gen started and they have shown the xbox 360 tons of love.
