Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, Murayama conceded that 360 had to date not proved very popular in Japan, adding that: “We haven't decided if we'll release Virtua Fighter 5 in Japan because of that.
“But if we can only release the game for the US or EU markets, we just hope Virtua Fighter 5 will be a key title which encourages people to buy Xbox 360s.”
Xbox 360 has to date sold around 400,000 machines in Japan – far less than the three million Wii’s and one million PS3’s that have already been snapped up at retail.
