Onigiri is one of the most junk free to play games iv ever played it's slow boring and looks like a ps2 game {iv played it on ps4} yea it's hard to think of it as a MMORPG As it's not very big Crying or Very sad Japan needs to bring other better mmorpg games out

Typical, a Microsoft system ends up dead on arrival in Japan. I wish they would learn from their mistakes for once. Bro games don't sell in Japan, they lost Idolm@ster to Sony (thank god), and the only going for it last gen were shmups and a few great VNs, one being Steins;Gate.

I can't say they aren't trying, but they're trying the wrong way.

Oh well, just like super Japanese games in the West those brogames are a niche in Japan. It's nice for the fans those games will be available to them.

That and consoles sales in Japan has been slumping. So I don't have any strong hope that Xbox One will sell a lot in Japan.

I played Onigiri first on PC a while back and like two months ago on ps4 again. I don't think it's terrible (that princess is nice), but it's definately nothing ANYONE would ever buy an xbone for.

It's free on pc, and with those graphics it runs even on old machines.
Also the controls on PS4 are terrible.

PS4 also has FF14 for like 2100yen...

Does Microsoft really think they're gonna sell more xbones than 360s in japan like that?

Maybe they are... They think xbone players love kinect after all..

Well with games like FFARR from Japan and PSO2 games like Onigiri don't have a shot in hell lol
