This looks interesting. I still don't own any current gen consoles so we'll see what happens. I like Psycho pass so hopefully they don't mess it up. Its a series that would make a perfect video game if you think about it

Forgot to mention the New Edit version of PsychoPass airing in five weeks time! (22 episodes converted into 1 hour episodes with brand new footage to cover the gaps)

Well, I guess that the premium edition I just got of Psycho Pass is useless. |

Why does 5pb almost always ignore the Sony side?

There was no mention of the title being exclusive to Xbox One. It was just announced at an Xbox One launch focused event. |

^ I'm just saying, in the past 5pb titles were almost always xbox exclusive.
I guess I just find it strange because Xbox has never been all that successful in Japan. |

Glad to see Japanese game companies giving the Xbox One some love. Though I doubt this game will be coming to North America, which is sad since I'm getting real tired of playing FPS

Yeah, it's a weird situation. A couple of smaller JP companies like 5pb and Cave were favouring the 360 over the PS3 in the early goings of last gen due to the PS3 being so much harder to develop for initially. At least that was how I'd heard it. Could well just be MS throwing money around though. Current situation is very different though, as PS4 is easier to develop for than Xbox One, so if they're going to release something on Xbox One, really the sole reason they'd have not to also release on PS4 is if MS threw money at them to do so. I know consoles in generally are pretty screwed in Japan right now, but even as lacking as PS4 sales have been there, it's still all but guaranteed to be more 'successful' than Xbox One ever will be in the region. For games like 5pb produces, I'm going to guess western sales will be a non-factor... as they're not likely to release outside Japan. |

Microsoft did say thaat they had some Japanese games coming to XO. Question is if its a permanent exclusive or a timely exclusive?

I could be wrong but isn't the Xbox One not region locked? |

Actually you are correct, the xbox one is completely region free. http://www.primagames.com/games/ryse-son-rome/news/xbox-one-officially-goes-region-free |

I doubt MS is putting out money for visual novel games.
The licensing fees and production costs are probably cheaper then Sony's. MS isn't going to charge developers tons of money to make and publish games on the system there. For games that would be lucky to sell 10,000 that probably means a lot. |

In Japan Xbox is considered for hardcores like VNs.

Yes. All current consoles(not made by Nintendo) are region free. That's not gonna do much good when you're importing titles whose gameplay consists mostly of reading walls of text though. I'd like to see these released in english of course, but it seems unlikely. |
