But in Jpn, the 360's sales is dismal w/ the exception of times when good JRPGs came out (Eternal Sonata, Blue Dragon). PS3 is getting a boost from Minna no Golf 5 and My Summer Vacation 3, those are all hot system sellers. And as we all know, it's only a matter of tme before all the must-haves come out on the PS3, so I wouldn't really worry about it. I don't know how much loss Sony is taking now, but w/ the recent warranty extention fiasco, MS is losing money big time despite the great online service. That's why the 360 needs to rebuild consumer's confidence and have more exclusives that make people want the system (espeically in Japan). If not for the above 2 mentioned games, I wouldn't have bought my Xbox yet. I hear you, I kept waiting for the first Katamari to drop to $9.99, but that time never came, lol..

Exclusives are just icing on the cake, but it certainly doesn't need them as much as the PS3. As for not ever playing a Katamari game, you don't know what you're missing. It's fun, quirky, very different when it first came out.

I actually haven't played any Katamari games yet, so this might be my first one. The 360 really needs all the exclusives it can get.
