Shinji Mikami " the 360 for the visual Otherwise, Wii." - Jun 23, 2007 22:18

A particularly cool feature this week had gamers, game makers and celebrities make tough choices regarding gaming. The magazine polled Famitsu.com readers to find out what systems, games and characters come out on top. Here are a few of the results. Most samples included between 1,500 and 1,600 responses.

1. Which would you support: Wii, PS3 or Xbox 360?
Wii: 38.9%
PS3: 38.0%
X360: 23.1%

Asked the same question, Shinji Mikami said, " From the stance of a game maker, if you' re looking for visual expression and reality, it' s Xbox 360. Otherwise, Wii." Looks like the former Capcom producer still doesn' t have a favorable impression of Sony.

Mikami has been involved in the development of:

Resident Evil
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
Resident Evil Code: Veronica
REmake
Resident Evil 0
Resident Evil 4
Devil May Cry
P.N. 03
Dino Crisis
Dino Crisis 2
Dino Crisis 3
God Hand
Phoneix Wright: Ace Attorney
Killer 7
Viewtiful Joe
Viewtiful Joe 2
Onimusha: Warlords

...but he' s mainly responsible for the Resident Evil franchise.

It looks like he won' t be working on a PS3 title any time soon...

23.1% for Xbox 360 on a Famitsu poll?

Regardless of what Mikami said that' s a pretty impressive change for Xbox in Japan. I would have thought the breakdown for 360 would have been low teens to single digits.

Sounds like Micosoft is doing a better job at courting the Japanese devs then last gen.

I wonder why the boys at Level 5 weren' t asked the same question.

It' s funny to see the 360' s popularity spike like that, I certainly didn' t expect it that fast. Yes... yes I know that' s not what the article is pointing out, but we already knew that folks weren' t pleased with the PS3.

Level 5 is an independent that works on the PS3 but has experience with other companies. One of those companies is Microsoft, a company which they vowed never to work with again due to MS fucking up True Fantasy Live. My point was that we all have different opinions on the matter, and they are all subject to their own bias and predjudice.

Level 5' s opinion counts, just as this Capcom producer' s opinion counts.

To quez: That' s why they have so many DS projects in the pipeline.

To Eddie the Hated: Dark Cloud 2, True Fantasy Live, Rogue Galaxy, Jeanne D' Arc, Prof Layton and the Mysterious village in addition to Dark Cloud and Dragon Quest IX. Good try, though.

How hilarious, maybe we should shit in your face for have a shitty and useless Kikizo existence.

Level 5' s opinions are as valid as the dude in Capcom' s. Way to be a bunch of idiotic punks.
