LGC 2006: How Exclusive is Lost Planet?
Capcom producer Jun Takeuchi, talks pre-release DLC and exclusivity.
???review.by??? Luke Smith, 08/23/2006
You know the "Only on Xbox 360" label that is slapped on select 360 titles? How exclusive are these games really? It's a question we posed to Jun Takeuchi, one half of the producer duo (Keiji Inafune is the other half of this twosome) behind Capcom's excellent-thus-far Lost Planet, at the Leipzig Game Convention.
While there are no current plans to bring Lost Planet to the PS3, Jun Takeuchi didn't rule out the possibility of the game appearing elsewhere in the future: "We will try to keep it as a 360 exclusive," Takeuchi said. "But, from the company's point of view, when you think about the business, in the future it's something we might have to do." If the Japanese market wants the title bad enough, it seems possible that there could be a Lost Planet on PS3 -- remember Resident Evil 4?
Capcom is one of the few Japanese developers embracing the Xbox 360 ('sup, Dead Rising) despite the console's underperformance dismal showing in Japan, but the system's lack of success in Capcom's backyard doesn't phase Takeuchi. "We are minorities in Japan, we're one of the few 360 developers [from there], but we don't think that's a bad thing. We're trying to appeal to the worldwide audience; we hope that more Japanese publishers realize there are more markets outside of Japan."
With the playable demo for Lost Planet's multiplayer demo, there's been speculation as to whether or not gamers would see another piece of downloadable content ahead of the game's release. Takeuchi cryptically addresses that scenario: "We don't know if it's going to be a multiplayer demo or not, but we will upload something to keep the users busy until release."

Confirmed as an Xbox 360 exclusive game
At the Game Convention at Leipzig, Germany, which took place from August 21-23 of 2006, one of the Lost Planet producers, Jun Takeuchi, remarked hypothetically to 1up.com that for Capcom as a business company, the potential porting of Lost Planet from the Xbox 360 to the PlayStation 3 was "in the future it's something we might have to do." However, Mr. Takeuchi also said that he will personally "try to keep it as a 360 exclusive."
1up made speculative comments that lower than expected Xbox 360 sales in Japan may lead Capcom to port the game to the PS3. [2] However, the Japanese sales based speculative comments of 1up actually indicate that Lost Planet is likely to remain exclusive to the Xbox 360, because on August 24, 2006, Mitsubishi JFC Securities officially announced that they were reducing the worldwide sales expectations of the Playstation 3 by 50%, to only 3 Million systems sold worldwide by March of 2007. [3]
While talking with 1up, the games producer, Jun Takeuchi, went on to say that as a business organization Capcom, "is trying to appeal to the worldwide audience," and he said "Capcom has a hope that more Japanese publishers realize that there are more markets outside of Japan." [4] Microsoft has already achieved all of its sales goals from the previous year, and the current goal is to sell 10 million Xbox 360 systems worldwide by the end of 2006, and 15 million systems worldwide by June of 2007. [5]
Stronger than expected worldwide sales of new intellectual property Xbox 360 games like Dead Rising and Xbox Live downloads for Lost Planet are the reasons why Jun Takeuchi made it clear that Capcom is doing everything they can to make sure Lost Planet will remain exclusive to the Xbox 360, just like Dead Rising. [6]
On August 31, 2006, the Producer of Capcom's Lost Planet video game, Jun Takeuchi, made it clear that two Xbox 360 games-- Lost Planet, and Dead Rising--are both developed exclusively for the Xbox 360, with no plans to port the games to other systems. [7] Jun Takeuchi makes it clear while being interviewed that Lost Planet is being created by Capcom for a worldwide audience on the Xbox 360, and it is optimized to take advantage of the Xbox 360 hardware. Due to this fact, Capcom has no plans to port these Xbox 360 exclusive games to other hardware, because Jun Takeuchi makes it clear that this would result in a diluted product on the system it was ported to.
