Panzer Dragoon Orta was something of a sleeper hit in its time that deserves more love.

Granted, while a lot of these games have since been ported to PlayStation systems (and understandably so, how else were they meant to break-even?), here are five Japanese developed games which still remain exclusive to Xbox consoles and are worth having in any collection."
Back in the Xbox days there was an exclusive game from Atlus called Shin Megami Tensei Nine. Always wanted to play it but the game never released in the west.
No mention of From materpieces like Otogi, Tenchu and Ninja Blade either...
Microsoft had a good relationship with From Software.....time to rejuvenate that relationship
@Spurg Doubtful. FromSoftware multiplatform games already come out on MS platforms, and they're not gonna make exclusive deals with them again to avoid lost sales in Japan. Not to mention that Japanese companies are probably gun-shy at making exclusive deals with Microsoft after the Scalebound fiasco.
Why Platinum took MS money for years and used it to make other games not called scalebound. MS had to pullbthe plug eventually. If anything Japanese devs look to MS as a funding source
If their so worried about the Japanese market than they will never make the kind of money they should. This will be a set back till they change
Panzer Dragoon Orta render at "4k" on Xbox One X, look's better then many remasters.

Blue Dragon is BC too.
PD: Orta looks great enhanced. Saga is the one that needs a remaster.

I was super excited to play Blue Dragon back in the day since I loved Dragon Quest VIII so much. Bought an Xbox 360 for Blue Dragon, Fable 2, Bioshock, and Mass Effect. I played about 5-6 games on my 360 and it died 3 times. The last time I checked is when I pulled it out to play Jade Empire (which I wish they would remake or make a sequel to). Man, that hardware sucked.
Yup my Xbox 360 finally got the rrod one day and I never fixed it or replaced it, I was already prepared for it, it was inevitable lol
The Xbox One has been had a rough journey this generation. Mostly due to lack of exclusive titles but the system has mostly redeemed itself thanks to backward compatibility, Xbox Game Pass, and Xbox Play Anywhere. Microsoft has come a long way since the original Xbox and it wasn't luck, a lot of acclaimed titles helped bolster the system's reputation over the years. Here are the best Xbox exclusive games ever made.
Yeah that’s a good one. I would also add condemned criminal origins. Or was that on PC as well?
I don't really know if it matters in regards to this article. Halo Combat Evolved was on PC. Conker was a remake of N64 game. In Forza Horizon is also a PC game.
I miss the days when they got games like this.. Whenever MS gets their head out of their a$$ ill buy their console again..
SEGA have brought so many wonderful franchises into the gaming world, one can almost begin to forget the sheer number of them. Despite this, a great many of them are yet to make an appearance on the Xbox One, a place where they would surely be welcomed with open arms.
This list covers some of the most pressing ones, and paints a picture of just how much Microsoft fans are missing out on.
They all deserve another chance on ps4, switch and Xbox one. Sega is actually seeing some profit on the games they have published so they may venture into developing and releasing older IP's. I am looking forward to Sakura Wars and I hope it releases on ps4 and Switch.
Weird article. "Belong" is a strange word to use, and not enough legitimate reasons are given as to why Xbox One in particular and not others.
For those that care not to dredge through 10 pages:
1) Yakuza
2) Daytona USA
3) Initial D
4) Phantasy Star Online
5) House of the Dead
6) Super Monkey Ball
7) Virtua Tennis
8) Persona
9) Panzer Dragoon
10) Nights
Yes it's good to have games on more than one platform so more people can play them but honestly, looking at that list...none of them would do well on the XB1. They'd certainly do better than zero but anyone with any inkling of playing those games wouldn't only own an xbox and thus would probably have already played them on other platforms.
For example, someone who has an interest in Japanese games wouldn't just own an xbox. They would have had to have owned at least one of PS2, PS3, PSP, or Vita at some point.
And of course there will be replies saying they've only owned an xbox and would love to play those games. Well there's not enough of you out there to make it worthwhile it would seem because Sega is in the business of making money. I'm sure they wouldn't deliberately sacrifice making more money just to spite Microsoft and their users.
Just going by VGChartz Yakuza 6 - .32M Yakuza Kiwami - .38M Gravity Rush 2 - .32M etc. so you mean to tell me Xbox wouldn't get anywhere near these numbers if these titles came out for the system? You guys are funny if thats what you call selling than wow
"For those that care not to dredge through 10 pages:"
Thanks. So tired of the "click" era of internet.
Virtua Tennis and House of the Dead and I'd be very happy. I want new light gun games that work with this generation. Tv's should be bright enough now...
I don't know what Super Monkey Ball and Initial D are, but all others games don't start on XB. What this shit site is talking about?
Yakuza would just flop on Xbox One with its heavily Japanese focused eccentricities
Persona even moreso
None of those would sell well on Xbox
Some of them already had some presence on previous Xbox consoles and they didnt sell
"10 Sega Franchises That never should be in the Xbox One cause they don't deserve it"
^^^ Article Title fixed ;)
Im pretry sure Phantasy Star and Panzar Dragoon were already on an Xbox Platform.
First it's they need games, now it's they don't deserve them. You console gamers are a weird ass bunch.
It should be a PSVR Game.
Yea i really enjoyed the game, especially since the gameplay is much like Starfox.
Sega, please remaster and resell this for next-gen consoles. I will pay full price to dive through this gem for the 10th+ time.
