It just goes to show how different the North American and Japanese audiences are. In America, Playstation, Xbox 360, and, increasngly, even Wii users clamor for first-person shooters starring hulking space-marine mooks, and ultra-gory horror titles populated with zombies, zombies on fire and, well, other zombie-like things. In Japan (and other parts of Asia), kinder, gentler titles such as Aquanaut's Holiday, Africa/Hakuna Matata and Dress are aimed at a demographic that marketers seem pretty sure just doesn't exist in America. (Perhaps the success of That Game Company's Flower will change their minds?). Now, Sony of Japan has posted a page announcing integration of its dress-em-up simulation Dress with Sony's Home. We still think the killer app for Dress would be to design and model T-shirts and hats virtually (for free, preferably) and then have the "real things" delivered as custom-printed clothing -- for real money. As it is, paying money to clothe one's avatars in Dress (or Home, for that matter) seems like an idea that's only halfway there. Perhaps the dearth of similar "metro-friendly" titles are part of the reason the Xbox 360 has been so slow to catch on in Japan?
