Of course, you could argue impotently like decision is the fault of "social justice warriors," but that's not at all the reason the game isn't Asia, who stands to gain the most by puffing out its chest and rushing to the defense of upset fans by reminding them that importing is always an option. It's shameless pandering and nothing more aquapendulum We would never forget about boobs. T--- are life, ass is hometown Play-Asia.com (@playasia) November 25, 2015 THEY'RE LYING OKAY??! No, despite what Play-Asia or even Koei Tecmo says, the real reason Xtreme 3 isn't coming to the West is that there jus is in Japan. There's a real cultural barrier here to ftake into account, but what really matters to Koei Tecmo is that those attitudes translate to ppor sales figures. It's simply not worth Koei a market for games of this type here in the US the way there https://archive.is/CVHxh The Real Reason Dead or Alive Tescmosem market when time and time again that markethas proven unreachable. Xtreme 3 Isn't Coming West According to VGChartz, 2003's Dear Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball has sold 0.59 million copies worldwide to date. Here's hb By Thomas Ella on November 26, 2015 sekdown by territory So it sold more in America?But there's no market for it? There's been a surprising amount of controversy recently surrounding publisher Koei Tecmo's .Japan: 0.14 million Europe: 0.08 million Rest of the world 0.02 million 3 outside of Japan. Naturally, everyone's been focusing on the statement the publisher gave fearing backlash in a climate sensitive to the treatment of women in gaming, but there's really Those numbers aren't great for a Call of Duty or a Battlefield, but for a game where women in only one reason the game isn't coming to the West: it won't sell. Xtreme 3 will be releasing a full decade after Xtreme 2 went on sale, and in that time, the game industry-and the world around it-has undeniably seen some dramatic changes that Team Ninja has rejected. In a 2012 interview with Gamasutra about the developers then- upcoming Dead or Alive 5, game director Yohei Shimbori even described a request from his bikinis bounce around and splash each other, they're pretty impressive. But by the time we get to 2006's Dead or Alive Xtreme 2, the numbers drop precipitously. Xtreme 2 has sold just 0.25 million worldwide to date, less than half of what Xtreme Beach Volleyball sold. The ratios by territory are roughly the same, but the numbers are much lower for each. Logic, then would predict that Xtreme 3 would continue the downward trend and sell even less. Given the huge drop in sales between those two games and how much the world has women's breasts to properly model the bounce and jiggle for Dead or Alive 5, and responded to allegations of sexism by claiming nothing more than a mission to create 'the cutest chicks in video games. much easier to save the money and headache by letting the niche market outside of Japan pay to import it. Yes, releasing the game in the West would stir up unwanted controversy for the company, but at the end of the day, the real reason the game isn't coming to the West is that it won't sell So don't worry, Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo aren't just suddenly uncomfortable with the idea of making a sexy game where sexy ladies do sexy stuff like this:

Soooooo, they develop a game fully aware it won't sell all that well in it's home country and "intentionally" decide to not localize it in countries with the most potential income because… it won't sell?

Whaaaaaa? And all that data can be found in that same article?

Seems legit.
