Two more major Japanese publishers have announced support for Microsoft's next-generation console, with software development for the platform already underway at both Sega and From Software, according to a Famitsu report.
With only three weeks to go before the system is unveiled in a special MTV show on May 12th, many key publishers are rushing to confirm that they are working on it - such as THQ and EA, who earlier this week revealed that next-gen work is in progress. The support of the Japanese industry is particularly important for Microsoft, however, since the original Xbox failed to make any headway in that territory - with the blame often pinned on the lack of locally developed software.
