Take a look at the system's first print ad from overseas.
by Anoop Gantayat
July 1, 2005 - The biggest current generation Xbox game in Japan is Dead or Alive 3. That's right, nothing has topped Team Ninja's launch fighter in sales throughout the course of the system's life -- not even Dead or Alive Ultimate or Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball. Not even Blinx.
Appropriately enough, Dead or Alive 4 has the honor of being the first Xbox 360 game to be advertised overseas. Located on the back of the August issue of Famitsu Xbox, Japan's sole Xbox-only magazine, is an ad for the game. It resembles the previous Dead or Alive ads, right down to the catch copy: "the most beautiful in the world."
The ad lists a Winter release for the game (no change in status here). It also lists planned peripheral and device support for the game: Xbox Live, HDTV, Wide Television, Dolby Digital 5.1 and Hard Disk. This is how Team Ninja markets all its Xbox games.
We expect this to be just the first of many advertisements, many of which will appear in non Xbox-specific sources. As the first ad, though, this is somewhat of a collector's item, so to get it for yourself, pick up the August issue of Famitsu Xbox.
