Of course, this does not mean that there aren’t any racing aficionados on Xbox that want to drift, and the developers realize that.Īs such, there are still a handful of modern games out there that focus on drifting or have drifting as an integral part of the experience. The second reason might simply be the fact that drifting has always enjoyed more popularity in Japan, an area where the Xbox has always struggled. This could be due to one of two reasons: The first is that drift mania only became a part of the American culture during the tuner years, and as sad as it is for someone who grew up on NFS Underground 2 to say, the 2000s are long over. While racing games are fairly common on the Xbox and have been for a long time, there is one element that does not seem to be as focused upon: Drifting.
