I know very well how Japanese support was from the very first Xbox, that I still own by the way. The number and variety of games that we get today in the West from third parties has been largely addressed.You should check some of the japanese games Xbox was getting during the original Xbox or 360 (many were even exclusives) if you think this is the best Xbox has ever been interns of Japanese games.
This "Phil Spencer is the best" posts are getting out of hand lol.
Let's take some examples...
OG Xbox had close to zero anime adaptations ported to it. Nowadays, you get everything on Xbox : DBZ, Naruto, One Piece, Gundam, Sword Art Online, Jojo etc...
Another example is about the major J-RPG series. We have pretty much the entire FF series (except for what is being paid for by Sony of course, thanks Sony !), Dragon Quest, Persona, Yakuza, Tales of etc... None of these were on OG Xbox, many weren't on 360 either.
We get games from Spike Chunsoft as well, with Dangan Ronpa or AI Somnium Files... Hoping to get Shiren 5+ someday.
Fighting games too (well, unless Sony pays to privatize SF and KOF, thanks Sony !). Guilty Gear and Blazblue are coming to Xbox as well, we also have Melty Blood (awesome game by the way).
Third party games have been well covered, there has been a huge improvement during the past years and it was obvious to all Xbox players.
Overall, we are still missing games that are more niche (Vanillaware and Falcom for example). I would be surprised that this doesn't get addressed at some point in the future.
You can be sure that NIS America is on the list of publishers to address by Phil/MS.Same story with GrimGrimoire Oncemore, it’s coming out on both Switch PlayStation but not on Xbox, which I don’t NIS America got payed by Sony to keep it from coming on Xbox.
