Does it? I think they made some neat stuff happen on Xbox and Xbox 360 even if it never panned out in terms of commercial success.
At which point they lost interest, or started meddling with creative direction in order to make more saleable product.
Either way, No Bueno.
Cross posting from the next gen thread:
I’ve always held the position that when it comes to Japan Xbox is just meddling. They have no market share there, the Japanese dont want them, and the game Sell a fraction of what they do compared to PS4 here in the west. At this point the only thing fueling Xbox in Japan is spite against PlayStation.
I See these ridiculous studio acquisition wish list from Xbox fans like from software or whoever with no regard whatsoever if it’s even good for the studio, which it would be a catastrophe for. There’s no desire to even play the game or want the game it’s just to spite and undermine PlayStation.
Have the same feeling, ever since PS360 days. Hope Japan devs don't fall for it like they did back then.
Fair enough, but I think things might be different with Phil Spencer at the helm. Historically, Xbox has always been under the "Windows" group umbrella. With Phil Spencer's promotion to senior leadership in 2017 and Satya Nadella's renewed comittment to Xbox as its own group within Microsoft, I think there is potential for far less "losing of interest" as before when priorities shifting elsewhere in the company could completely change Xbox's direction regardless of what the Xbox business team wanted to do.
Spencer here always tells the same thing or is it just me?
Imagine...Phil buying Nintendo again?
People on xbox don't care about Japanese games, at all. If they did they probably would be a PS customer.
Reads like a Trump tweet about his rallies.
But the naysayers (as you put it) have been right about the Japanese market as far as consoles since 2001, of course, I would say he is making his best speech about not abandoning the hardware... but as far as "services" via MS Store ,good luck there... big publishers aren't going to invest in that, generally speaking... Games for Windows Live taught a lot of lessons.
Even when MS was throwing money around Japan in the original Xbox days, sales still sucked.
Daily marketing and silly Pr isn't going to help anything, Microsoft has to actually find a business model and execute.
Don’t get it twisted. It’s not a lie with Trump, there is energy and excitement at his rallies. He sells out stadiums and then some.
Just how it is worded. It’s exuberant marketing. I have a feeling they are reeling in a Japanese exclusive or two that does well in the West.
I think we may see some surprise multiplatform game announcements but i dont think there will be any timed exclusives. Look at all the franchises that literally died going xbox exclusive just last generation, Star Ocean, Ace Combat, and new IP's like Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon couldve been big hits are completely dead. Im aware MS funded the LO and BD.
Absolutely agree. Its like fake fun, you know when you go to some organize event like for school or work or big family gathering... and they are over-blowing the thing.
"Bowling is crazy time!!!!!"

Studio head marketing product on Twitter. More at 11.
Phil "The Salt" diSpencer
This is up to Sega.Just give bring PSO2 to Europe Phil and we are good
I do get giddy inside. We at least get stuff from Microsoft. Jim Ryan’s still in hiding since he kicked Shawn Layden to the curb.

We get games from Sony though, no?
Sony gave us Nier, Yakuza, and Final Fantasy? I had no idea. Congrats !!
What the hell are you talking about!!? Switch has both First and third party exclusive Japanese games on their system while Xbox only gets Japanese games are are already available on PS4.One could argue that the Japanese support on Xbox is actually better than on Switch
We get games from Sony though, no?
The only Japanese games ever made, eh?
All that matters. The one that farts the loudest has nothing to show.
Well the thread is about Japanese games not Sony’s 1st party so I just listed a few games Phil has delivered to the Xbox platform.
I can explain my post fairly easily.
Can you?

Most Japanese games Xbox gets I can already get on my PS4 while Switch has Japanese games I can't get either on PS4 or Xbox. This biggest reason why I buy Sony and Nintendo systems because both give exclusive Japanese games while Xbox gives none that, if thats gonna continue with Xbox Series X then have no reason to get their system.So Nier, Code Vein, Monster Hunter World, the complete Final Fantasy collection, and Yakuza are on Switch?
That’s funny I can’t seem to find them on the eshop but I do see all those on Xbox.
Why don’t you post a link so that we can support these major Japanese releases on Switch?
What does MS’s share of the insignificant Japanese console market have to do with Phil’s efforts to bring Japanese games to Xbox gamers?
It’s like you’re having a completely different conversation.
And you telling us that Japanese devs aren’t interested in Xbox fresh off the heels of those devs making deal after deal with MS is like you exist in a completely different universe.
Put down the Cheerios and poke your head outside. You’ll find this thing called reality waiting for you.
