"If anything, it's Microsoft's loss"
Its MS loss because they wasted money. that is all. If I was head of xbox I would have not even bothered.
"Oh, and last gen, whatever the PS3 got outsold by in NA, it recovered that gap in Japan. So I'd say it still has an impact."
And yet MS have been turning a profit on XBOX since 2007..and to a company that is about money, that is what matters. Not whether you can beat sony ...
"welp that one less excuse xbox fans can say to damage control the xbox one's failure"
MS has NEVER done well in Japan...what makes you think Xbox owners have to defend that, to anybody? It is what it is.
I dont think he "fell" for anything. A gamer trolled him, so he handled it like any money making exec. He just gotta roll with the punches and said niz, on the situation.

Amercian cars do NOT sell well in japan. They tend to smoke their own cigarretes too btw. they buy into apple and american clothing brands because these items are tied to one of the few things they do like about america...its pop culture and fashion.
Its their loss. Their passiveness to the Xbox brand is a waste of MS, money.MS does not need to do well in japan to succeed, this was evident last gen. They still cracked 80M....All they need from japan is japanese development support. And they only need to do well in other markets to please those devs. as of now, I say Ms should just ignore the japanese gamer. leave them with their japanese games and their japanese consoles (well... handhelds), if that is all they want.
Its the "big american box". Even if X1 had every japanese ip they cared about exclusively...they would STILL have a reason to not buy it, like "its too big". There is always something.
MS should just let it go. Focus on other markets and using their financial/ marketing power to generate interest in japanese games on their console, outside of japan. The japanese deve gets the benefit of global exposure of their game ( we ALL know how good MS is with adver...
Bungies past and bungies future in one bundle. Thats pretty heavy, Doc!I know a few people who are going to jump on this. One game gives you the best competitive MP ever as well as that classic co op story mode... The other is an all new co op adventure that is going to span a decade. Throw in a copy of FH2 and the free games with gold, and the buyers of this bundle are set for the winter :)
"Home consoles are a wash over there."
Hate to say it, but... yup. handhelds..well more specifically the DS rules japan's gaming world.
I still dont fancy, their chances out there. But I wish them all the best anyways.
Ferrari GTO...As in 288GTO, I hope, or the 599GTO...better yet..just give me both :)
The competitive MP in this game, just doesnt do it for me. Just as well, because I am more interested in the coop aspects of destiny.
Fulgar the barbarian....From the time I saw the references to rastan, I was like "yeaaaah booooy!" I loved that game on my commodore amiga!
Looking forward to these games!
I agree with you. Worse thing is if you disagree with them , you are now considered to be some kind of sexist cavemen. I never heard of any of these people before I started seeing articles about them everywhere... And I still dont care about any of these people.
And that, Sarkeesian... I find her reasoning laughable, after hearing her speak on watchdog... No..I dont want to check that, the female NPC is OK...I want to chase the bad guy..its a video game. Remember? Would she b...
*looks at disagrees*
Damn...you guys got zero faith in bioware, huh? lol
It is when you consider that one console has twice the install base as the other. Devs have nothing to gain from "gimping" a PS4 game when, that version is likley the one that will sell more... give devs more credit than that.
Its MS that are losing out in Dev support ( as so clearly demonstrated by the indies) and sales, bboth partly due to having the weaker console...that is no secret...the average joe knows that AND still thinks the xbox cant play used games. That i...
Until a new elder scrolls game comes out! :)
Witcher is going to be great though. And there is still the prospect of the next mass effect game being a return to form, for Bioware
No M. Bison? BS, list.
Unless you own an x1, I dont see how PS4 owners are paying for anything MS, does, with regards to X1.
Why do people STILL come out with this crap? Put the tin foil hat away.
@theshredded
*Looks at dewitts list* Nah, shreddy..you are own your own with that statement. Ill be enjoying, FH2, Halo, SSO, Ori and all the multiplats. I dont even own a WiiU but I certainly dont feel like I will miss owning one over Xmas, thanks to my X1. Im buying the odd multiplat for PS4 though, if they are just single player and have better graphics. everything else (exlusives and multiplats with multiplayer modes)I get on X1. Cant wait for dragon age origins and AC:u...
@The_Infected
"As far as gameplay, features, and content that's debatable."
LOL...forza horizon is already proven in all of those areas. If anything it is DC, that has a lot to prove.
