"The result, Microsoft found, was that Game Pass members spent 20% more time playing games than they did before signing up. And not just with Game Pass games, but with other games on the Xbox One as well. The company also saw a 40% increase in how many games a subscriber plays, and again, that wasn’t just for Game Pass titles, but all titles on the system. They also found that franchises with multiple entries would see a significant increase in the purchase of other games if one of the t...

Why
How to writing sad?
You do realize you are part of this sad community of gamers that visit gaming websites to pass the time.
I like to write long and thoughtful explanations and if you don't like reading then it's just you. This is something I use to publish on other websites, so if you think it's a waste of time then you should think again because I make money from it.
You do realise that Tales of xilia, Tales of xilia 2, Tales of zeteria, and Tales of Besteria and currently not on Xbox right. There are many more like one of the Ace series was exclusive to Xbox and one of the Tekken didn't release on Xbox. All that happened past 2010 when the suits at Ms abandoned Japan to focus on kinect.
I have no link to the board that was discussing this but I know that Bandai Namco found that Ms were really hard to work with and it was then that their t...
There are lots of things that happened with Xbox post 2010 and why Xbox didn't follow through with Japanese studios.
Phil has mended the bonds with Bandai Namco that Don mattrick damaged with his mismanagement of their games in the past.
Now all Phil needs to do is hire someone competent enough to lead Xbox in Japan.
I mentioned above a strategy with game pass and how they could get Japanese publishers to release games on Xbox.
Another majors...
Is this coming out on other consoles and PC?
Square better do as it seems to be a success.
Part 2
"Do you really believe this hype man who works for a company that didn't even create Japanese studios this Gen to promote their style of games to the west on Xbox one?"
I'm just gonna bring up a comment I made on a previous page which explaining the mess Phil had to deal with.

It's clear that you didn't comprehend what I wrote.
Let me break it down in simple terms:
-Putting the game on Gamepass would lead to exposure of the games, something that the Japanese publishers have a hard time doing.
-People subscribed to Gamepass would see the game they would give it a go. They would get access to the game without paying a full price, which is a barrier for most people. (Think of Gamepass as a place where you can demo...
LOOL...obviously Heavy Rain, Beyond two souls and Detroit.
Don Mattrick and Steve Balmer set Xbox back a decade worth of games and studios with what they did. I want Ms to go back to the early year of the X360 when they were proper dishing out games like crazy. Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon and a plethora of Jrpg that were exclusive. X360 had everything in their bag to win last gen but they blew it all by focusing on Kinect in 2010 and that was the last year Ms blew it out of the park with exclusive.
If we had Phil and Satya in charge...
I hope it's not Fable, Rare should be the one taking on Fable.
Guys, you need to remember....everytime after screenshots are released it is subsequently followed by a trailer or gameplay footage.
Very well said....but you do realize he's a troll right.

...I think he was being sarcastic
The characters and the environment don't compliment each other.
Shenmue 3, Ni no Kuni, Persona 5, Yakuza and many more that are ps exclusive because Ms doesn't push through to the publishers and get them on their consoles. It's only recently that Japanese publishers have been releasing their games on the PC market and finding great success there, they should give Xbox a go.
Truth is those Japanese developers don't find the point of releasing on Xbox because of the lack of interest mostly by the western gamers. The Xbox is ha...
WOW....ermmm...I think when reviewing a game, people should really take into consideration some development history before giving a verdict.
Ninja theory is a single player developer
The Initiative has a Darrell Gallagher who rebboted the new Tomb Raider.
Playground games are working on an RPG game.
Yeah, I didn't block you, something must be wrong with the PM on N4G. Let me copy what I wrote in the PM.
I use boomerang rentals as well :)
But the difference its digital and doesn't have the hassle of waiting for a game to come to your place and waiting for those updates to download when it does arrive. With boomerang rentals, if you break it down from when you rent a game to when it adds up to a week off your rental of just waiting.
Rent 1 gam...
