I understood what you meant but I disagree with "that doesn't mean that the X1 lacks diversity". If MS wants xbox just be to be a western device, yes it's library is diverse enough for that but if it wants to be an appealing console to the world, it needs a more diverse library. It not just selling in one market but in many countries. MS needs to understand that. What's the point of selling a "US box" in other countries if it's only gonna cater to one country? Is it meant to have a token presence every where else except the states? Globally in the US....
I'm not really talking about just japanese games but RPG's in general. It doesn't have many compared to the PS4. Xbox has always lacked RPG's. That alone makes it's library less diverse than the any playstation console.

Home consoles for the most part are a western devices. PS4 has done pretty well outside the west, but their primary focus is the west by a large margin. Even the Sony games that come out of Japan are geared towards western gamers.
Again, I would give the diversity edge to PS4. But it doesn't really matter, its NOT diversity that has given PS4 a significant sales edge. Xbox 360 did just fine with less diversity than PS3.
People aren't buying PS4 for diversity. They are buying PS4 for the same stuff they bought last gen. CoD, AC, BF, Fifa, Madden, a medicore Halo game called Desinty, a bad GTA/AC game called Watch Dogs, and ofcourse GTAV...
Sales of exclusive software is surprisingly close between PS4 and X1 considering the massive disparity in userbase. So we can't say PS4 is doing great due to Sony pumping out amazing games.
You're so concerned about diversity and a large library but there is already more on X1 than most people have the time to play. I have like 20 games in my X1 backlog in various genres and more keeps coming. Your complaints are just out of touch with the average consumer.
