Microsoft should launch the Xbox 2 in the US first, then in Europe, and then delay the Japan launch a couple of times until people forget that the thing is not available there. Not many people will notice its absence

But seriously, Microsoft have to really consider if their effort down there is worth their time and money.

Not even the X360 could make it there, let alone the X1 which is seriously lacking JRPGs and all that good stuff.

So the Switch has done it twice in a row now?

Even the Vita might able to pull that on release of big software.

Kerotan, Why don't you make a counter for each time PS4, 3DS and Switch had a week bigger than X1 LTD at the time?

Why didn't you make one for the Switch?

I tell people this all the time. It likely costs more to keep Xbox going in Japan over any revenue it gets. So they'll continue to take the black eye of the being the lowest selling console there by far, over admitting defeat. I'm not sure it's worth it. 

Should have pulled out.... LOL

Mod Edit ~ CGI

Not really a big deal at all considering Xbox sells like radioactive cancer in Japan.

Because making threads to get under the skin of Xbox fans isn't a very good idea.

Edit - Locking this up. 

It's happened multiple times already, and the Switch has also done it numerous times. The Xbox isn't big in Japan. We get it.
