Might not be a bad idea launching a year later, they're not abandoning Japan, they've just created a studio their to make JRPG's 0_o

Perhaps they want to give it a proper launch with Japanese games.

What studio is that?

"studio osaka", specialized to make games for the japanese market.

and seriosly guys, just because a console doesn't release everywhere at the same time doesn't mean it won't release there later or that microsoft doesn't care about these markets. the amount of consoles they can produce will be the same. if first shipments won't sell out, they will release earlier in other markets. if they will sell out, people would complain in those countries that there weren't enough consoles for their country.

their problem is that they are behind their plans and won't have many consoles at launch. splitting those to 50 countries would be crazy.
