Its better to try and fail rather than not try at all, and it perplexes me that money spent on timed exclusivity is seen as vital but money spent on enticing one of the largest markets is considered "A waste". Especially, when Microsoft has more money then its competitors. I guess this is what Satya meant when he said Xbox wasn't a core part of Microsoft's business. |
You know MS went down that route of enticing the Japanese market with the 360 and it really did not put a dent in sales there. Some things really cannot be solved by money or for that matter even games. Shifting a culture from considering a US made game console over the home grown would take more money than even MS is willing to risk As many have said, even the PS4 isn't selling so what would be a realistic expectation for the X1. Its better for MS to keep a presences then over spend like they did last gen only to still have the Japanese pretty much shun their product.
