How's the identity of Fifa, Destiny and Cod in Japan? Untouched? It is not a secret that most Japanese games enthusiasts are on PS. If Japanese devs/publishers aren't willing to at least attempt to grow a fanbase on Xbox, then what's their purpose on business wise? Just like Nintendo. A year ago there was a strong demand for Xenoblade copies, they refused to print/release more copies. Guess who covered those demands on a timely manner with a gouging price? Gamestop. |
Call of Duty Ghosts didn't even break 1m units on ALL platforms in Japan, hell I don't think it even sold 0.5m, if that's not niche idk what is. Destiny failed to sell 0.5m either. A sports game is a really bad example, sports are the same in every country. Those are some really bad examples.
Japanese devs didn't try to grow a fanbase on Xbox? You must have missed all those Japanese exclusive games that were on the 360. Some developers like the Tales of team almost went out of business because they made a game exclusively on 360, a series that was around for over a decade almost ended because they made a game exclusive on Xbox even with a bag of cash from Microsoft, that's a great sign for other Japanese developers to take a risk and invest in putting their game on Xbox.
You don't try to grow a fanbase over and over when it fails every time, that's by definition insane.
