MIcrosoft : "Japan ? Is that one of these Pokemon I keep hearing about ?"

He might think that because they had to buy Blue Dragon and Idolm@ster and are still salty it didn't work.

Well comparing Xbox 360 to One sales it looks like it worked a whole lot. Not enough to compete with Sony/Nintendo there, but without doing that they can't even sell 1k a week.

Well, given that they had to "buy" 3 games that i remember of (well mystro made me remember lost odyssey) and that they kinda tried with marketing back then, I'm not sure One is less profitable than 360 in Japan (I just remembered they got Cave's shmups too, but they didn't need to buy these the sticks were just the best for shmups at the time)
