Microsoft has done plenty in the past for Japanese market and they didn't budge. Lost Odyssey is still the best JRPG since its release yet that market didn't give an inch.

For a game to be a hit in Japan it needs a certain level of gimmicks involved in it. Ni No Kuni is a prime example. Average game outside of the Studio Ghibli collaboration.

Plus, Kojima's history with Playstation is obviously strong. There isn't anything MS could have done other than throw more money at him than Sony did, but in the end, I doubt this is not exactly a big loss for MS.

so why havent they kept Sakaguchi if they have done enough? or Team Artoon?

Sony hasn more western studios than Japanese, MS has no japanese studio
