Like Recore, like Scalebound, and once again, like the games Spencer wants to get by going to Japan ("I'll be in Japan talking to third party publishers" seems clear enough). "Being unable to get Japanese games regularly" is not the same thing as "Not wanting to develop Japanese games". 

Phil removed scalebound and  putting more time and effort in the UK and US market for game development. Which is the right choice. Forza Horizon 3 sold over 2.5 million retail and apperently that is just from NPD. Not including europe or digital. Microsoft is putting more and more focus on games that can be juggernaughts for the future. Another game that could pull it off is State of decay 2 because the original game broke records. More than what any Japanese niche game could ever hope for.

You're trying to show the cancellation of Scalebound as a well-thought strategy when it was just a failure and they cut their losses as much as they could. Not a "right choice", a failure with no other choice. They wanted that game and advertised it a lot, they were betting on it, the development failed, that's it. No "They decided that less Japanese games is better" in that.

 

"More and more focus on games that can be juggernaughts for the future"... Like Halo and Gears, Halo and Gears, Halo and Gears? Oh, sorry, Halo/Gears/Forza, Halo/Gears/Forza, Halo/Gears/Forza? Did the future really repeat itself every year for the last 10 years?
