| Shadow1980 said: They put in a good amount of effort a decade ago with the 360. It didn't work. The 360 sold better than the original Xbox, but it still sold poorly and those high-profile Japanese exclusives did not do well at all. Not a single 360 title sold more than 250k copies, and only a handful sold over 100k. Even by the standards of the smaller Japanese console market, that's terrible. It's no surprise that the XBO had far fewer notable Japanese exclusives. And it's not going to improve. Few if any Japanese developers will willingly put out an exclusive title for a system that has an install base of less than 78,000 units in their home country. Japanese XBO owners will still see ports of multiplatform games, as well as MS's own Western output, but exclusive Japanese titles will be exceedingly rare. |
The problem is they were starting to gain ground, then Mattrick replaced the one who had been promoting the incursion into hostile territory and their Japanese incursion lost funding.
And as we know, lack of funding leads to lack of games...
