It's not a psychological barrier, it's a valid argument why Xbox is unattractive at the moment for a lot of people and for a part explains why PS4 has sold 60 milion units while Xbone is at 25M or so. Games sell systems. I'm talking about the standpoint of a consumer who doesn't have a Xbox. What will make it attractive to me? The fan base for JPN games on Xbox is quite low, the fan base waiting on PS4 ports is even lower cuz they prolly already got it on PS4. How much did FFXV sell on PS4? 80-90% of total sales? It made sense to bring it to Xbox because of how huge the game is and justified a port but it might not be wise to port smaller games like Nier where a port might not be profitable. Otherwise Xbox would've been getting all the ports if it made sense.

What I'm talking about is why do you care if Japanese games are like say, Witcher or GTA or Assassin's Creed... on every consoles. Are you going to tell me these games are bad and don't drive sales? Games made by Sony or MS I don't care if they are exclusives that's not what we are talking about in this thread.  There used to be a good relationship between Japanese devs and MS but MS screwed things up and are now trying to fix things and the question is: "shouldn't we encourage them to do so instead of mocking them for trying?"

You seem to go agains't the idea of them trying because for some reasons... who cares if Sony is ahead? MS can still get these games for those that prefer Xbox, why should it be to convince you to buy one? You may not realize it but imo it really is a barrier you set up between you and the fun you can have with games by not caring whether they are exclusive or not or if they are on another platform or if that platform sells the most... 

PS4 owners like me dont want an Xbox for the same games, how can MS sell us their Xboxes? By doing something different and giving us games not available on PS4.

I dont think you know the history of MS and Japan. People liked that era because they had their own exclusives, from JSRF to Lost Odyssey.

People dont care about PS2 ports nor PS4 ports on Xbox. They want new experiences they cant get on Playstation. PS4 ports are gonna bomb on Xbox, thats why no one is porting games, the publishers did the math, they know where the audience is, they dont drive extra sales on Xbox.

Why would I buy Xbox if it's getting DQ11 or Nier when I can get them on PS4, I dont need an extra system for that. It's all about MS trying to make their system attractive to potential customers, and they aint doing it by giving us PS4 owners PS4 ports. Not sure what's so hard to understand.

Also it's not me who has an issue with exclusives it's you, you seem really defensive about it, to me it means nothing, whether MS brings something new to the table and convince us non-Xbox owners to buy their system is up to them.
