If only they kept Scalebound. Not even sure if it would be worth it for Microsoft to even try, I doubt anyone in Japan are even aware of the existence of an Xbox, albeit it would probably need a name change for that country specifically.
I do see from the sales chart that Japanese Xbox gamers seem to have a liking for Forza. Maybe Forza Horizon 5 should be in Japan. Horizon 3 sold 20k units in Japan (physical), out of 95k Xbox units sold in the country, those are really good numbers. With Horizon 5 in 2020, and Xbox Scarlett expected by 2020, I think there is great potential for a good launch. By then Scalebound should be a thing again, surely if they want to fully enter a new market.
I personally wouldn't buy any Japanese like game if it has to do with anime, but I would buy a game like Scalebound. It's like a mix of western and Japanese in the sense that it isn't perverted like anime is. The only Japanese games I have ever bought are just simple old Nintendo titles (Maybe going to try Nier now that is on Xbox, because the PC port is still unfixed).
