They were actually going after the Japanese market back then. I guess maybe they thought it was tooo Japanese. Good on the producer for sticking to his guns. The Japanese gaming industry trying to replicate what the west was doing was a mistake. |
The JPN push came with the 360 and not so much the original Xbox, which is where it would have released had ms said yes.
So it's not that surprising.
