Yes, I've been wondering this as well. While I love my Series X, to this point it's still nothing more than a souped-up XBox One since there are hardly any exclusive games for it so far. I really don't understand how the Series is so much more popular in Japan when it really doesn't do anything more than the XBox One, which barely sold anything there, and it doesn't have any big Japanese games like the 360 had. Game Pass has been around since 2020 in Japan, maybe it's just been a slow adoption of that? But even then, what games on Game Pass are hitting for Japanese gamers? Minecraft and Human Fall Flat are popular in Japan, but it's gotta be more than that I think.... |
This is where you're getting it wrong. Xbox One launched with no BC and no GP, so early adopters had a pretty limited selection of games on it. XS/X, on the other hand, already has 4 generations of games available, and with GP now people have access to hundreds of them for pretty cheap. When you add to that the $300 Series S option, I think it is safe to say that there has never been a better time for newcomers (and previous 360 owners) to jump into the Xbox ecosystem.
