The reason is simple - games not sell well enough to justify the ports. Unfortunately not only Japanese games, but some smaller Western indie titles as well. It's a chicken and egg scenario - the audience is not here, but it won't come unless the games are here. Microsoft either need to open their thick wallet just to pay for the ports, which will guarantee the games coming, but not the audience I guess, or do something revolutionary with next-gen Xbox like Nintendo did with Switch in order to drastically expand Xbox user base. |
First of all the Western indie issue is a vice versa one we have games releasing earlier on Xbox ( Nobody save the world as an example) from devs that were Ps only and games like Rogue Legacy 2 who were/are still not on PS while Rogue legacy was a big exclusive hit on PS3.
Instead of just getting ports also invest in them but MS is so slow, they had so much time to invest and expand their studios and have plenty of Japanese projects/IP's but their actions show they barely care.
