Might not be a bad idea launching a year later, they're not abandoning Japan, they've just created a studio their to make JRPG's 0_o

Perhaps they want to give it a proper launch with Japanese games.

What studio is that?

"studio osaka", specialized to make games for the japanese market.

Have they released anything?  I've never heard of the studio before.  Or are they too new and just have stuff in the pipeline?

and seriosly guys, just because a console doesn't release everywhere at the same time doesn't mean it won't release there later or that microsoft doesn't care about these markets. the amount of consoles they can produce will be the same. if first shipments won't sell out, they will release earlier in other markets. if they will sell out, people would complain in those countries that there weren't enough consoles for their country.

their problem is that they are behind their plans and won't have many consoles at launch. splitting those to 50 countries would be crazy.

Interesting. I've never heard of them before this post. I'll be looking into it now.

yes i think a very new studio and it was a surprise for many to hear about that studio not long ago. maybe they make one or two games for the japan launch.

Even though the console isn't coming out in Asia in 2014, Major Nelson confirms they will be at TGS. I wonder if they opened up that wallet again for Japan support or will this be the debut of Microsoft Studios Osaka.
