Micorosft -  We've got Multiple First Party Japanese Games

Xbox boss Phil Spencer. Speaking with GameSpot at the Game Developers Conference last week, Spencer, who heads up Microsoft Studios, said he's optimistic about console gaming in Japan.

"Well, I don't think the number of gamers in Japan has gone down. We obviously haven't launched [the Xbox One in Japan] yet. I'll say we're doing more development in Japan right now than we've probably done in quite a while," Spencer said. "But the development community, I actually feel like there's a lot of great talent there for console games."

"I don't believe that console gaming is dead in Japan. I'm not Japanese, so I'm not the best person to talk about why I believe that. I don't have any kind of natural connection to it. But knowing my friends there and the things that they're interested in, and the games that are built there, I think we've got to find some genres of games that re-emerge," he added.

Overall, Spencer stressed that the Japanese market is "critical" and even teased that Microsoft has first-party games in development in the region.

"We remain committed to the Japanese market," Spencer said. "And I know our launch is a little further out, but we're going to be at Tokyo Game Show again, we've got first-party games being developed in Japan, and just as a creative entity itself, the Japanese development community, it's critical for us in the industry that we continue to invest there and see great games come out."

Wait, 1st party? Maybe he mispoke and meant to say 2nd party or 3rd party. It'd be a dream is they had 1st party games in development in Japan, but he already ruled out Microsoft Studios Osaka on Twitter twice. Maybe they have 1st party studios in Japan but they're not in Osaka? There was that star in Japan on the map of 1st party developers that Microsoft showed at the Xbox One unveiling.


Not a clue yet.  Maybe just owned ip's like Quantum Break, State of Decay, and Phantom Dust.  Maybe he considers that first party since they own the ip.

hah Yeah that's probably what he meant, Phantom Dust and maybe LO2. If they actually keep the Japanese games coming it'll be interesting to see how the Xbox One does.
