guy isn't the Xbox boss in Japan anymore? 

He resigned earlier.  Working in the west now

Sounds only logical with his crazy love for western games^^

Also awesome for Geometry Wars, first two games were some of my favourites on 360.



Why do you guys thinks whoever is head of Japan stands a chance?

Consoles are dying over there, Xbox isn't popular, and it's America/Phil that pulls the strings.

Stop acting like the previous Japanese head could have made a bunch of deals happen, he couldn't.



 

Well currently Ps4 is outselling Xbox one on amazon us, Ms when will you bring those bundles back

Well, if the Japanese Xbox boss who could at least speak with Japanese devs made it pretty clear that he doesn't even care about Japanese games then yes, I think a new boss can at least improve the relationship with some smaller Japanese devs and if it's only about some indie games. 

He can obviously not buy a Japanese exclusive for 50 million or something but if these persons in the different regions (also those responsible for Xbox in Germany and other countries) couldn't do anything, they wouldn't have these positions. 

MS doesn't pay people for fun to let them sit in a chair without any responsibilities.

I think MS really said Ubisoft that they will only have the special CoD console bundle and the Asscreed bundle until the end of November if Ubisoft will agree to a deal with MS for Asscreed. I don't think that Sony just let Asscreed go to MS when Sony paid for it the last years, I think MS had to offer Ubisoft something big to get that deal and what they offered is what we see now.

Ms doesn't try anything with Dragon Age and didn't do much with the MCC which is pretty telling in my opinion. 



I'd rather MS just withdraw from Japan and buy Square and Capcom :P



 

Btw the whole week the only "Cyber Monday or Black Friday Week" deals for Xbox One on German Amazon were for the CoD bundle or the Asscreed bundle with Kinect, not even a deal for the console without Kinect (except the CoD console). I really start to wonder what's wrong with the people responsible for Xbox in Germany and if they are braindead or something.

Especially since there were some bad articles in big German newspapers because of the NSA scandal and the possibility of Kinect spying on you and blablabla they should push the console without Kinect but well...

You get PS4 bundles with GTA, with Far Cry 4 and so on in this crazy week and MS does nothing lol. There are bundles like PS4+2 controller+LBP3+camera for 399 and then MS has Xbox One with Asscreed for 399... Why don't you even try here, MS?



God sake the MCC UK lightning deal is postponed until 7:30pm. Hope they don't postpone it/remove it again :S

Woah, Xbox One doing better than the 360, even in Europe! :o


Thats also considering it has only been in many european countries for 2 months.  The whole "XBO was a failure"  was premature and ive given my reasons as to why multiple times throughout the year.
