Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft’s Phil Spencer: Xbox One Will “Deliver the Best Content” When it’ll Launch in Japan

Head of Microsoft Game Studios Phil Spencer has been vocal about the fact that Japan is still a focus market for Microsoft and Xbox, despite the abysmal local performance of the Xbox 360, and while talking to Asahi Digital he expressed great confidence in the content Xbox One will deliver to the archipelago of the Rising Sun when the console will launch.

 We would like you to believe in our commitment to the Japanese market.

When Xbox One will launch in Japan, we will deliver the best content.

I can imagine the Japanese journalist responding “Those are fighting words, Spencer-san.”

Jokes aside, that’s quite a tall promise, especially for a market like Japan that has been notoriously very resistant to the penetration of the Xbox brand. Will Spencer and his studios manage to deliver on the promise? We’ll have to wait and see about that.

This could mean anything. He didnt say the best content across all platforms so who knows what he could be talking about

 

This should be interesting though

Well by saying 'best' he must have, by the definition of the word, compared it to something, right?

I doubt it. But I await with interest why he feels he can say this.... without looking like a dick at some point in the future.


he didnt specifically say japanese content. ryse, forza and other games and content will be on the xbox when it launches in japan. he cant look like a dick because he said this, he didnt really say japanese content or content that japanese gamers love.
