We all know that the Xbox brand in Japan isn't exactly the top cat. It is, in fact, the bottom cat. With that in mind, I think I've stumbled across a way to increase Xbox One sales by a significant margin.
Please bear with me.
I was thinking about how I'm going to have to call DirecTV again, which I dread. Their automated phone system is always a huge hassle for me. Last time, it could not understand the word "no", which I had to repeat a dozen times. Eventually, I just started cussing at it. This time, I was thinking about going right from the start with curses and rage. I had a bit of a chuckle, though, when I thought how funny it would be if the phone system answered back with its own verbal attacks. That would be entertaining, right? And what if Kinect 2.0 did the same? I bet in Japan ...
Eureka.
It was revealed recently that the new game Freedom Wars would have vocalization functions for your android companion. In short, you could make her tsundere if you wanted. The tsundere personality type is very popular with the otaku culture. It means someone who isn't honest with their feelings and thus acts hostile toward the person they like. Now, imagine if Kinect had vocalization software?
User: "Xbox, I want to watch The Longest Tuber."
Xbox: "So annoying ... but I wanted to watch it anyway, so I'll play it. I'm not doing it for you, though!"
I would imagine that a 'little sister' package would also be very popular.
User: "Xbox, play Magnetic Cats."
Xbox: "Onii-chaaan! I - love - you! (giggles)"
Honestly, I think this would boost Xbox One sales by a bunch. There are lots of other personality types, too--though I hope no one wants the yandere. Agree? Disagree? Please leave your opinion in the comment section below.
