Forums - Microsoft - Will the X1 get more or less Japanese support than the 360?

Less. Home consoles as a whole have lost most relevance there anyway and the PS4 will likely get most of the attention of the 8th gen roster over there as well.

The 360 had plenty of japanese exclusives and it didnt move the needle.

The X1 cant do anything. Its an issue on a deeper level.

Obviously, japanese developers are not gonna make japanese oriented games for a platform that has no install base. Actually... it hasnt even released nor does it have a release date in Japan.



Much less. X1 does not have the same advantages the Xbox360 had at the time.



Less, the PS4 is already out before the X1 and so far it doesn't look that the X1 will fare much better than the 360 when it does release there.



Less, heck MS shouldn't even try... Just looking at the 360 sales, Japan is over b4 it even begins for the X1

Why do people say that they should leave out the Japanese market? The Xbox One will surely sell more in Japan than in Norway, Iceland, Denmark, Finnland and probably many more.

In Japan, the primary use of purchasing a One would be for entertainment, not gaming, as Microsoft does not have the support of any of the core developers in Japan with the exception of Square (and even then it's a bit iffy). Microsoft would get no game sales, which would mean that there would be little in terms of profit for them, as they depend on software to make up for selling the console at near breaking even.

Probably less. I don't see MS investing that much in exclusives again.
Still absolutely no reason not to release the console there.



At the rate the PS4 is selling, Japanese devs won't even bat an eye towards the Bone. Not that they have been doing much with the 360.



 

Well, if they do, at least now I'll be able to import games. I always wanted that damned Store Simulator game for 360 that never made it overseas >_>



I think it'll receive way less support.
