Of all the games in the trailer, there are only two games that might appeal to the Japanese market.

Lol, they should have released a comercial like that in the US rather than marketing all that NFL & Kinect stuff.

This is the exact same ad they used to advertise in the US...I couldnt find the actual video so here's one with it in it.

Needs more JRPGs...
Love the catchy song though!
7/10 even though it's not going to help much :(
Hope they got some surprises at TGS.

If I were Japanese, this would make me want a Xbox One.

If you can see how that makes no sense, you are the winner.

It's all a bunch of Western games that Japanese gamers won't care about...

And two games that are going to sell incredibly more on, and give a much larger HW boost to, the PS4.  I see the One selling 1M tops in Japan, if we are to be serious about things.

don't forget there are still many foreigners working in japan, and i believe many of them were XB fans so it will still have a launching hype for these people, after that will depend on how M$ get whatever up coming exclusives they have to attract japanese gamers...

I doubt those foreigners are even 0.5% of the Japanese population lol

Not seen this on tv once, and there are no banners/setups for xbox one preorders/advertising in any of my local big-name stores either, frankly they could show this on tv here on constant loop and it would still bomb.
