Who's pretending?

Not that we hear too many people pushing it anymore, but the theory that the PS4 was selling better than the XBO largely because of global availability is looking pretty suspect.

The XBO should still get a decent bump for the week following, but seeing as how MS hasn't exactly pinned their hopes and dreams on tier 2 regional sales, maybe those remaining hold outs will do likewise.

Japan will never like any American products, so who cares.


This is not true at all.

There are no Japanese games at launch for them to buy. They will buy it as soon as these Japanese games launch.


What Japanese games have they announced?

Isn't scale bound Japanese? Phantom dust? D4? Phil said they have multiple Japanese games in development. They will be announced at some point.

So Japan hates American products? Im not exactly shocked. Oh wait, the rest of world hates American products too? Im still not shocked. It wouldn't matter if they had the best line-up in game history and the damn machine was 5 dollars or yen or whatever, they would still lose. Seems like just a huge opportunity for a sony circle jerk to me. No one can say they are shocked by this.

They are certainly Japanese games. But I should have clarified my point. What "Japan-centric" games have they announced? Like persona 5, dragon quest or yakuza; which are basically system seller in Japan. No offense but I dont think Xbox One will get much Japan centric games in future.
