Maybe MS are trying to make some market for their intended Scorpio, I guess 3 years have past X1 isn't there at all when it comes to Japan, they slashed the price, and now they are bringing the Slim, and their Boss is talking about Japanese Companies bringing their games to their platform, I guess MS missed big on Tales & Persona but I think they are talking exclusives here so what could be on their hands?

This is a big thing I don't like about Phil Spencer...
Everytime he talks about the Xbox One he has to refer to Playstation 4 in any kind of way...

I am glad he/they aren't even trying, means I'm not missing out on any games :3

What would be the point in gaining Japan. You will only get around 6-7 million sales lifetime in Japan at best. Look at Sony. They aren't doing too well their either.

Getting more games on your console is the point

Getting more games that no one really cares about except a niche group that is continuingly shrinking.

Persona 5 outsold Quantum break in FW, in Japan only vs worldwide

It's good they keep trying but nothing they do will change XB perception in Japan. It's a 100% dead system there. MS can get all the JRPG's the PS4 has and it still wouldn't sell, hence no JRPG's on XB1. It has 0 fanbase for those types of games.

Nonsense. Its completely necessary. Its already been shown time and again that they will ignore the Xbox One in favor of just doing a PlayStation version, or maybe a Vita version. If MS gets the ball rolling, and show that their games can be made on Xbox One with little extra effort, and that its a extra market for their products, then they might start doing it themselves. But until then MS needs to step up.

Besides Sony already does this and nobody complains.

Extra effort? It SHOULD take less effort to put their games on Xbox One than port games PS3 or Vita. PS4 and X1 have similar specs and arcitecture, unlike PS3 and Vita.

If countless indie studios can support both PS4 and X1, then so can Japanese studios. Ignoring Xbox is ignoring a signficiant western audience, go figure.

Exactly. Thats why MS needs to do this themselves, and make a port team that will bring those games to Xbox.
