I think most of Xbox Demographic is Western RPG and Shooter gamers heaven :) I know you guys really wanna get Final Fantasy 7 remake so bad Phil Spencer needs to add more JRP in gamepass would be cool Phil Spencer wrote a huge check for more JRPG goodness thank goodness for Persona 5 but It's mostly Sega being lovey How hard did you guys enjoyed Yakuza 7 JRPG turn based?

I am 100% the Xbox demographic lol. All my days with the original Xbox were Western RPG’s and shooters! But in more recent times I have been wanting to delve more into JRPG’s and it’s great to see Xbox delve further into that genre. There’s Xbox fans that for sure want to see more Japanese games on Xbox! And those days are coming :)

If Activision deal doesn't go through, Do you think Microsoft will do the unthinkable and get a Japanese publisher and who will it be since Ubisoft is tied with Tencent? remember those Japanese publishers are no minecraft or COD so they will go through easier I can tell?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Microsoft goes after a Japanese publisher regardless if the Activision deal goes through or not. I just wouldn’t expect it to happen anytime soon after the deal finalizes. I also don’t have any idea what hurdles Microsoft would have to go through to acquire a Japanese company though. I imagine it would be harder. 

Sega has always been my bet. They were really comfy together in the original Xbox days and they are again now.

I suggest it would be wiser to get someone like Bandai Namco and not Sega you made me put my shield there like I put my shield on others. How about work that Microsoft bag of unlimited cash wave 30 billion in front of Namco Bandai you'll Get Dragon Ball , One Piece, Tekken, ETC Sony fans seem less interested in Namco and more into capcom and Square I don't think they would miss Bandai Namco most Sony fans are into JRPG sure we have alot of Playstation Tekken fans but Fighting genre is not that big we are smaller than shooting games and WRPG's like elderscrolls 6 , Elderscrolls 6 sold 30 million vs Tekken 7 sold 9 million. You'd fill JRPG in (Tales of series and several JRPG though not doing to hot) but Sony fans are not that excited for Bandai JRPG, JRPG's like FInal Fantasy are crazy sales. Jim Ryan will not cry wolf. The guy has the better JRPG developer in his pocket with Square. TBH, the sony fans in forums and discord don't care for COD It's only the few hardcore Sony youtubers and Jim Ryan who want COD. People can't see COD has been going on a downward spiral and metacritic bashing COD on scores if anything Jim Ryan is crying wolf on a sinking ship COD which is why Activision CEO is destroying other developers making them into support COD developers.  Done editing

Just for that, I want Microsoft to buy Sega even harder!!! jkjk Bandai Namco would definitely be as out of left field as Acti-Blizz.

We bash on CoD every year, but even a terrible release like Vanguard could only be undone by a mammoth release like Elden Ring. I haven’t played CoD since Modern Warfare 3 in 2011, and I plan to keep it like that. But I can’t pretend like Modern Warefare 2 isn’t about to blow every single gaming record out there this year lol.

Bandai Namco isn’t a realistic option for MS, they are actually worth more than you think they are and they have business outside of gaming that won’t help MS at all.

Sega and Koei Tecmo are the most realistic, but Capcom would be the be the better option.

Honestly I don’t see MS buying another publisher anytime soon after the ABK deal.

Listen, I'm just going to say what a lot of people are thinking. We don't need every post that is somewhat negative towards PS being scrutinized and defended. This isn't the first time either. But it's tiresome to see us vent about things and then constantly be replied to with these types of retorts. We already have a mod in here who in the thread owner and I'm sure if the posts get too out of hand he will deal with it. But I don't see anything wrong with venting frustration over these deals. This has been a common theme with Nation threads since I started 2013, there's always been a little bit of leeway.

Yes, That's fair. Wasn't really my intention, but I realise what you're saying and see where you're coming from. Apologies. 

It was 100% your intention, conscious or not. You've been a transparent PS fan/defender ever since I first saw you posting, so you frequenting this thread has never made sense outside of seemingly stirring the pot and annoying people. If you're not going to be honest then don't bother with an insincere non-apology, it's obnoxious.

Putting them in gamepass is so smart, might actually check em out. TGS already surpassed my expectations

Very good Game Pass announcements.
Excited to see Ni no Kuni series coming to Xbox.



WoodenPints on 15 September 2022

Ni no Kuni on Gamepass is cool I first played it on PS3 and still got both games physical on Switch so third time on Xbox.



Spade on 15 September 2022

Great announcements from Xbox at TGS! Still missing Ys and Legend of Heroes, but wow, so much work done.

Ni No Kuni.. amazing game, but FUCK one of the most grindy plats I ever did. Guess I'm doing it again on Xbox. Can't wait to try Guilty Gear and BlazBlue. With the return of SF 6 and now Tekken 8, lot of great support. In addition to Yakuza announcements, and some from the PS showcase that were shown.

I am so curious to know the relationship between SE and Xbox.
