Well it would be the same if Sony announces on stage that Quake 2 remaster is also coming to PS5.... Would you say to bethesda/zenimax fans buy a PS5!!? Would it be not wise to say 'You should get an Xbox series if you are a Bethesda/Zenimax fan especially with Starfield coming up?' With Xbox 360 they created a fanbase with games as Project Sylpheed, Lost Odyssey; Blue dragon, Last remnant, Eternal Sonata, Tales of Vesperia, Enchanted Arms, Lost planet 1, Magna Carta and so on... |
You look at the impact of a title on system sales in way too much of a vacuum.
It's not like since X Japanese games are on Xbox fans of that title will switch their platform for Xbox. It's more like if you're a fan of JRPG amongst other types then Xbox was not ticking that checkbox before and now it is.
Japanese content is a complement to the offering, one that prevents a whole fanbase from overlooking Xbox, so when Xbox releases great 1st party games there's less hesitation to jump in because of what it does not cover.
