Re: Here's Everything That Was Revealed At The Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2023 Event

Xbox is officially dead in japan, late ports (that most japanese gamers/weebs have already played) and only having marketing rights (that actually hurt games like phantasy star online 2 or scarlet nexus initially) is not enough nor just selling that failing gamepass. Persona 3 reload is coming to gamepass…but most people are gonna play and buy it on playstation/pc anyway

You simply need japanese exclusives to get people interested and xbox once understood this during og xbox/360 under the better leadership of peter moore (who was actually getting things done unlike that hack phil who is all talk) 360 sold over a million in japan because of the variety of japanese exclusives/localizations then

Not only is pc gaming becoming more popular in japan/overall, but once nintendo releases the next switch (and if its on par or even above series s) developers from japan and worldwide will prioritize and have more incentive to make games on switch 2 instead of xbox series s/x. most multiplat releases are gonna be ps5, switch 2, and pc

If only we got scalebound and the phantom dust remake during xbox one…xbox one (while not as good as the og xbox/360 lineup of japanese exclusives) could've had a decent library with those 2, dead rising 3, crimson dragon, and recore

@Benjamin It actually did (alongside many other japanese exclusives during 360 like ninety nine nights, blue dragon, infinite undiscovery, dead or alive 4 etc and timed exclusives like last remnant, star ocean 4, dead rising and tales of vesperia)

360 sold over 1 million in japan which was very impressive and above the sales of og xbox (despite how og xbox had great japanese support also)

@Tharsman Lol and what lineup of big exclusives have we got under phil's leadership into the series gen?

And (as I said) don did do some damage to the brand, I ultimately just desire to see phil gone with new leadership and don't see why you don't.

Dude has been at xbox as the head for a while (barely turning things around and noting that they are in 3rd place) and also even said that he doesn't mind if he's fired and says he's overpaid, its clear that phil isn't gonna get xbox to where it needs to be

@Tharsman Yeah don (as I stated) at least gave us a solid launch lineup with xbox one unlike phil with series, and he accurately predicted gaming is it is currently regarding aspects like always online, cloud, data stored server side, and people using consoles as a all in media device etc

Now I don't mean to sound like a fan of him, he did do damage to the brand and was worse compared to peter moore, but I'd still take him over phil. Phil has barely turned things around and he even states that xbox are still in 3rd place. I want a new leader

Re: Xbox Boss Insists Microsoft Will Deliver A Packed Schedule Of Releases

@Tharsman Uh no I don't want xbox itself gone, I want phil gone because he is a terrible leader for the brand that doesn't give any confidence to the community whatsoever (especially compared to the god peter moore) He was a great guy to come in initially, but now I'm ready for new leadership

I'd take don over that clown phil (and at least he had the decency to give us a solid launch lineup with xbox one)

He may be a *****, but jim ryan has done more for playstation (in less time!) compared to what phil has done for xbox
