I hope he will invest a little in the Japanese market. At the very least, I hope he will eliminate the fact that the product will only be released on PS5 in Japan. (I can't even buy Baldur's Gate 3 on the Xbox Japan store)

I don't know what really happened, but given that the only studios that were closed were related to Bethesda Softworks, it probably forced ZeniMax to make a decision on the bill for the failure of Starfield and Redfall.

Tango Gameworks was a really good development company, and I wish they would have stayed under the Xbox if possible, but I hope they continue to make good games at their next location.

Please put Baldur's Gate 3 in the Japan store.
They are blocking the store even though it is in Japanese.

In Japan, there is now an unwritten rule that you can't say you like the Assassin's Creed series in public. DEI and the portrayal of Japanese history in the game, which is based on insufficient research, is causing Japanese people a lot of pain.

At the game shop near me, there is only one Xbox One FIFA 14 game for sale second-hand. There are no consoles for sale (I have seen a second-hand Xbox One X for sale at that shop once).
In Japan, it would be difficult to even buy a new console unless you went to one of the few large city electronics stores.
You can buy it online, but for some reason it is always out of stock.
Unless Microsoft can prepare sufficient stock in Japan, they won't even be able to get off the starting line.

Banjo-Kazooie is one of the best titles.
But no other studio should make it.
Even Yooka-Laylee, which didn't involve the original game designers, didn't satisfy me.

Activision originally held the contract until this time. But they backed out early. I think that answers the question.

As much as I liked JD Fenix, the Gears 5 campaign sucks, I don't want Kait.

Hive Busters on the other hand was very enjoyable.

Then again, I think I enjoyed the multiplayer as well.

Destiny1 was a PlayStation exclusive on the Japanese Xbox, despite the fact that it was scheduled to be released at the time.

This caused many Japanese Halo fans to migrate to the PlayStation.

343 Industries has its own problems, though, as they left the matchmaking glitch unaddressed for quite some time. (At the time, the Halo community in Japan was in the midst of a meltdown over the change of voice actors for Master Chief and Cortana)

I went to Turn 10 Studio's official website to see if it was possible. It was very female leadership pushed out. It's a great initiative.
I think the quality of Forza Motorsport is assured.

It is the Xbox team that should be aware of the change in gamer behavior.

Don't expect Xbox fans to enjoy gaming as much as they have in the past just because the Xbox team chooses not to take care of their console.

I think it is a wonderful thing to bring the game to a large number of people. But it would be bad news for the Xbox console hardware and its users. Fewer people buying Xbox consoles means fewer third-party games will be released and localized.
It is not surprising that a market that Capcom and Square Enix are willing to leave alone will be left alone by even more developers.
I think Microsoft should do something to try to sell Xbox consoles.

I know it's an unavoidable field due to developers' requests, but the Xbox 360 store was much easier to understand when full games, XBLA, and indie games were separated.

This game is a spin-off of a work called BnB; BnB was sued by Hudson for being a Bomberman clone. Nintendo rarely sues, so they took Mario Kart, but it was a disappointment.

I am glad that Tango Gameworks was able to survive.

But if possible, I would like to see a good development company like Tango Gameworks at Microsoft.
Ghostwire: Tokyo was a really great game.

Physical disks are certainly important. But we don't sell packaged versions of Xbox. At least in Japan, they haven't released a package since "Halo 5: Guardians".
I hope you will release the Physical Disks again.

@jesse_dylan PC Game Pass was advertised in Japan until a few years ago. Yeah, Xbox Game Pass is not being pushed and Xbox Series X|S is not being promoted either.

What does it mean that Microsoft is too unwilling to sell the Xbox Series X|S?
Not only is it not advertised, it is almost always out of stock in our area.
Yes, in a region like Japan, where Xbox don't sell well, they are always out of stock.

The Japanese Xbox community is in turmoil: the closure of ZeniMax Asia and Tango Gameworks, the Xbox Series X|S price hike. The Xbox Series X|S is forever out of stock, and Xbox advertisements are being pulled out.
At the very least, there is no doubt that Microsoft is drastically reducing the budget for Xbox in Japan.
They have no intention of popularizing it.

I liked this game at the time, but it's not something I want to play over and over again.

Microsoft is clearly scaling back its Xbox console business outside the U.S., which is obviously affecting sales.
There is still almost always no inventory of the Xbox Series X|S in Japan.

I hope that someday Japan will offer World Update again. In its current state, even famous places such as Kyoto look like a Western landscape.

This should only be a mod by a fan. It is a little too brazen to ask the officials to move it. No matter how well done it is, a mod should always be humble.

Smart Delivery is useful, but it would be better if it would let us install a version at our option. I don't want to wear out my expensive internal SSD for games I only play occasionally.

I try to stay away from games that smell of DEI whenever possible. Sorry.

Don't get the movie version of the leatherhead.
It would be an insult to fans to be able to change the gender of their favorite character.

Unfortunately the right to buy Xbox games on disc is not ours, even Starfield and Halo Infinite are not sold in packages in our country.

@Pabpictu Japanese people are tired, and portable game consoles and smartphone apps that can be played casually are more in tune with the times now.

Also, large screen TVs are very expensive in Japan, so not many people make it a priority to buy them. (4K TVs are less popular than in the West because of a protection called B-CAS)

And most importantly, Japanese people prefer Nintendo Switch because Nintendo games are fun. The "political correctness" that is prevalent in Western games is not well accepted.

It would simply be more optimized because the PS5 version sells better. There is no complicated reason.

Have you ever had any confidence in these leaks?
Banjo has had rumors that have been announced every year before E3 for over a decade. And all of them were *****.

Lost interest when UBISOFT fired game developer Michel Ancel.
Yes, this series has never been marketed in my country ...

Hi-Fi Rush, Ghostwire: Tokyo and Evil Within were really great games and would have helped enrich the Xbox lineup.
There has always been a lack of Japanese games on the Xbox and I have enjoyed their unique games.
In addition to Tango Gameworks, ZeniMax Asia was also shut down. They were translating Bethesda Softworks games into Japanese. If the quality of the localization is compromised, this is also a problem. (If they merge with Xbox's terrible Japanese translation team, that's not a problem...)
I wish Microsoft would create a game studio in Japan on the level of Tango Gameworks.

Personally, I think it sounds fun, but as a Japanese, it's complicated.

Many of the buildings, equipment, and all other aspects do not match the history of Japan.
There are no documents that can definitively state that Yasuke was also a samurai
I hope you will make it clear at the launch that the work is not based on proper historical facts

@Banjo- Haha, thanks.
I am Japanese and live in Japan.

I'm here.
As you can see from the inclusion of Wizardry, the Japanese fans of Xbox seem to be of an older age group.

It's much better now. Yeah, 343 Industries games don't get decent until about 2 years after release. And in the meantime, none of the online players will be around. It's always the same.

They scaled down significantly from what was previously announced and tried to sell at a higher price. Why do they think people will buy that content?

Too many campaigns are only in the US.
Does Microsoft really intend to sell games worldwide?

The translated version of this game is like a machine translation. It doesn't make sense.

Valiant Hearts is a game that was never released for the Xbox in Japan. Yes, even now. It was a game I wanted to play very much.

I am playing on Wi-FI6 and the image is disturbed by the screen transitions with heavy movement. Also, when playing FPS, I sometimes feel a large input delay.
I appreciate that this technology is still in its infancy.

I really enjoyed Kinect.
I still have my Xbox One and Xbox 360 connected to my TV just for Kinect.

I loved UBISOFT in the early days of Xbox 360. It was ambitious and violent. Lately it seems to have lost its fangs and is more interested in politics than a fascinating worldview.　

I want to build my library on Xbox. But there are many games for Xbox for which Japanese does not exist.
Phil, it would be great if you could translate some of the classics like Pillars of Eternity, Diablo 3, Baldur's Gate 3, etc. into Japanese on Xbox.

Pure question, do these elements fit the Halo worldview? I would like the immersive experience to be important.

I hope in 10 years it will not be the same as 343 Industries.

The results were exactly what I expected.
Yes, I am not satisfied. But let's hope it doesn't get worse.

This world is too beautiful...
I wanted more depictions of bad people, cults, poverty, discrimination, etc. I thought those aspects contributed to reality in Skyrim and Fallout.

The Japanese Xbox and PlayStation have been left for years with their mod stores destroyed.
Skyrim fixed this with an anniversary update that was released a year after its release in the US.
I hope they fix Fallout 4 too.
