>microsoft being microsoft
truly shocking

So Phil was actually lying about what he did in Japan?

Well they used to be pretty supportive of them in the late 00's to try and turn the 360 into the next PS2.

Too bad they forgot that people who buy Xboxes do it for Halo and shit, and don't give a fuck about Japanese games or good ones in general.

>Just like Japan was supporting xbox
lel I'm so shocked. Unless you pull some $$$, they won't do anything for you lile every devs.

>Microsoft being Microsoft
In other news water is wet

microsoft have shit the bed ever since they focused on kinect. who ever was in charge back then needs to be brought back

Who needs em!

But I thought Phil Spencer or whoever from MS went to Japan recently and had a very productive trip full of meetings with top Jap devs?

>microsoft-not-very-supportive-of-japanese-games-says-nis-america
Neither is NIS America.

How big of a splash could PUBG possibly make on one of the least successful consoles ever?

That's why they are desperate. Honestly I won't be surprised if XBone's get boosted big time.

>says-nis-america
who gives a fuck. i want quality japanese titles not weebshit

Rest in piss garbage can X

They're desperate all right, but I doubt that PUBG will move any consoles this late into the craze.

>on one of the least successful consoles ever
lol fuck off

>phil goes to japan
>makes a tweet saying hes in japan doing business things
>heavily implies that its something to do with xbox
>he just went there on vacation and ate ramen and sushi
>probably bought a hentai or 2

>"Honestly speaking, Microsoft's approach to Japanese games hasn't been very supportive," NIS America president and CEO Takuro Yamashita told MCV. "Microsoft, you know, for Japanese games, there's still a very niche element to them, no matter what it might be.
>"Microsoft also has a minimum order quantity for their games, and their whole structure isn't really geared toward niche games or smaller games like Japanese titles, so they're not really supportive of Japanese games or developers."
So this is why Xbox doesn't support Japanese games. Cause of their minimum order quantity thing? So it's like the opposite of Nintendo, where Nintendo often makes things in very small supply, while Microsoft doesn't want to have games that are not in a massive quantity.

Last gen they sold 1,5 mil xbox 360s in japan, mostly because of the first half of the generation. If they had good games, they wouldn't fail so hard.

They have to have games that make it look like they are selling a lot. Which is quite the opposite of Japanese games. So unless you are really a big time Japanese company, don't expect any support from MS.

No shit, its why I stick to PC and PS4

Nobody on Xbox cares about or likes weeb garbage

I'm only here to piss off sonyblacks

Good, weebs are shit anyway, it's about time someone pulled the trigger, now it's time to launch that third nuke.

So NISA is just pissed they can't do halfassed ports to the xbone I take it? Hell they should focus on getting that PC port of Ys VIII fixed first before worrying about microsoft.

This, make actual video games like Nintendo or get the fuck out.

Nier automata didnt come because they thought nobody would buy it on xbox even though Nier was on 360. But they port it to steam...fucking gooks

>Gives up on exclusive games
>Gives up on single player games
>Gives up on japanese games

Literally why would anyone give a shit about Xbox at this point, Jesus Christ Microsoft just doesn't care anymore.

How based is Microsoft? They manage to sell 30 mil without any weebshit, and added backwards functionality. Micro is shitting on Sony in every way besides console sales.

Yet Square Enix cannot seem to be able to strike a deal with M$ to allow XIV into XB1 without requiring XBL sub and allowing full crossplay with PC and PS4.

No he didnt give up single player. Spencer said BC saved Singleplayer games.

>Chinks being Xenophobic and rejects MS when they tried earlier in the 360's life
>MS says ''Fuck You'' to the chink island this generation
>Sup Forums and chink developers show hypocrisy,feign shock just to say ''see thy're not trying''

>PS4
Why though, PC gets the same weeb games. Why even bother with a console?

How the fuck do companies like Xseed and NIS America stay in business with this operating procedure? They have to take into account getting the rights to publish a game from Japan, pay the translators, pay the box/manufacturing costs, retailer costs, and upkeep costs. Even if they win with profit margins, they're just above breaking even. They must have work slaves as translators to maintain their business.

Japanese games and weeb games are two different things.

NIS is weeb trash so fuck em

Based, they're doing god's work getting rid of weeb trash.

if its selling so well why is MS so hesitant on releasing actual numbers?

That's why it's funny when MS is suddenly shifting the blame to Sony that they are the ones not allowing crossplay. When in the generation before, they were the ones that didn't want to.

Shit like this made me hate weebs so much. Their blatant hypocrisy, how ignorant and rabid they are. I'm so glad japanese gaming is all but irrelevant at this point.

This

Super Robot Wars, Taiko, Gundam, and Gintama aren't getting PC releases. Gundam has a slight chance but the others have literally no chance of going to PC.

>Backwards compatibility saved single player games

but that was this faggot Fag Fagtrick, after drowning the xbox brand 2013 even Zynga threw him out. When marketing people lead with no product vision, the end is near.

Because of BC I was able to play Bayonetta, so it saved me

He's right.

Only a psycho like you would think PC Gaming cutting out backwards compatibility would be improving things like Sony did with PS3 to PS4. And before you cry fake tears, the PS3 never lost the ability to play PS1 games/discs. PS4 doesn't even recognize CD-ROM. Why can't you just take the loss like a man and not double down?

Lost Odyssey was easily one of the better jrpgs of last gen.

I mean, 90% of jap games are shit, so.

Fuck off Xbot.

>LITERALLY THIS
And the retard sperglords on Sup Forums eating this weeb excuse up like its all Microsoft's fault when they were NEVER gonna except Xbox anyway since its conception.

Anyone believing this chinks are retards and probably gullible like these MAGA hillbillies down here where I live.

>Jewsoft
This is why I will always buy PS4.

Japanese games, animes, movies are always better than west shits.

Thank god we don't want weeb shit. That's why I got rid of ps4

...

That game isn't Weeb garbage. Games like galgun and the Nep games are

You are literally posting on a website made by a 15 year old for anime discussion, based off a Japanese imageboard. Idiot.

but how did that save Single Player games?
hell the PS4 got more of those than the Xbone this year

You are literally posting on the internet, which was made by the military to discuss military strategies. Idiot.

I remember someone stated that he was intentionally trying to sabotage the Xbox Brand and Microsoft found out about it and fired him.

I wonder how Playstation would do without western games. Everybody who is US american should ask himself who he is supporting.

This, get that weeb trash off my console.

The onus is on Japan to support Microsoft. Microsoft has already tried supporting Japan multiple times (look at all those games the Xbox Hueg had like Breakdown, GunValkyrie, Otogi, Metal Wolf Chaos, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Jet Set Radio Future, that SMT single player MMO, etc. Look at all those 360 games like those Cave shmups, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, those Virtual-On ports, those Treasure ports, etc). But xenophobic Japs rejected it due to "baka gaijin", then turn around and complain "Microsoft doesn't want to support us!"

Yes, and obviously it grew into more than that, but 4chsn never really moved past anime, as evidence shows Sup Forums is one of the most populated boards, and Sup Forums talks about Anume type games all the time. Fuck, even Sup Forums likes some anime.

Matrick was conducting a plan with the shareholders favourite for the CEO job at the time, Stephen Elop, to spin off the Xbox brand from the MS org and run it as a separate concern backed with funding from Amazon and other media companies. They were having secret meetings in NY with Amazon execs. Ballmer found out, shitcanned Matrick immediately and Elop basically had to mantain damage control as he was still the shareholders favourite till he lost the CEO role to Nadella (Who was Gates and Ballmers pick. The Board went with them) and Elop was let go two years after getting the Windows Mobile VP consolation prize.

they should make a partnership with Sega again, let Sega do the marketing in Japan with their own branded Xbox console but same XboxOS.

This

microsoft never releases sales numbers dumbass

Back to r*ddit, westacucks

Feels good that both of those fuckers got what they deserved. I knew they were trying to sabotage the Xbox the minute Kinect became a thing.

>You won't pubrish rori horse rape simulator VII?
>FUCKING STUPID AMELICAN

Plenty of boards don't tolerate weebs with no self awareness like Sup Forums, /r9k/, Sup Forums, Sup Forums, etc. Nowhere in the rules does it say you can't make fun of weebs or criticize jap shit. If you wanna be an obnoxious faggot go ahead, but don't cry when people do the same to you.

lol nice to hear some company intern intrigues

Good. I bought it because I wanted a console that's the antithesis of a weeb machine.

Except when the X1X preorders are in front of PS4 Pro sales on Amazon.

It was still like place 60 or something like that but shills will always find a way to make something sound good.

Okay, well, considering just about everyone on Sup Forums is stupid as fuck, I don't think they count. I've seen Sup Forums and /r9k/ both discuss anime by the way. 3 days ago on Sup Forums there was a fucking Berserk thread.

>tfw no more JRPGs funded by microsoft money
shame. 360 had amazingly good JRPGs.

It was number 1 until it sold out.

it's the same reason you never see coreans around driving fords or dodges. why would they buy that when they can buy a kia or hyundai. why would japan buy an xbone when they can buy a ps4

I think it was just an exclusive deal for western publishing rights. PS3 version only in Japan. 360 had o nice jrpgs, I plan on playing through them in the near future.

During the og Xbox era ms try to get Japanese games but most of the completely didn't want to work with them. Mind there was some that did but at best none wanted too. I remember during a podcast they mention they interviewed bobby from Activision when he went to Japan he stated they had western games in a corner calling them dogshit.

I never said they don't tolerate any discussion of anime. I just said that being a braindead weeb who attacks anyone who doesn't like weebshit is mocked on a good portion of this site.

You can get banned for it under certain circumstances.

It's just a cultural barrier. Weeb shit is generally crazy shit and crazy shit doesn't sell in the west where your target audience is regular AAA(Skyrim, CoD, GTA, Mass Effect) crowd.

Under "most hot" or some special category like that and it quickly went under.

damage control much?

XBOX WAS A MISTAKE

imagine being this autistic over a company

It sold out what did you expect, it was number 1 for like a week even though it sold out in a day.

Honestly I don't think they ever really cared, even going as far back as the original xbox. They just got lucky Gears and Halo and that's it.

miss me yet?

next gen I'll go PC/ps5 anyway. Why buy a nex xbox when all exclusives come to win10 store? Thanks Phil, you saved me money and I always was an Xbox guy since 2002 or so.

>win10 store
>good

og xbox and 360 had the best japanese games. games that were actually fun, like chromehounds, phantasy star universe, dead rising, jet set radio future, ninja gaiden black and 2, phantom dust, several 360 exclusive JRPGs that weren't cringe pantsu quests... if only those fucking japs weren't sonyroaches, coming up with pathetic excuses like "xbox is black so it means death!" and "x means death!" even though pissstation 2 was black and had an x button (no gaijin it's "cross" so it's ok!). man, fuck jap consumers.

I miss you working with MS

Then during the 7th gen the only reason Japanese developers put their games on the x360 was due to sony screwing up with the ps3. Then they put the better version on the ps3 and it pissed off alot Japanese gamers when they did that. The during 08 or 09 japane decide to cut cost by not putting their games on the x360 in Japan but they did the opposite in the west.

have fun

who gives a fuck about what store. Halo 6 i.e is coming to PC, that's enough for me. +my xbox profile is connected so I can still collect achievements n shiet. Also play anywhere support.

Cry about it more.

Unfortunately this is what happens when Americans elect a xenophobe as president, it gives validation to companies like Microsoft to ignore Japanese markets

360 is so underrated on this board. this image isnt even including all the underrated as fuck XBLIG

MS plan since the ned of laast generation is to either get rid of the Xbox brand or turn it into a normalfag easy to use PC with everything connected via w10. they just needed to kick Mattrick down because he was literally trying to steal the Xbox brand and turn it inot cable tv shit.

So? I don't discuss anime other than when I say I don't like it.
