Does this count as organic growth?
That isn't WHO I was expecting. ?
The Japanese will still barely buy anything Xbox. Better to concentrate all efforts within the West.
I’m not sure if they are targeting Japanese gamers. They seem to be setting up so they can attract and support Japanese developers under their publishing brand with games that appeal to their global market outside of Japan as well.
Actually Xbox is selling better this time around 4000 this week is good for Xbox compared to how Xbox one was doing which was like a 100 or so a week
Relative to absolute dog shit last gen, sales are now strong. But, the XB market in Japan is still tiny. It's a novelty there.
True, but Xbox is just now starting to put more resources into the Japanese market. They can't succeed if they don't put the effort in. Not even Sony can touch Nintendo in Japan these days, so will Xbox's endeavors in Japan end up being futile? Most likely. Doesn't mean they shouldn't try to compete, though. Finally after 20 years, Xbox is actually starting to give it their all in Japan.
Why though? XB is seeing some real growth in Japan after years of stagnation. All they need are a few solid titles catered for this market. Not to mention that there are millions of JP centric games fans all over the world. It's not all about Japan.
Could that hint at a revival of the Scalebound project?
