Playeressence - Microsoft has announced that they are “committed” to releasing the Xbox One in Japan, in 2014. While Microsoft might be committed to doing this, the Japanese consumers are not committed to buying Microsoft’s consoles.
The Xbox 360 has been available in Japan since December 9th, 2005. Sales of the system have been abysmal, and that’s being nice. More than eight years on the Japanese market, and Microsoft has only been able to sell 1.6 million units since launch. For comparisons sake, the Wii U has sold a little less than 1.5 million units in its first year in Japan. The Wii U will probably pass up the Xbox 360 by early January, if it already hasn’t done so. Nobody is buying the Xbox 360 in Japan, why will they buy a more expensive system, with less content made for them?
Available right now, Stasis: Bone Totem from Feardemic looks to deliver a mysterious new gaming experience to Xbox, PlayStation, Switch
Game Rant talked to Suda51 about a potential sequel to Shadows of the Damned, and here's what he had to say.
Man, I’d love to get a sequel. I wish that’s was this was instead of a remaster, but it’s such a niche title. It won’t sell gamgbusters, unfortunately.
Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher developer CD Projekt hosted its fiscal year 2023 earnings conference, and provided details about its games and business alongside comments on the use of generative AI and licensing its IPs for mobile games.
Though this news in a way should be good new trilogy making cash taking a break from cyberpunk and all that i would like to reminded everyone that the new cdpr is pro esg. There focus going forward is to make games for everyone so the next witcher will have less everything watch the swearing/blood be political the main character might just be a woman that is trans lesbian perhaps likes dogs who knows.
see video cfo cdpr there new esg vision

I am a witcher fan enjoyed cyberpunk but i know the old devs are all gone the people that made red engine are all gone so this is a new team with a new visions under the esg the same esg that looks at a company like sweet baby as visionaries.
So take this news with a grain of salt as the chance of witcher 3 magic again is very low seeing how starfield removed gore to appease the masses and we are gun ho with live service. We will see what this looks like but keep your expectations low.
I mean remember how netflix wither is being handled though yes more on that teams side than cdpr but yikes.
I will leave rebel wolves site they are made up from former cdpr devs

Though still hush hush on there new rpg.
I honestly think Cyberpunk is one of the best games I’ve played this gen. The immersion is still better than any game I’ve played in the past several years. Really glad this did well, but we all know CDPR better not bull sh*t people with fake trailer and gameplay previews or try to hide a dumpster fire last-gen version of a game.
Too late...
I'm sure Ms has plans on how to enter Japan. Only fanboys will say it hopeless.
I think MS is only releasing Xbox One in Japan for third party support, but then again it didn't really help Xbox 360 a lot.
Still if the console fails in Japan, the console is region free so we can still experience the Japanese exclusives that Microsoft releases anywhere in the world
Nintendo and Playstation got Japan on lock.
