Japan Might Have to Wait Until November for the Xbox One

The release date of the Xbox One in Japan is still a mystery, alongside many other countries, but there might now be a hint on how long gamers in the archipelago of the Rising Sun might have to wait for Microsoft’s new console. And other "tier 2" countries might have to wait just as long.

MS should get out of Japan and use all the money they would invest there to support/open first party studios.
Everybody knows that MS won't do good in Japan

raWfodog3691d ago

I think they'd probably consider it as admitting defeat this generation if they didn't release in Japan. Damned if they do, damned if they don't...

xHeavYx3691d ago

Fanboys may make fun of MS for a few weeks but then everything will be forgotten, I don't think it would mean admitting defeat, this gen just started

Jdoki3691d ago (Edited 3691d ago )

@raWfodog. Yeah, agreed.

If MS don't launch in Japan then they risk some of the more niche Japanese developers not bothering with the console - which in turn means those games don't get a Western localisation.

One of the things I like about PlayStation is that company's like NIS support the localisation of niche titles in the West. I can't imagine not playing Persona, Disgaea, Valkyria Chronicles and even more obscure stuff. (Would probably have to learn to read Japanese and buy imports :) )

Have faith my good man. Havent you heard the phrase: "3rd time is the charm".

Ahh who am I kidding.

Hicken3691d ago (Edited 3691d ago )

But the third console is cursed, remember?

I doubt highly that the console market, in general, in Japan is waiting on the XB1. In all likelihood, they'd be just fine without it, period. They've got their Sony and Nintendo, God's in His Heaven, all's right with the world.

Seriously, though, this is the problem the Xbox brand has, anyway. They just don't have the brand strength or recognition that Nintendo and Sony have on a worldwide level. That's why 13 vs. 57 is irrelevant: if the Xbox One were to have launched in those other countries, it MIGHT have added a million consoles, if that.

pompombrum3691d ago

MS will do poor in Japan but tbh I'd rather they tried hard to win the Japanese public over. A fair few quality games came about thanks to their push with the 360 in Japan.

C-H-E-F3691d ago

What I find weird is that Microsoft stated that "they" are producing (manufacturing) as many xbox ones as ps4's correct? So seeing that the PS4 is outnumbering the xbox one close to a 2:1 in sales... you'd think that Microsoft would gather all of the warehouse xbox ones and ship them to Japan, I mean it's not like they are going to sell 300k - a million of them in Japan anyways. SMH

MS wants to be ''Big in Japan'' hahaha!

I don't think more than 3 gamers in Japan are eagerly waiting for the Xbox One. Even the Wii U isn't selling as good as it should in Japan. MS has no chance there.

DeadRabbits3691d ago

Your being too generous!

Japanese folk are far to intelligent to use up a large portion of their living space to an exbone feck up their feng shui with it!

djplonker3691d ago

Wow I bet they are counting down the days...

StealthPandemic3691d ago

Fking release in other country you idiots!!

TomahawkX3691d ago

pretty risky move considering the state of consoles in Japan. Not even Mario can sell a Wii U.

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

ZeekQuattro6h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B4h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21834h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh3h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia3h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins4h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal3h ago

The first game was the best imo.

There's a reason they're called 'gods' and not 'regular people'. It's nice they've diversified even more but gods looking godly wasn't exactly a glaring issue with the first game.

Juancho517h ago

Hey! Gods suffer from obesity and diabetes too!

Blastoise7h ago

This is the dumbest article I've read in a long time.

Michiel19896h ago

No one had an issue with that besides a very select group of people that try to push their own agenda.

Crows906h ago

Exactly. Not even sure they're necessarily committing to body diversity either.

The designs look fine not stupid.

Inverno5h ago

The writer of the this article clearly doesn't know what a real god looks like and has never seen them /s

Tody_ZA5h ago

Thanks for bringing up a bunch of garbage thoughts that never crossed my mind when playing the first game because I was too busy playing the game to worry about the portrayal of the physical bodies of gods.

Foolish me, when I read the title I thought we were talking about game mechanics.

Piss off, honestly, with this asinine bottom of the barrel try-hard-to-be-relevant trash.
