If you're proud of this event your bar it's really, really, reaaaaaaally low.

I'm not trusting this guy ever again.

Seriously what the hell

DQXI
PSO2 expansion
and that SE game

that's it..?
XI was a nice surprise....but yeah kinda ridiculous.

Sony still has a chokehold on jp devs when you consider that SE, Capcom and co. had new next-gen IPs to unveil.
Probably not much MS/Phil can do.

If you want Japanese games, don't buy an xbox.
It's always been that way, and it will continue being that way.
Sony/Nintendo is the way to go for Japanese game development.

Well that was massively disappointing. To think Sony's PS5 show Japanese games lineup was disappointing and yet still better than what we saw today.

Told y'all. This same line is trotted out every year and the results are always underwhelming. Xbox and Japanese titles are like fire and water.

There was a better Japanese showing in the pre show then the actual conference. A good amount of people probably missed those announcements.

I think he could not oversell the Japanese presence. He's done that quite a few times.

I like the event overall but this was the most disappointing part for me, a severe lack of megaton jp stuff. Where is Elden Ring, P4 and 5R, and the rest of the yakuza stuff. FF16?

I think your expectations were way out of wack. We saw some great Japanese games. What exactly did you want?

What? I watched the whole event and only saw PSO2 and Tetris Effect, and while PSO2 is still a big deal itself, both of those games are already out. I don't see anything from Japanese devs here that was to be "proud of."

Def. more of a fake it till you make it approach when it comes to these topics from him lol.

But GamePass has improved the situation for them in terms of older games and re-releases. But for newer stuff JP 3rdPartys are gonna stay with the safe bet and Playstation.

I always though there were 2 ways to read his statement:

- He was proud of how much JP content there was in it
- He was proud of what he will show regardless of how little JP content there was

In the end, it seems he meant the latter, rather than the former.
