Phil "We will give you Halo, XCloud and Xbox Gamepass"
Nintendo "Huh....so you don't want anything in return?"
Phil "Master Chief in Smash but if not that's cool." /gulp π π π
Sure, but now people will speculate "omg japanese dev are back on xbox, blue dragon 2 on series x" when in reality it's gonna be much less.
Nothing has happened except things that happened. so true.I feel like Phil tweeted the exact same tweet 4 or 5 times this generation, and yet nothing happened except ports that were available on PS4 for years.
Finally. Next up, Sony, and we can finally end the console wars.
Let the rampant speculation begin.
I heartily await the port of...Persona 5 Royal.
I know right? Like finally working to get all the yakuza, ff to gamepass. You might not like him, but it was hard to convince japan to work on a xb1. I fully expect next gen to be different.Yes. Phil just loves to tweet like this because it makes people SPECULATE.
Ah right. To be fair, MS didn't have many big exclusives this gen period.Oh I'm not, I mean it's great that Yakuza is coming to Xbox. But it's not like the Xbox 360 days where you had big exclusives like Lost Odyssey.
Maybe they can't but as long as they do well in the west, Japanese developers will have an incentive to port their games for the platform. Most of the big Japanese games sell better in the west anyway. Not selling well in one country is fine and Japan isn't a particularly big market for home consoles to begin with. Maybe Xcloud can do something but I think they just have to focus on helping Japanese companies sell their products in the west.I keep wondering what Xbox can do to even crack the market in Japan.
I keep wondering what Xbox can do to even crack the market in Japan. It's not even regularly stocked in most retail stores unless the person specifically asks for one to be delivered to the store and the games/accessories for it are book ends at best.
All the FF ports and other JRPG goodness is only so much of the market as well. The years of "Japan only likes mario and dragon quest" now include CoD, PUPG, Fortnite and so on just like anywhere else which always feels missing from these Xbox in Japan visits.
Wonder if a big-ish, media push through Japans favorite medium, youtube would do it. Get a group like 2Bro or some other popular gaming channel to highlight the xbox through sponsored content for a few months/a year.
Look at E3 and X0 from last year againWhat was notable at E3 2019? The only things I can think of are the Elden Ring announcement (multiplatform) and the announcement of a Phantasy Star Online 2 port?

Did anything notable come from this other visit he tweeted about early last year?
Xbox's Phil Spencer Going to Japan and Korea for a Week to Talk to Publishers About E3 and More
He can do his job without constantly putting out teasing tweets with zero context or content.

Does this honestly hurt you to the point of complaining on a forum? Just move on. There's so much shit in this forum I roll my eyes over and move on. That's it. Phil tweeting he went to japan hurts nobody but the few who want to mock it on this forum.He can do his job without constantly putting out teasing tweets with zero context or content.

This is a very good point.How will Goku appear on the Xbox stage this E3?
I do love that Xbox gives stage time to the anime billshit. Sony kind of takes its Japanese support for granted and maybe gives it a PS Blog story and thats it. Xbox loves to waves its Japanese support around front and center and I wonder if Japanese publishers appreciate the spotlight xbox gives them over PlayStation in that regard.
I believe you were complaining when they acquired Double Fine and said you didn't like the move because you were a fan of that studio but didn't want to invest in the Xbox brand.He can do his job without constantly putting out teasing tweets with zero context or content.
Zero content? The content is "I'm going to Japan". It's his Twitter man, he can post whatever he likes.He can do his job without constantly putting out teasing tweets with zero context or content.
Weren't you just complaining about Sony's lack of communication the other day? Now you're complaining about MS communicating with fans? I don't get it. You surprisingly praised MS for the very thing you're complaining about now.....He can do his job without constantly putting out teasing tweets with zero context or content.

Fans of Japanese games that prefer Xbox should know better by now than to make news out of this bullshit.
He has been doing this for years, and Xbox is still exclusively left out of multiplatform games. It's a second class, "better late than never" platform for us.

There's a difference between announcements and empty, vague teasing. Vagueness isn't communication, it's the illusion of communication.

Yep. Sorry. I shouldn't have responded. My trolling detection sensor activated way too late.
This is embarrassing. He's communicating that he's in Japan, working on things for his company's game console(s), which haven't had the best Japanese support this gen. That's exactly what communication is. Relax a bit.There's a difference between announcements and empty, vague teasing. Vagueness isn't communication, it's the illusion of communication.

Thats a stretch, RE2 would be hot tho. Feel like DMCV came on there really soon.Based on the responses per the outcome of his last publicised visit, guessing the most likely result from this new visit is more Japanese titles on Game Pass? Would be cool to get Resident Evil 3 Remake on there!
We must always be concerned about Xbox. Even if we have no plans to ever game on that platform.You know why. It's like there is some unwritten rule here where every xbox topic needs some negative shitposting in it.
