Det här med japanska spel och Xbox-konsoler har inte direkt varit någon kärlekshistoria alla gånger och dess publik tycks i första hand föredra västerländska titlar. Men i en intervju hos Dual Shockers berättar marknadschefen för Xbox, Aaron Greenberg, att Japan är väldigt viktiga för dem och det verkar som att vi kan se fram en större satsning på detta:
"We love Japan. Phil goes there every year and in many cases multiple times a year. If you looked at our E3 briefing we had the most Japanese content we've ever shown in our briefing ever," he said.
I think that is speaking to the partnerships and relationships we've built. Right behind you, we have hands-on Kingdom Hearts III from our partners at Square Enix here at Gamescom. That's a franchise that we know is love, and being able to announce a world premiere of something like Jump Force from our partners at Bandai Namco, it's great."
Greenberg menar att Xbox aldrig haft ett större stöd från japanska utvecklare än just nu, och fortsätter:
"I think our commitment and our support from Japanese developers has never been stronger, and we wanna help them succeed on the global stage, and that continues to be our focus. We know our fans want those great Japanese games. That's why even some of the games we got later, we made sure that we showed them at E3, we made sure we highlighted them so you know they matter to our fans.
Again, we always take that lens of putting our fans first as we think about content, and we know Japanese content is important and that's why you see us grow our content, and we'll continue to focus on that. "
Tycker du att Microsoft går åt rätt håll beträffande japanska spel?
