Console gaming in Japan isn't doing all that well since they transitioned to more mobile and portable gaming. If I were Xbox I wouldn't bother. You play to your strengths and the Japanese market isn't nor will it ever be a strength for them.

I mean I'm pretty sure the PS4 got outsold by the Switch in Japan despite it having a 3 year head start. If those are the results Sony an Japanese brand can achieve Microsoft should just move on.

They need to focus on mainland Europe and stop being weird. A region where they might actually have a chance....

Playground games and Ninja Theory, in addition to Rare are based in Europe so I think that some good will be coming from that.
Not mainland Europe but the UK. The UK which MS has always had big focus on. All those studios are based in UK who many separate from mainland Europe i.e France, Italy, Poland, Netherlands, Poland, Germany, etc.

They were supposedly looking at a polish company. It's how the techland rumors started. I think they're still looking for talent there and Japan + Korea.

Somebody make a discord for the Xbox homies. I will if nobody else wants to. We can set up some gaming nights, do streams and talk whatever else.
There's already a discord for The Arcadium but most cats be quiet/don't talk. I could create a Xbox channel for that only but...
