Japan, of course, is one of the largest markets for console games. It's also home to rivals Microsoft and Sony and Nintendo. The original Xbox and Xbox 360 was not a lot of luck in Japan, the Xbox and the next one still does not have a release date in the region.
However, the players here, such as games at any place, is opinionated and we have been providing two cents.
"As expected, considering the amount of what [Microsoft] has been completely get hit," wrote one commentator on the popular game, Hachima. "Well, how is it gonna juggle?"
"Yesssssssssssss!" Commentator wrote about the change. "But, I'm getting on the PS4."
"We still do not want one," chimed in another country.
On Amaebi, some suspect about the changes. "We do not make these changes at the last moment," wrote one commentator, "meaning they can add to it again whenever?"
The about-face also amused many online in Japan. "Next week, out of desperation," Last Hachima the commentator wrote, "it will reduce the price," added another, "next week, there will be a free copy Kenkt".
The other players on how this latest development is probably making Sony anxious and even weaken an overwhelming advantage in the PS4's. Price seemed to be a big point for online players in Japan. "If they drop the price, everything will turn out the way Microsoft immediately," explained one of the commentators. "Beat Sony," wrote another.
"Microsoft was thinking what is best for the game industry, but Sony forced them to retreat," wrote one commentator.
Since then, the sound of it, you will not be blocked one of the Xbox areas, a handful of Japanese players and the sharing of information on how to buy one Xbox device when it launches in the West. It was called the change a "gift from heaven" by some. (There are questions, however, whether it would be possible to connect the expense of Xbox Live for the Xbox and one in Japan before the launch and the console.)
All this comes after it appeared No More Heroes creator Goichi Suda rookie diplomatically on the Xbox one. He said although he acknowledged Microsoft has not yielded really Developers Japanese up to speed Suda recently now player, "... Windows and many other Microsoft products have a proven track record of success in Japan, so I think it's a matter of time, or some kind of hook that will Allow Xbox explode or shine in Japan., but what or when, it is still kind of in the air. "
She has other Japanese game creators, such as Akihiro Hino, also interest in making Xbox game one. Hino said, famously Professor Layton, Dengeki the Internet, "using the Kinect interface, I would like to make a role-playing game that allows you to really have a conversation."
Make no mistake: Japan is ruled by Nintendo and Sony. That probably will not change with the Xbox one, but now, at least the players in Japan may be able to import Microsoft's new console and games.
