Does Anyone Think Microsoft Should Give Up On Asia

[QUOTE="Senor_Kami"]They keep doing better each time so I say no. Plus, them getting alot of JPN developers this gen has been a major boost for people who complained about the lack of support from basically every company but Tecmo last gen.bingbaocao

I think the next xbox shouldnt be released in asia they have never really cracked asia is has always stayed true to home products like the playstation and nintendo consoles and they never really have the right games for the asian market and everytime they try to bring a jrpg it fails and shifts about 1,000-10,000 xboxs

Do you even realise that while Microsoft isn't a big hit in Asia that they still make a ton of money from them, even if its no where as big as Nintendo's or Sony's? Plus even so why give up Asia, eventually they might give in to Microsoft and Microsoft some day might rule that territory in the same Nintendo does right now, you never know.

I respect the Japanese for their support first and foermost of home companies. Used to mean something here in the States as well. I try to buy American when I can, and favor the Xbox for this reason. Still own a PS3, excersising my right to like what I want. Seems some Japanese do so also, albeit very few. Sorry, on topic, no Americans shouldn't give up.cainetao11

neither Nintendo nor Sony is dominating continental Asia, PCgaming is.

No, they should not.

[QUOTE="GunSmith1_basic"]microsoft should keep that door open. They will never break through this gen but if they stick to it they can get through eventually. Maybe the main reason that the 360 isn't popular is that it is percieved as poorly built because of RROD and that loud disc drive. It isn't an elegant or efficient machine, and that's more important over thereGundamforce

I thought it was more about lack of japanese appeal such as jrpgs compared to the other two consoles.

I think Asia's already given up on MS

I actually am glad that Microsoft seems to be focused on the North American market first, then try to grab the others. I now have more and more games that I like to play. I'm not really into JPRG or what ever you call them, and if they continue to succeed here I believe they'll be just fine. Just get 25% of the Asian market, then that will be a success in my book.

Yes. Buying JRPGs hasn't worked for them. Maybe they should stop splitting up the JRPG library so it can stay on a Sony system where it belongs next gen. They've really screwed things up.

That would be a bad business move. What if Asia gets out of the economic downturn faster than the rest of the world? Microsoft would have taken its foot out of the door and would have really kicked themselves.

They should just change their system's features to cater more to the crowd there. Just like some products are changed to fit American's taste, they should change products to fit Japan's taste.

• Bundle it with a cute plushie instead of a game
• Change the name (I don't know if this is true or not, but isn't there some myth about the letter "x" in Japanese culture?)
• Make the controller more like a Wii, but still have a distinctive Xbox look to it.

I don't know, I'm not up to date with Japan's culture. And I don't want to say too much more, before I look racist.
