Everyone outside of America is tier 2, regardless of their labelling. Every media advantage the Xbox is said to have seems exclusive to the US (for obvious reasons)

Why anyone outside of the US would pick one up confounds me.

I'm intrigued.

How would this work exactly ? Would you play as the tentacles or the victim ?
Maybe you can play co-op with a buddy.

Day one, yo.

Haven't they done a seal with Sky in the UK, or at least they were planning to.

Japanese play shitty games, good for MS not catering to those overacted sentimental movie games they got going on over there.

timbers_WSU

Why would you say such a stupid thing, without japanese games the industry would suffer, plus it's much better then that western crap :P

Nope. Japanese games suck. That is why everyone's Golden Child Atlus is bankrupt even though they use PS2 quality graphics instead of investing in decent tech. Because aside from a few trolls in game forums who prefer their men to look like girls, no one gives 2 shit's about them.

Atlus was fine. Their parent company got bankrupted. Japanese games suck? Lol

Japan is a Tier 2 country and not a Tier 1 country

II_Seraphim_II

This is the kind of genius marketing that's going to win over Japan.

You know? lol. Talk about word choice. There are 100 better ways of saying the exact same thing without coming off a bit offensive/demeaning.

My thoughts exactly. What they said makes it come off that they think Japan is a 2nd rate country and not important at all. I hope the 3 Xbox 360 gamers in Japan see this and not buy the xbone because of this (of course thos 360s in Japan may be owned by Foreigners living in Japan)

I man, it makes sense considering how Xbox has sold in Japan in the past, so I can't say I blame them too much. charizard1605
While this is true, it is a new console in a new generation, so it is a great time to "start fresh" in Japan so to speak, but I feel like that was already out the window considering a good portion of the Xbox One and Xbox Live content appeals to North America only (ESPN, NFL, etc.)

If i tried selling my product in a place that'll barely sniff it for ten years I wouldn't go out of my way to cater to them and I'd most certainly categorize them from a business sense as a tier two country.... Good move Microsoft. They've rolles the red carpet out to Japan twice and got spat on each time. Anyone holding ms reluctance against them is pretty much an ass.... TheEroica

Being spiteful towards people who aren't buying your product isn't a good business tactic :|

I would think this would make it difficult for Microsoft to get support from Japanese developers. I guess their fanbase doesn't really care, but that would be a pretty big blow to me if I were an owner of the Xbox One.

When someone says something is better than something else, they're obviously stating their own opinion. It's not stupid to state your opinion. Also, JRPGs >>>>>>> shooters.

So? Are you not allowed to say that? :? Unlike you, who's trying to be completely balanced and understanding (or pretending to be, to the point of pretentiousness), I have a little bias, and I simply state it, never said you have to feel the same. If that makes me an idiot to you, then so be it.

OK so why even argue against the guys opinion in the first place? You're literally both just trashing each others opinion in the dumbest most obnoxious way possible, I mean, I know that's the System Wars way but still, would be nice for people to actually have a decent argument for once instead of just shouting "NO DIS IS BETTER CUZ I SAYS SO" at each other.
