[QUOTE="Jakandsigz"]MS is going to try a 3rd time, but if they under cut the PS4's release date they may have a chance..

Microsoft Next week, the Xbox One roadshow heads to the eastern part of the globe with a major presence at the 2013 Tokyo Game Show in Japan, which starts Sept. 19. You may remember that Microsoft made the decision not to attend TGS in 2012 but since they are planning to launch a new hardware console very soon, the company thought it made sense to show up this year. In addition to having a number of upcoming Xbox 360 games on the show floor, Microsoft's TGS 2013 website reveals it will have eight playable Xbox One games: "FIFA 14," "Kinect Sports Rivals," "Crimson Dragon," "Forza 5," "Ryse," "Max: The Curse of Brotherhood," "Killer Instinct" and "Titanfall." Microsoft might also use next week's TGS to make an announcement on when the Xbox One will launch in Japan. Sony has already announced a Feb. 22 launch for the rival PlayStation 4.Lumpy311

This could be good if they under cut Sony in two major markets. They have U.S. on an even field, they are undercutting the PS4 in Europe, and they can also have a chance to under cut the Xbox One in japan. Maybe even have it out this year. With their above-average launch titles in comparison, it may be enough to get a good kick. Coming out later will spell doom in that county

 

If the original Xbox and Xbox 360 couldn't sell in Japan, what makes them think the Xbone will be any different?

 

Europe is Playstation teritory...

 

But it's funny how Microsoft is trying to lure European gamers with FIFA;

It's not funny, it's smart. Microsoft isn't dumb, it never was, no matter what Sony drones tell you.

 

it is funny, dude; Microsoft can't give Europeans a compelling reason on why Xbone is a better value then PS4 so, the next best thing is to, "Bait" them" into buying it???

Xbox sells more in the US than any other part of the world, if I recall. You're welcome to correct me though.

Probably, since it's based there, but, by undercutting the PS4 and with the FIFA bundles, it could definately gain a foothold in Europe.

How are they undercutting Sony. By releasing a week earlier in half the countries that PS4 is and being more expensive?

No matter how small the difference is, it's still a difference, and it stills gives MS an advantage, wether you like it or not, cow.

How do you think you are supposed to sell things? By baiting people into buying them. Just another mad cow.

Out of the gate? Sure, I can definitely see that. I think in the PS4 will overtake it by the first year though if the console doesn't catch on massively in that market.

Awful assumption, you lost? I lost what? Do you really think you win arguments by assuming stuff? Cows are awful @ arguments.

MS will need some luck, but it might be possible, the gen hasn't been won yet.

They're barely managing to launch in half of Europe...but you think they're gonna be able to launch in Japan in 2013?

Jakandsigz

100,000 units for Japan is all they really need until later in 2014. How much do you think MS would sent over there? lol.

How many units they send is irrelevant. How many units sell is the only thing relevant and it will sell like shit just like the 360 did.

The fact that you assume that Microsoft releasing 1 week earlier in 5 or 6 countries is some significant advantage makes you look silly. Notice that you ignore PS4 releasing a week earlier and $100 cheaper in US. So I brand you a delusional lemming.

I think what Microsoft needs more than anything is just time to rebuild. Lady luck rarely (if ever) shows her face in the gaming industry.

Doesn't matter even in the slightest. The Xbox One won't launch in JP until 2014 either.

Wouldn't know, not sure how much success Xbox has had in third world countries. It is however widely known that Xbox has seen next to no success in Japan since inception. They don't cater to the Japanese Market being a primary reason, a few half hearted attempts like Blue Dragon not withstanding.

I don't assume, it IS an advantage, it has it's product on sale sooner so people that are waiting impatiently for next gen, will buy it, and ofcourse the FIFA bundles. And again, an assumption, look, just gtfo, you are awful at arguments, since you can't do anything other than assume stuff.

Just because I don't agree with you doesn't make me a cow; sorry to disappoint you!!!

 

You sell "things" by giving reason why this "thing" is a good value; not by baiting people with a game they could just as easily buy on another platform... It's not smart, it's desperate...

 

That's like someone trying to convence me to buy a Blu-ray player by offering me a free movie with it... Ok?!?!? Why should I buy your Blu-ray player when I can pay $100 less for this one, while still buying the movie and still come out saving money... Same difference with these consoles. Europe is Sony's territory; and with the PS4 being a $100 cheaper, they could still buy FIFA and save money...

 

So what is Microsoft's incentive, now???
