TGS teaches Microsoft a lesson
We are just in the middle of the TGS and it seems Microsoft is already learning an invaluable lesson. Arguably, the Xbox 360 and the titles accompanying it, have always catered to Westerners and seeing how Asians gravitate towards fellow Asians (Nintendo and Sony are basically known as Japanese companies), Microsoft wastes no time to act.
Reports are now radiating from Tokyo that this American corporation will soon be opening its doors to Asian developers. Microsoft, accordingly, is also working towards securing key asian game properties. While X360 is still the only next-gen console out in the market, it is a wonder the sales remain low especially in Japan.
We all still have to wait for sometime before we find out how the TGS will affect console sales. It is also exciting to know what could happen to Microsoft as Wii and PS3 come out later this year. Just last month, PSOne still sold more in Japan than the X360. Let’s see if this move works.
