I am of the opinion that with the recenttrack record of xbox in Japan and the response from Japanese developers to the xbox ,I think it was time Ms focussed more on other parts of Asia now before it becomes too hot to handle.
It's been over 2 years now since the release of the xbox while the console still continues to struggle it can be said that it's been a success so far except in Japan, It is with this failure of the xbox in Japan that I write for discussion. Ms has tried quite a few gimmicks but with little or no results while there are still many options outthere that are certain to work. I would think it was about time other Asian countries were brought into the industry. I think instead of the continious wooing over of Japanese developers it would be better if Ms tried bringing up developers from places like HongKong ,Taiwan,and S.Korea. Although you wouldn't find many developers here and probably not ones on the Japanese level but with a little time I believe they can ouyshine their counterparts in Japan take Phantagram interactive for example they have one of the best 3d artist I have ever seen and their level of graphic detail is unbelievable. HongKong ,Taiwan and S.Korea practically lead the movie industry in Asia and given time ,money and all the support I believe will emerge champions in these department as well. I believe now is the time to start something huge there already a few Japanese developers are setting their site over there If Ms atarts now they might have a few solid development teams with some awesome game ready for their next generation system(xbox 2 or whatever)and then things may finally become interesting.
