Indeed, I would be interested to see what the Seppuku metrics are for this position.

I’m guessing he must have done something really bad in his old position to be punished like this

I have to admire Microsoft that they keep trying to sell the x360 in Japan. I wish them good luck tho, since gamers in Japan aren’t very interested in online shooters and Kinect.

“since gamers in Japan aren’t very interested in online shooters and Kinect”
Or western made games in general. Not like ME, Elder Scrolls or Forza do all that well either. JP is pretty closed off, and that in turn results in why their games are on the decline in western markets too. They don’t like to play em, and can’t figure out how to make em(western style games).

Nothing can save 360 in Japan, not even Vesperia did… SHUMPs are the only genre the 360 is booming…
