After a disappointing start, Microsoft hopes to increase sales in Japan by offering Kinect titles more suited to Japanese public. The Japanese general manager for the Xbox 360, Takashi Sensui has now admitted in a press conference (spread by Andriasang) that the motion controller from Microsoft, despite more than 10 million copies distributed by November 2010 throughout the world, has respected sales forecasts for the market in Japan.
His hope is that with the arrival of some IP and more like family to the Japanese public and the "core gamer", the Kinect receive sufficient thrust to improve their performance. Not surprisingly, at the last Tokyo Game Show, Microsoft announced a range of exclusive titles for Xbox 360 developed in Japan, some of which have support Kinect.
These include Codename D, Haunt, Project Draco, Rise of Nightmares and Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor, which we propose the trailer below. The Xbox 360 has never had it easy in Japan. Although Nipponese landed on the coast in November 2005, just last month, Microsoft was able to announce the goal of reaching 1.5 million units sold in the country.
And if in March 2009 after three years and three months of presence on the shelves, were a million Xbox 360 sales in Japan, it means that it took another two years and three months to increase the number of 500,000 units.
