Xbox's relationship with the Asian market has always been a whiting that bites its tail: Its low implementation rate makes it not profitable to make specific ports for the console, which leads to not having games that interest that market, therefore it fails to end up being relevant. Microsoft is aware of the situation and recognizes that the acquisition of an Asian study would be beneficial for them.
“Of course, we could publish relationships there, we could do it; I think it's fine, ”Spencer said about having a greater Microsoft presence in Asia when asked about acquiring a study of the area during an interview with Game Informer «But I also believe that as we continue to evolve our platform, having a voice of your own study on the table that is from Asia, be it Japan or another market, would be a good complement for us«.
Those of Redmond have shared on more than one occasion their intentions to strengthen their presence in the Asian market with the possibility of acquiring a study of the area, but So far he has opted for new agreements with local companies that have led to the arrival of the Yakuza saga, among other things. We will see if in 2020, with the launch of Xbox Series X on the horizon, it surprises with some specific movement for this market.
