Microsoft is the company that, right after launching the XBox 1 (the other one) in Japan, they immediately laid off people; not realizing what a cultural taboo that is in Japan and set themselves up for failure for every subsequent launch in Japan after that

can't read this without hearing "square just shot themselves in the foot"

i just googled this and it's funny in the enraged gamer way but not what i meant. the japanese public aren't very receptive to american companies and Microsoft didn't bother to think "lets wait a few weeks after the xbox 1 launch before firing a bunch of Japanese people since people here are already iffy about us"

i don't think any Japanese businessmen or the general public gave a poo poo that yet another trash FF game is cross platform lol

Microsoft didn't bother to do undergrad level of research when trying to win over a country

i get what you mean, japan's pretty much a place of working at the same company until you retire right?

hell just in general that's an incredibly disrespectful practice

you were supposed to use those memory cards

it also only came with composite cables and a wired controller

i believe the launch arcade came with a 256mb memory card, that was it

backlit keyboard, usable trackpad, app store you'd want to use, can be used on a lap

any advertising where you feel the need to compare a list of features with a competitor like an dyp phone buyer just ends up making you look horribly insecure.

"oh god why won't you buy me i'm just as good as him i'm such a nice guy please why do you only buy rear end in a top hat tablets for hipsters i'd treat you so much better"
