Will the Xbox One be sold in Japan? Microsoft Works to answer this question!

GameNTrade News

 



"Will the next Xbox be sold in Japan?" is a frequently asked question given the 360's enormous failure in the East. It seems that they are still working out details on this launch and are working hard to get some answers about this huge question. They should strive to have bragging rights about being available world wide right?

"I think you'll see some announcements in the not too distant future that I think might delight people," Microsoft's Phil Spencer told IGN. The corporate vice president of Microsoft Game Studios continued, "To me, heading up studios, it's always been a place where we fine the most creative games in the market." That said, the future of Xbox One and Japan still seems uncertain.

Japan remains "an incredibly rich content development community," Spencer said, "and something we're spending a lot of time with and thinking about -- the Japanese creators, and having them creating content on our box and having that show up to the worldwide audience." There have been some debate about if Xbox games produced in Japan would thrive and be worth seeking the market. Only time will tell and when E3 comes around we will see how interested everyone is in the games that are set to come out with this console.

Independant developers may have trouble with xbox one

GameNTrade Ltd

Independent developers wishing to get games on Xbox One's Xbox Live Arcade will still be unable to self-publish, it has been announced.

As it currently stands, indie devs must get a publishing deal with either Microsoft Games Studios or a third-party publisher to get their games on XBLA. The exception to this is titles that opt to release on Xbox Live Indie Games, though this has more financial drawbacks for developers than the more lucrative Arcade section.

There was some speculation following Sony's commitment to independent developers with the PS4 that Microsoft would make things easier for everyone to get games on its console, but it seems this won't be the case.

The company's general manager of Redmond Game Studios and Platforms Matt Booty told Shacknews, "We intend to continue to court developers in the ways that we have."

He did suggest this could change in the future though, adding, "I would also expect that for this new generation, that we're going to continue to explore new business models and new ways of surfacing content. But Microsoft Studios is a publisher that works with a wide range of partners, as do a lot of other people, to bring digital content to the box."

Both Sony and Nintendo allow indie devs to self-publish through PSN and eShop, respectively.

This may be some sad news for some developers. Hope they work this out in your favor.

Xbox One Reveal Revolutionized the Next-gen Industry

GameNTrade News

 



Microsoft has announced many of the specs for the Xbox One at the company's "Xbox Reveal" event, which began at 1 p.m. EDT today. The new Xbox One features an 8-core processor, 8 GB of system memory or RAM, a 500 GB hard drive, 802.11N wi-fi, HDMI, and USB 3.0.

Microsoft said the Xbox One features 5 billion transistors and three operating systems -- one for games (Xbox One), the second is the Windows kernel, the third connects the two for quick system switching and multitasking. The system will have several power states to save energy costs. It will also be nearly silent, according to Microsoft.

 

The new Xbox One controller has a newly designed D-Pad as well as several other new features. The screenshot above shows two buttons replacing the Xbox Home button, one appears to be for window-switching, and the other appears to have a list view or right-click function.

 

 

 

Microsoft said that the Xbox One Kinect sensor will be updated, and will capture content at 1080p. The Xbox One has not been given a specific release date, but will be released later this year, Microsoft announced.

Enjoy,
