Microsoft’s TGS lineup includes few Japanese games

‘Why doesn’t Xbox sell in Japan?’ asked nobody ever.

Microsoft has revealed its Tokyo Game Show lineup, and one has to wonder how much it will resonate the crowd next week at the Makuhari Messe convention center.

Japan has never embraced the Xbox brand, largely due to a lack of software designed to appeal to the local market, and a slate of titles like this doesn’t figure to bring about a sea change.
