Xbox One needs simultaneous Japan launch to be successful
Speaking with the site Miyauchi said, “I think Microsoft gave up promoting and presenting the Xbox 360 in Japan, it didn’t keep the momentum there. And if they can release the Xbox One as close as possible to [the] North American release date, I think that would make a really big difference this time around.”
Miyauchi also shed light on an apparent lack of communication between Microsoft and Japanese studios regarding Xbox One’s technical capabilities.
“Not a lot of information has come to the Japanese game developers. So I think at this point now we don’t have much information until they make an official presentation to us; then [developers] would understand what they will be able to do.”
He’s also of the belief that the Xbox 360 was not successful in Japan because of brand loyalty to Sony and PS2.
Meanwhile Microsoft believes releasing Xbox One ‘as is’ would be difficult in Japan.
Also, Xbox one will be released in Japan during the second launch wave, and this November in the west.

EvenTeamModsbigchukka-Wub Sony will always be Japans favorite.
Yeah i would agree but MS could pull a move to get everyone's attention. We will need to wait and see.
I don't think Microsoft can dominate Sony in Japan though.
Yes, I agree as well.
Only because Sony is a Japanese company, they have the upper hand.
MS may not be able to dominate Japan but they could still pull something off

Japan, Hong Kong, China. All these have one thing in common, they have the highest number of modified consoles. You can walk any street and find a shop that'll offer a service. PS2/3 were easier to chip, and so, became the favourite.
If you want to appeal to the market they will have to make it easier to mod. They know this, that's why they come across as not bothered.

Wagering Sony has the upper hand in Japan though, so I can't imagine much of a change.
Hopefully everything will work out though
