I don't see many Japanese developed games going to Xbox...unless they get that Gamepass bag

It feels kind of scummy, that Microsoft, have to pay Japanese publishers up front to have their games on the Xbox platform. Nintendo and Sony seemingly doesn't have to barter at all.

Xbox still doesn't sell very much in Japan, so many Japanese developers see it a small install base.

Xbox Japan, doesn't really have anything to do with how well a title will sell to the Western fanbase. You can't get sales if you exclude products from potential customers.

True, but still, I think they first think about the fanbase in their own country. The first Xbox also have some exclusive games from Japan but didn't sell very much, especially in their own country.

Well, I just think its short sided view by some of the Japanese publishers. Of coarse there other factors why they don't bring over certain releases.

They tried making games with more western appeal (Ace Combat Assault Horizon), but it backfired.
I think Capcom saw the data that their more "Japanese" games are sold better on PS4, Switch, and PC. It's not their first time too. The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles also didn't release on Xbox.

I'm definitely not going to deny the numbers. Sometimes, it just feels random, which games end up coming to Xbox.
Getting to a world where every major jp release looks like its coming to steam and/or pc.
Hopefully Altus don't fuck it up with the next drop.
On the xbox issue,
1) my purchasing behaviour largely depends on if its on playanywhere. I will probably end up getting p5r on xbox for that reason
2) xbox unfortunately needs to do the 'hard work' of constantly trying to cultivate a user base that wants Japanese games. They can do it via GP imo but whether they keep it up who know. Personally I look like I will be fine cause I have a Steamdeck.

When I was looking into buying them it sounded like they were buggy and had some horrendous input lag.

I think the PlayStation version has a bit of input lag issues. But of course the biggest culprit, by FAR, is the Switch version which is horrendous in that regard. So yeah if the Switch is your only having platform, stay away.
I think the issue is most pronounced with the first Mega Man X Collection (the one with X - X4 on it) on Switch, where the input lag for Mega Man X is so laughably bad that tech reviewers actually recommend against that version.

Blame MS for not making a bigger push in the Japanese market..? If they're not even cracking the top 50 in Japan then most publishers are going to be hard pressed to find a reason to continue supporting them
