X Box Launch Delayed in Japan

Author: DeathGiGasXG
News sources suggest that the X Box's debut in Japan might be delayed to 2002...

Microsoft's new toy, the X Box, seems to have to face some problems along the way of being the top console. Microsoft boasted at the Tokyo Game Show last year a list of Japanese developers ready to work on the X Box. So far, only Konami has answered Microsoft's call.

So is Microsoft in for a world of hurt? It seems so if Konami is their only support at the moment. Square has reported, though, that Final Fantasy X might make an apperance on the X Box. Many major videogame developers have yet to answer Microsoft's call on the subject of X Box titles.

Although it is unclear yet who is going to develop for the X Box, some companies will likely be developers. Small companies such as Koei and Taito will probably develop for the X Box, along with possibly Namco and Sega. The most interesting company not to confirm development for the X Box is Capcom.

X Box's concern does't lie in development of videogames, but the poor trend of sales that American made games show in Japan. Without the strength of Japan, X Box might succumb as fast as the Dream Cast. Will the Game Cube and PS2 beat out the X Box once and for all?
