This article nails it that the Xbox brand is a no go for smaller/mid size physical games.
This part in the article: “Microsoft also has a minimum order quantity for their games, and their whole structure isn’t really geared toward niche games or smaller games like Japanese titles, so they’re not really supportive of Japanese games or developers.”
And it is not just NIS that is affected by this practice,Yacht Club Games tried getting Shovel Knight retail on Xbox One, but it got cancelled "because of publishing policies on the platform that are totally beyond our control, we couldn't make it happen.": https://www.polygon.com/2015/10/8/94841 ... e-canceled
And Limited Run Games also can not do releases because of a "Microsoft's minimum order quantities are too high, unless they drop them drastically it's not likely we can hit the platform." situation! https://twitter.com/LimitedRunGames/sta ... 8985207808
Man, a great reason not to get the Xbox One, and the critic is 100% right about this joke of a console!: viewtopic.php?f=5084&t=16379
