Anyway, congratulations to Microsoft for once again reassuring the Japanese industry and the wider buying public here that they really are a reliable partner and employer whose support can be counted on for the long haul. You earned such a tremendous amount of confidence and good will around the time of the original Xbox's release when you laid off people in your main Japanese branch in such an unprecedentedly brazen manner by local standards, it's nice to see you've been inspired to try your luck and repeat that cycle once again twenty years later.
I look forward to retrospectives on this period a decade from now when the media asks you why you still continue to struggle to attain genuine support in this sector without Game Pass contracts and sheer international inertia and all your executive team will be able to do is shrug their arms and reply, "But, we tried."
