I am not trying to predict that Xbox will sell a crazy number, but the interesting thing is that the clearly real Xbox Series S console should be much smaller than the other next gen consoles and could be an interesting option for some in Japan.
50 min has lot potential

Hopefully we will have good news about asian games. And oh boy, imagine if they finally builds a japanese or an asian studio 
Interesting.
Iām expecting a big focus on xCloud for this event, Japan loves mobile gaming.

Obviously they will advertise xcloud and gamepassā¦ Like theyāve been doing every where else.
Itās big, for sure. And the showcase is 50 minutes. Way too much time to just talk about xcloud and gamepass.

Would be strange to be the opener and donāt have something to show.
Do you guys think itās just going to be a rehash of the May/July event? like they usually do at gamescon
They havenāt announced xcloud for Japan yet. It is not mentioned at all on the Xbox Japan homepage. Even the description of gamepass which only launched in Japan a few months ago, doesnāt mention that streaming is on the way.
To say that the Xbox one has failed in Japan would be a massive understatement. They literally sell dozens of consoles here each week. Xcloud with a partnership with SoftBank or docomo would be a great opportunity to make a foothold here.
Thatās why I think there will be a larger xcloud focus than you would see at an American event.
They used to be there with early 360 days and actually had some constant news from the event.
Hope we eventually get to that level of support again.
I think they will have plenty to show in terms of content but I think itās mostly going to be third party and XGS is the wildcard. I could see a game or two they are working with independent Japan developers with XGS publishing but Iām not sure on anything else. Forza and Killer Instinct do have small but dedicated fanbases in Japan. If they have KI in development it could be a great opportunity to announce there. It will be interesting to see what they have to show though.
Excellent news! 1st time for Xbox to kick off the TGS right?
Hope they nailed it and deliver some big surprisesā¦Weāll see.
50 minutes? Thatās a lot of time to fill. Iām going to try to keep my speculations in check, but man my brain is starting to run wild.

Yāall probably know at this point, butā¦ Xbox has been working on a exclusive japanese title for a while. I didnāt found out if will be full exclusive to Series X, but, my bets are with Xbox Game Publishingā¦
hope they reveal it during TGS

Wow, great news!
I wonder what they will show. Would be a nice place to announce a new japanese studioā¦
I feel like Xcloud is going to help Xbox in these markets MUCH more, they probably wonāt give up as fast because pushing xcloud wouldnāt be too costly there than having to stock shelves with consoles and hoping people buy them. Surely itās only marketing costs to get people onto Xcloud and server costs but Azure is already in these places so thatās a bit murky.
Anyway itās I hope it does well there so they have more options in these markets

Iām not sure I expect them to show anything new, possibly extra game play of something known, and maybe an additional set of third party games or something. That said, I think itās good theyāre going back, just for visibility. And if they DO announce xCloud, I agree with others that this would be a good market for it.
Nothing beyond that for now. Although, this is a secret at the same level of TIās game (The Initiative). Not many people knows what this project will be.
How long has this been in some form of development?
