Hamaguchi Naoki (FF7 Rebirth director) decided to buy a Firestick, feeling grateful to Phillip W. Spencer III for playing FF7 Rebirth at TGS

I’m more interested in the part about Spencer pushing the Firestick for gaming. I really wonder what the subscription rate for streaming services are in Japan. I know they have a great infrastructure for broadband, so I imagine it’s pretty high. I know that Microsoft is a service company and getting everyone on streaming is probably their end goal. This might be how they get into their harder markets without making a bunch of hardware that doesn’t sell.

The number of users of video streaming services in Japan is 40 million, and 70% of them are subscribed to Amazon Prime.
In other words, the potential number of Xbox users surpasses that of Nintendo Switch 🙅‍♂️ 🙅‍♂️ 🙅‍♂️
