It is atmosphere where the inside of a town is just filled by Xbox -- there is February 22 which is the sale day of Xbox tomorrow, the flag with which the LOGO of Xbox was treated in the main street in Shibuya in Tokyo is flown here and there, and CM of Xbox is simultaneously passed using three sets of all the field visions in front of the Shibuya station.
And in QFRONT of Shibuya where countdown sale of Xbox is performed, Mr. U.S. Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates\'s interview was held from 7:00 a.m. of sale that day constantly [ 21 ] used as several [ more ] hours to sale.
although Mr. GEITSU is the reason which became 3 times of visits to Japan in one year in this time following Tokyo Game Show of the spring of last year, and autumn, Microsoft will be established in \'86 that Mr. GEITSU will visit Japan 3 times in 1 -- since then -- for the first time -- ‚Æ -- things Probably, this may call it manifestation of tackling earnestly, in order that Microsoft may make Xbox successful in Japan. At the beginning of an interview, probably, he may call it the comment of ‚±‚», since he thinks that a success in a Japanese market is indispensable to Mr. [ GEITSU / itself ] at a success of Xbox, although Mr. GEITSU said, "He can visit Japan at hand [ the ] and it is a delightful limitation, although Xbox will be put on the market tomorrow."
If the contents of an interview itself are important also for the game industry, Xbox is not only a product important for Microsoft, but Advertize the importance of Xbox or The graphic function and 5.1-channel sound function of Xbox, It was not an old thing and a greatly different thing to suppose that the features, such as hard disk built-in and a network function, are designed by the inquiry for the game play of Xbox of the next generation, and to emphasize the difference from other game machines which compete anew etc.
However, the comment which was considerably conscious of the thing of Japan, such as saying that it is a point very important for Xbox that it has tied up with the software development maker of Japan which is developing the game which was most excellent in the world, mentioning the game maker in Japan, such as Tecmo, Sega, KONAMI, and NAMCO, or introducing having prepared the controller of exclusive use for those for Japanese markets and Xbox Special Edition which is a Japanese original model, was also conspicuous.
Incidentally it declares Mr. GEITSU saying within an interview, "He expects that I myself will hand the 1st set of Xbox directly at 7:00 a.m. in the morning tomorrow", standing on a shop front by tomorrow\'s countdown sale, and selling Xbox himself. Although it stood on the shop front itself [ GEITSU Mr. ] and Xbox was sold when Xbox was put on the market in a North America market, it was shown clearly that the ceremony same also in Japan was performed. How about carrying [ if it thinks that he will go out from early morning tomorrow for the purchase of Xbox ] a leg to Shibuya QFRONT?
DEAD OR ALIVE 3" is pitched against each other by Mr. Oura and Mr. GEITSU. Mr. GEITSU overwhelms a result.
All of three sets of the field visions in front of the station in Shibuya are Xbox.
