Microsoft won’t be at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, which runs from September 17 to 20 at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba, the company announced. “2015 will continue to provide an attractive game line-up, exclusive titles included,” Microsoft Japan category marketing group’s Masayuki Inoue said in a statement. “This year, Microsoft will not exhibit the Tokyo Game Show, but we’re making various preparations to deliver the latest Xbox news to fans and media. We will provide an update as soon as we can.” Going by Inoue’s comment, it appears Microsoft might be preparing its own event for Japan.
The decision is speculated to be due to the poor performance of Microsoft’s Xbox platforms, the Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
Sony, which is based in Japan and usually attends TGS with a big presence, has not announced its attendance.
First seen at: Gematsu, Famitsu
