In the exchange between Xbox chief Phil Spencer and his colleagues, which happened on June 1, 2020, Spencer mentioned that Sega was doing a “nice job” in supporting Microsoft: “I love the rumors that we’d launch our Xbox in Japan with a Sega logo on it.”

He then added a few additional people to the conversation, writing: “There is a root of an idea here.” Spencer’s rough plan was that Sega could release a Limited Edition of the Xbox Series X|S in Japan with its own branding, maybe even including some of its popular franchises like Sonic. “They are doing good work with us on a lot of fronts and it could be something to consider,” he wrote.

Imagine being so shytty in a region that you have to cosplay your system as another brand.

another failed console brand at that

At this point xbox might as well just have colt Eastwood or one of those xbox brand ambassadors on twitter run the whole label at this point, doesn’t make a difference. Anything they read on twitter that sounds good they get excited and email each other about
