Microsoft: Releasing Xbox One in Japan 'As Is' Would Be Difficult
Microsoft are having a slight hiccup with the Xbox One - it's not sure whether to release it 'as is' in Japan, or to make a few revisions.

According to Microsoft Japan CEO Yasuyuki Higuchi (translated by Edge) "We're still figuring out how to deal with things like music and video services in each country. To be honest, (releasing it in Japan) as is would be difficult."

Higuchi stated that the Japanese Xbox One release date "will not be delayed very much behind the US". The console is due to release in November 2013, so we may be looking at the start of next year before the Japanese release.

The CEO went on to say that "There's no point in a solution that does not match the market. Even if we bring NFL (on board for Japan), haha... Japan is difficult. I'm almost tempted to ask for ideas."

Well, does anyone have any suggestions for Mr. Higuchi?
