Japanese Xbox boss resigns

As we can see every week through the sales figures posted online by the institute MediaCreatethe different models of Microsoft’s console are struggling to sell in Japan and today we discover that these poor scores got the better of the desire to Takashi Sensuithe boss of the group’s Japanese division.

The latter resigned from his position as general manager of Microsoft’s Xbox division, which he had held for eight years. Despite his resignation, the latter is not leaving Microsoft, because he will continue to play a role for the company, but on the American side this time.

Following this announcement, Microsoft reveals that it is now Yoshinami Takahashi who will ensure this role on the archipelago. It is also quite funny to see that the person concerned is a newcomer to the manufacturer who recruited him last July while the latter made his debut at Sony as shown in the extract from his CV available below. below.

1987 – Sony Corporation joins the Consumer Sales Division
1991 – Product Manager for Sony America
2001 – Sony Eurasia Deputy General Manager
2004 – Sony Europe Vice President, Consumer Group
2007 – Sony Corporation Home Entertainment
2012 – Sony America, Executive Vice President, Consumer Marketing
July 2014 – Joined Microsoft Japan Co., Ltd. and appointed Executive Officer Consumer & Partners Group General Manager

It therefore seems that Microsoft is seeking to take advantage of the experience acquired over many years at Sony by Yoshinami Takahashi in order to relaunch itself in the Land of the Rising Sun.
