Xbox One Japan Boss Resigns

December 1, 2014

Xbox Japan boss Takashi Sensui has announced that he will be resigning.

News of his resignation comes from a report in the latest issue of Famitsu (via Kotaku), which also notes that Sensui won't be departing Microsoft entirely, but will instead now serve as General Manager for the Interactive Entertainment Business.

Both Consumer and Partner Group general manager Yoshinami Takahashi and Consumer and Partner Group Retail Business boss Nobuyoshi Yokoi will be working together to fill his role.

Apparently there's a bit of reorganization going on over at Xbox Japan, and something tells me it's in response to the Xbox One's sub-par performance in the region.
