Japanese Xbox manager replaced

In a sign that Microsoft isn't taking the poor sales of the Xbox 360 in Japan sitting down, Yoshihiro Maruyama is being replaced as general manager of the Xbox Division for Microsoft Japan by Takashi Sensui. Sensui was director of the marketing department and game content group before being promoted; Maruyama is being demoted transitioned "to a new role where his unique vision and foresight will be applied in a strategic capacity within the Entertainment and Devices organization."

Luckily Sansui has no illusions about the difficulty of capturing Japanese market share, stating, "We acknowledge that achieving success in Japan will not come easily or quickly for Xbox."
