Microsoft followed the idiom, “If the Japanese consumers like the look of it, so will the rest of the world.” Unfortunately, an appealing design can’t overcome decades of brand loyalty, at least in this case. It hired a Japanese design firm, Hers Experimental Design Laboratory, to aid in creating a more peaceful design. In fact, Microsoft tried a similar tactic when developing the Xbox 360.Īfter the original Xbox’s disappointing sales in Japan, Microsoft decided to design the Xbox 360 around Japanese sensibilities. Having an “American” tone map makes it seem like you’re catering to that market. I understand why they did it: JoWood wants to break into the North American market, where the Gothic franchise hasn’t met with much success. They named one “American” and the other “European.” I would’ve appreciated the extra customization option. They could have just called the two tone maps “TM1” and “TM2.” I would have been happy with that. And they are so confident in their results, that they are making no attempt to hide it. But JoWood and Spellbound are also stating that they’ve discovered the color scheme that most appeals to Americans and the one that most appeals to Europeans. With these two tone maps, publisher JoWood Entertainment and developer Spellbound are definitively stating that Americans and Europeans appreciate two different color schemes.
