Microsoft Japan holds “Girls-Only Xbox Party” and it looks awesome!【Pics】
Cute snacks and fun decorations make the Xbox seem a lot more inviting.
The Xbox One has two big strikes against it in Japan compared to its competitors. First, it’s just not nearly as popular a console as the Wii U or Playstation 4. Second, it’s perceived as a console intended for males, lacking in the cute/cool factor that the Wii U and mobile games bring to the table.
So in an attempt to kill two birds with one stone, Xbox Japan recently held a very special party at Microsoft Japan Headquarters in Tokyo: a girls-only Xbox party!
▼ The online invitation to the party, welcoming female newbies
and pros alike. How could anyone say no to those fluffy Alpaca-kuns?

▼ Oh my god… the little Alpaca-kun cookies say “I <3 Xbox!” on them.
My <3 is melting…

▼ I think the Xbox would be a lot more
popular in Japan if this was its official mascot.

not all of them necessarily Xbox-themed.

a Halo deathmatch constantly going on?

The response online seemed to be mostly positive, so take note, Sony and Nintendo! If you’re going to keep pace with the inevitable surge in women buying Xboxes, then you’re going to have to hold parties of your own with cute cakes and cookies.
And don’t forget about us guys too! I for one am more than willing to be easily – and happily – swayed by sweets.
