New Xbox Japan GM appointed

Takashi Sensui has replaced Yoshihiro Maruyama as general manager of the Xbox Division for Microsoft Japan.
Was someone not doing his job? Sensui has been promoted from his position as director of the marketing department and game content group, while Maruyama has been shipped off to "a strategic position within Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices Division." Right. Will the move turn things around for Microsoft in Japan? Not likely—at least, not for some time. Sensui agrees, stating, "We acknowledge that achieving success in Japan will not come easily or quickly for Xbox."
