Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbox One to be Sold in Japan in Limited Quantities

So limited quantities in Japan to create artificial demand. Might as well. Maybe artificial demand will get more sales. 

Microsoft set to launch the Xbox One with 50 consoles a week confirmed?


Artificial demand does not create moe sales lol, MS is not gonna sell much in japan regardless.

Geez, some of you guys. Says the same thing on the english site

I don't need to look up any facts, i know all about the new Xbox U controller



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’

I wonder if they made an X1 look like an Apple product, would it sell better in Japan?

Honestly I view many aspects of western culture as eccentric, not sure why felt need to put that word in the article.

In any event I am curious how much energy Microsoft puts in as if they do not have a release date likely gives PS4 several months head start.

This was expected because Microsoft is not famous in Japan!!!



Xbox One will sell in small quantity in Japan ?

Thank god they told us, would never have expected this.



This will be interesting, it will be double digit sales week in week out.

Nooo they need to buy some exclusive jrpgs like they did early on with the 360.


No matter what they do in Japan will be a wasted effort. Especially when their console costs more this time around and didn't come a year earlier to hold some ground like X360 did.


The vita is selling badly in America and we still get these low selling games from japanese devs coming over here and it's not increasing console sales much. At yhis point I just want my systems to have a lot of variety.  

 

@ bolded you can't say that honestly.



Well even if Japan avoid MS and it sells no more than 1M, that will be a lot more than most of the countries... by some people logic MS and Sony should just release in about 15 countries EVER.
