LOL 2M or just 1.5M?

At this rate they'd be lucky to hit 10% of that, lifetime.

It might do better then 360

lol wtf? HOW?

you think Microsoft can get kh3 ff16 exclusively or you think they will be multiplatform in the first case it's imposible no 3rd party will risk to lose million of potential buyers by not releasing it on ps4 if it's multiplatform it will just sell like the 13 and 13x2 did on xb360 in mean between 10k and 20k lifetimes.

It doesn’t look like Microsoft will much more effort then they did with x360 in Japan

X1 is a dead man walking in Japan. Even odds it's in any more than a single store by this time next year. And Sony better light a fire under PS4, as although it's not dead, it's also not taking off like crazy either.

Japan, China, Korea, UK, Aus/NZ, Africa, ME, these are all markets that don't really matter much though. The real battles are US and EU, where 85%+ of global sales will come from.

probably yes, but my statement still stands

it doenst matter, if xb1 would sell 2m or 1.5m in japan. i would not change anything for the xbox one in japan.

it will matter if xbox sells only 500k or would magically do 3.5m +

thats my point

Be amazed if it reached 500k.

Given the first 3 weeks of performance, hitting 500k is pretty much looking like the best possible outcome for the Xbox One. xP unless there's been a surge in sales since it's third week, during which I believe it sold not even 2000 units. At that rate, it would take about 4 to 5 years, to reach even that number, and that's assuming the sales don't go lower than 2000 a week on average. Considering stores are probably going to start dropping the console, beyond maybe one or two units, due to low performance, it's pretty unlikely sales are even going to manage 2000 a week on average in Japan for the entirety of the five-year period.

Ah okay. Looks more like 200k lifetime will be max. I will agree that Japan is largely irrelevant to MS, and China is irrelevant to both of them. It's all small potatoes compared to US and EU, where the huge bulk of global sales come from.

xbox one brand is as weak as never in japan

home console market in japan is declining

i would hope if they can do the 1m goal lifetime.

only chance for xbox one in japan is a killer exclusive everyone wants to play

still doubt it
