Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Could Xbox One end up pulling 360 like Japanese numbers in Europe this gen?

Excellent sales thread Spurge! I agree with you, the Xbox One will do a lot worse than the Xbox 360 in Europe, 11k a week is really low.

I don't think it'll hit 360 Japan levels, but it'll still do really badly. The majority of its European sales come from the UK and even there, the Xbox One hasn't done well. I think its performance will be closer to 360 Japan numbers than the 360 Europe numbers.

People can say what they want about how the Xbox One has not been released in other parts of Europe yet. However, much of the "2nd tier" European countries have already been selling Xbox Ones through imports. The thing is that no one is buying them, so officially releasing the console in those countries will make minimal impact.



I would certainly wait until the holidays for the new price and expanded launch countries tot take effect before rendering judgement



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

I don't think (relative to the 360) it will do as badly in the EU as the 360 did in Japan, but as a whole the X1 is doing pretty poorly over here right now.

Once it releases in its 2nd/3rd tier countries it should see a weekly boost, but it won't be hugely significant. MS haven't held off on officially releasing in those regions despite having plenty of stock for teh lolz, they know full well they are minor markets for the Xbox brand.

Still, we're only a few months into the 8th gen, anything(ish :p) could happen.



It won't be that bad, but EU sales are extremely poor for X1 right now, even more so considering the majority is from the UK. X1 in mainland Europe has bombed so far

I have to ask but is this a serious thread? Or simply just a premature one? You do realize it's not out in numerous territories in Europe and has a same price sku as ps4 launching this year right? Save this article for whenever the playing field is level than make a comparison thats my opinion anyways.



Obviously not. Wait for Halo.



Wow, I didn't realize how poorly XBO was doing in Europe.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

The X1 is obviously not going too well in Europe, but I think the new Halo games will certainly help!

My prediction for XO is:

35 milion in North America
12 milion in Europe
1 milion in Japan
And 50 milion Global
