Sales for the month will only be slightly more then the last mabye 10%. They need an awesome holiday bundle with no kinect 2 controllers 2 games and 24 months of free xbox live for $399. Same bundle with kinect for $450. Also $350 with 1 game 1 controler no kinect. Just during holidays. Sure they lose there ass off but numbers will skyrocket and you will get more exciting exclusives, game sales and momentum. Then to $425 for game, controler, 6 months live and no kinect. $499 with kinect, game, controler and 12 months live. To make sure momentum doesn't die down too much. Working overtime and get some kick ass games out sooner will also help, with getting at least 2 games in japan that is extremely popular there and having it an xbox one eclusive along with $50 equivelent cheaper price then ps4 with extras, like game and controler. When it's released in japan this year.


I think my head just spun off reading this..

Xb1 will win Japan more or less.

Do you think they'll actually do such awesome bundles? And I honestly don't know why they're even releasing in Japan, didn't they get some exlusives and so on for the 360 and it still died on its feet?

It seems that PS4 is the new PS2.

I don't know if they will but they need too have these awesome bundles.  If I rember right blu ray had something similar with blu ray players, you would get like 5 free movies. They did have xbox 360 exclusives in Japan,  but they weren't that good. I'am talking about extremely popular games already out but a follow up of that game and exlusive. They cheaped out with the 360 exclusives and didn't analyze it very well. If they don't do something remotely like this then they will be worse off then the Wii U.

Nope, even at $399 it's still less powerful than the competition at the SAME PRICE! It still has less games to play on it...and will CONTINUE to have less games for it. It will NOT stream to a 2nd TV (or 3rd, 4th or 5th) or let you play away from home with a portable unit. It will NOT support VR in a year or two, either. Why would someone buy an Xbox? Halo. That's about it. And Halo isn't going to swing enough customers over to the Xbox camp to matter. This console is DONE...stick a fork in it already.

US has little to no brand loyalty. The XB1 face the disadvantage of not being popular and generally being known for worse multiplats, the 399 kinectless bundle will only sway people who were going to buy xb1 anyway

Yep there's far too much to muddy the waters in terms of just looking at one month. July will tell the tale until Nov/Dec
