Good news: I could see XB1 sales increasing by at least 50% for the week!
Bad News: That is about 100 extra units.

Microsoft abandoned Japan this generations. There is nothing they can do there now.

Xbox is a lost cause in Japan. So, no, it won't help.

It keep selling around 140+ units each week.
I dont think lowering the price will help it much in japan to be honest.

I doubt they ever had a chance this gen. So it was the right decision to only put minimal effort into this.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Pretty sure Japan have been the ones abandoning Xbox. But that still doesnt change the result. This won't help.

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

41$? Good price, but a futile attempt. Microsoft will sell those consoles, loss a big chunk of money on them, and not affect the marketshare whatsoever.

It was lowered by 41$, not to 41$

I thought it was "to" as well at first, that would have been incredible.
