Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbox One X Pre-Orders Sold Out at Major Japanese Retailers; No Day One in-Store Availability Planned

Will definitely be interesting to see, how much the X has sold in Japan, once numbers are revealed.

Since Microsoft doesn't release numbers for the Xbox One and they claimed that the Xbox One X is a premium product for the few, I can only sanely conclude that actually numbers are laughable.

Wouldn't surprise me if they only allocated a couple of thousand to Japan for the launch. It is a smaller more attractive console than past designs though. I know they practically laughed at the original xbox. Smaller is better in Japan.

I wonder how they felt about the duke. 



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

I'd be surprised if it sold over 5,000 units. Not being mean, just the reality of the Japanese market for Microsoft.

We’ll get numbers through Media Create ;)

Yep, definitely revitalised the Xbox market in Japan!

Yeah! I can already see 10X more sales at lauch week, perhaps even "amazing" 4 digit sales numbers. lol

Believe me, your comment here isn't actually mean.



Proud to be a Californian.

Well online pre-orders sold out very quickly. I wasn't able to get a pre-order in after they opened up. I'm guessing that the allocation for JP isn't that high.

Since I wasn't able to pre-order one, I'm probably just going to hold off on it for awhile and stick with my standard X1S for now. Although I did pick up that custom Minecraft X1S for my gf.

I'm actually surprised they're releasing it at the same time. It took them awhile before they actually started selling the X1S here.

Isn't the whole point of pre-orders to gauge interest and meet demand? Why do they always sell out!
