Oh yes! "But keep in mind, this is just the fans buying. It will be interesting to see if it will increase steadily over a long time". The PS4 Pro is doing about 5k+ now, but before it wasn't close to that. 

I don’t think it has a chance to increase. From what I’ve read over the internet it seems that Japanese retailers don’t want to sell Xbox at all. Especially the expensive one x. So they probably won’t even buy it from MS. So the sales can’t increase if console won’t sell at all in Japan. 

Yeah and no, you can't buy xbox one x from the stores directly. You had/have to pre order one and then they would order one from MS that's why the stores are full with Xbox one X's sold out signs or like you mention we don't have Xbox one X because we don't want to pre order consoles signs:

So that's bad news... right?

"So yeah, while the Xbox One X did cause a significant boost in Xbox One sales percentage-wise, it’s obvious that it was shipped in very limited quantities, and the fact that major retailers did not carry any availability on day one certainly did not help sales either.

At this point, though, we can probably safely say that the promise of massive power (at least for a console) did not particularly tempt Japanese gamers."

Well yeah is basically the same no? Some stores did not want to carry some, others only would pre order one if a customer pre ordered one.

Is Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia backwards compatible?
