There will be a boost for sure. The fact that Xb one can be had in those markets doesn't mean it's been doing brisk business. In fact given the sales of Xb one to date you'd have to say there's very few people in the Sept 28 markets who are importing Xb one, because if there are substantial numbers doing it, it means things are even more dire in the countries where it is officially on sale. If we assume more or less 50K for the current markets, I think the boost for the Sept 28 markets could take Xb one over 100K for the week. But if PS4 has pretty much sucked all the oxygen out of those markets for Xb one it could be as low as only a 20K boost. Is Japan one of those markets or is Japan a bit later still? If Japan is part of those 28 then I can see Japan contributing 20K by itself. Well down on Xb360 but there are plenty of reasons why Xb one is unlikely to get close to 360 launch in Japan, and two of those reasons are PS4 and Wii U are already out there. |
I know Japan is September, can't remember if its the same day as the others or if its China that's separate.
