Through all of that text, I think the question should be pointed at you. What were you expecting? No matter what context you choose to place this in, it's a dreadful number. If all they shipped was 40K, it's still a dreadful number. While news outlets continue to push just why this bad, I'm not sure why some of you continue to fight the fight. And even if you wanted to compare the PS4's launch numbers to the PS2's, the X1's numbers aren't just dreadful next to both the 360 and orignial Xbox, they're dreadful in general (not the same case for the PS4, as unlike its predecessor, its numbers went up). The PS2 was an anomaly (as evident by NO console topping its first week there). Thus, it would be a moot point and grasping, at best. |
I was expecting 30k
As I said in my post if we're simply looking at it in context of japanese hardware launches the numbers were always going to be bad and xbox has only ever had bad numbers in this regard. It would just seem a rather mute point to make. Equally it was going to sell less then the 360 a system which launched without any competition, during a time where console gaming was faring a lot better too and MS made a strong effort to assure japanese gamers they will be recieving JRPG galore. Just saying I thought we would be a little more considerate in the quality of discussion here, with some guage of where the xbox is going, where MS is devoting their resources and what would be realistic for it to sell in Japan.
But lets ignore all of that, xbox one sales are low, shock horror lol
