DroidKnight said: The Series S/X console hardware sales have cleared the half a million mark at 2 years and 10 months. With the generation possibly lasting into 2028, it has plenty of time to get close to the Xbox 360 sales and maybe surpass it. 5 more years of added sales. Much will have to do with getting the stock issues cleared up. The future Xbox library through 2028 is looking great and should see plenty of more excitement stirred up. |
Xbox still has few, if any, console exclusives that will make a splash with Japan.
But Japan does really like Minecraft. Also, Persona games are coming to Xbox in a big way. There are also some other Japanese games getting ports to Xbox.
I don't think Xbox will be front-heavy in Japan. Some cynics could say it is, and that it will barely scrape 800,000-1 million. Again, that seems unlikely. Xbox is going to continue building its library and maybe will even have some price cuts in Japan one day as well (but price cuts are becoming a thing of the past).
