I don't think it will have that many sales as Kinect launches on the 20th (which is a Saturday). Games usually launch in Japan on Thursdays. I'm not sure why MS chose to launch on a Saturday, as usually only Pokemon and Dragon Quest games launch on Saturdays.

Do consoles generally launch on weekdays or weekends?

Below 10k space requirments will kill it.

Well the shortness of japanese will mitigate the space issues to a degree.

I can only assume that's a very straight faced joke.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

It may just nudge over 10k by a small margin.

Space? Is the fact that all Japenese live in shoeboxes a myth. I understand that in Tokyo for example space is a premium but what about the rest of Japan or what about the average Japan householder are they really living in shoeboxes?

Is this myth of fact?

Kinect as seen by PS3 owners ...if you can pick at it   ...post it ... Did I mention the 360 was black and Shinny? Keeping Sigs obscure since 2007, Passed by the Sig police 5July10.

I don't see it doing very well. Move didn't quite move that well over there.

Even if Kinect was Sony's or a Japanese console device I don't quite see it setting Japan alight.

I agree with whoever said it's a lot to do with the space required but that is only part of it.

Unlike the wii you can't sit on your ass and play any games with kinect...at least that I know of.

Below 10k. Maybe 5k IMHO.
