Forums - Microsoft - Kinect in Japan...is that real?

I was just commenting on this the other day. wondering what it will do. We still have to see some numbers but from the looks of it, it could be good.

So ahh.... Are we supposed to be suprised to see 150 people at one store lining up for Kinect in Japan?

 

Surely people weren't expecting just 10 people there or something...



We've seen it before. Tales of Vesperia had similar line ups, and that was without Keiji fucking Muto. I wouldn't get excited about Xbox's chances in Japan just yet... it only leads to heartbreak.



whether this kind of thing happened for xbox360 before or not, this is good to see. 

Probably will be the last time for xbox360 -but i hope this catches on.

Always will, always have been. It's a shame really.

This is a conspiracy I tell ya! There must be an explanation!

My theroiez:

1-That was the only  store in all of Japan that was selling Kinect.

2-Microsoft paid all those people to stand there with the 500 million dollar budget.

3- Photoshopped - those people were actually in line  for PSP's God Eater.

OR .. all 3!!!!

LOL, yeah is this really Kinect? If it is .. then surely it'll get at least a 5k bump with crowds like this? Sure we'll find out soon enough.



 

I ordered mine from Amazon JP! I'm still waiting for it to arrive... :-/

Let's wait for the sales results and then we can talk again.

If it does indeed sells well, good for MS.

If it fails there, Xbox is dead in Japan.

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

Xbox has been dead there for years, it's a zombie!



 

Oh you can also see pictures from the Konami release of Dance Evolution for Kinect, (Dance Masters) at the Konamistyle store in Tokyo. They are also selling Kinect sensors/Kinect 360 bundles. Naoki Maeda was also there.
