Only likely because it's a lot more irrelvant there. They just don't care.

Yea so I was right 7 years to sell 10 million is a joke.

If microsoft don't sell Xbox One over there it wont matter.

As long as Japanese developers support Xbox One (capcom, squareenix, namco, konami, etc) I could care less if the console is in japan.

Just give me the games.

By that logic Microsoft should only bother with the USA as it is pretty much the only country on the planet where consoles are sold at a higher rate than joke status.

Wait... so that's why. Jega, this is amazing. You figured out why the Xbox One presentation was what it was.


7 years to sell 10 millions consoles, at least it didnt sell 1.6 million like some other console I wont name.

Yeah, I guess that would be a reason for less bitterness.

How will MS survive without the 1 million consoles sold in Japan.

Japan is very important.

You can tell by all the games Sony has aimed for that market. :-p

Wonderful. For people saying Japan is irrelevant your blowin smoke. Japan will be the reason why PS3 beats outsells the 360 in the end and the reason MS will never have the top spot. The amount of more consoles they would have to sell in other regions to make up for what they aren't selling in Japan is nearly impossible to do consistently and thats without the competition.

You mean the 1.7 million or whatever the 360 has sold in Japan? I kind of think that would be pretty easy to make up in the US or Europe.

IDK what some people are denying, but Japan looks pretty important to me. Might as well say the UK isn't important to the 360, Wii or PS3 as they failed to crack 10mil there
