I heard Jay said he was gonna tackle it, obviously if we don't get any solid info it will be entirely guesswork. It's being covered a lot by the wider media tho, so I'm sure for better or worse we'll get figures.

If it does around 100k, that's a huge success. I mean UK did 150k first week for comparison ...

DOWNVOTING XBOX ONE GAMES??? >_<

The problem for Xbox in Japan is not only that people aren't very interested in XBox but if there would release some games which could push hardware then people in most parts of Japan can't even buy an Xbox because it's probably nowhere to find then^^

I mean, which retailer does even have Xbox consoles a few months or even weeks after the console launch? Maybe a few in Akihabara but probably not in other parts of Tokyo or even other cities/villages lol.

Was never in Japan so that I have no idea but I can't see how retailers would all put Xbox consoles in their shelves just because of the release of a few games which could sell the consoles.

Ice dawg has become expendable. I'll handle him later!

And these days it looks like it needs to be a big name to push systems, and even that lasts only a week or two.

There is literally nothing MS can do for XB1 in Japan, it will sell less than original Xbox there. And it doesn't matter.

This game looks fantastic.  Really hope it comes to Vita/XBO/PS4.  Loved ICO and really want to see this be good as ICO and Shadow of the Colossus

I honestly don't get all the halo reach hate. I think it's better than halo 4 by a long shot(the mp). People hate on armour lock but I think it's way better than prometheun vision. If it had 1-50 I would have it tied with halo 2. I put 11 days into the arena(reaches ranked playlist) but it wasn't the same as 1-50. It has the best UI in the series. The commendations and credit system is nice as well. The armour is the best as well. Invasion is great too. If ur reason is armor abilities in general I understand but then u must dislike halo 4 just as much.
Sorry for the little rant, I've been playing reach lately.

For me its

Halo 2/3
Halo 4
Halo Reach
Halo 1

My favourite Halo's include in order:
Halo 2
Halo 1
Halo3
Halo Reach
Halo 4
Halo ODST

What's gonna drag Halo down in the coming years?
It's own community.
Players want Halo to never change from H2 gameplay, meanwhile, FPS game mechanic evolves to bigger and better.

At the same time, people who claim H4 is the worst in the series, never played Halo for it's story or never played it at all.
