Information from xbox Russia:
"Since the 15th of july, more than 15000 people used their chanceto preorder xbox one to become the first russian owners of this console."

I should also mention that this number doesn't include people who bought xone without a preorder (there definitely some were people who did this). The other fact is that many xbox fans bought console before the official launch (amazon, ebay, russian unofficial retailers).


Link? 0_O 15k for Russia

 

Queue for XB1 in Russia

 

I used google but found no information in english about this. You can look through the other  photos here http://gamemag.ru/news/-rossii-nachalis-prodagi-xbox-one-99983 

Awesome, thank you.

15k preorders for Russia is pretty good. I've heard that Russian console gamers primarily chose the 360 last gen. so I kind of figured that Russia would be a decent market for Xbox One despite the delay and PS4's success.

You have the right info, but 360 was popular mostly because of piracy. However,  now the level of it is decreasing. 
Speaking honestly, the russian part of internet was full of anti-xbox hate and lie ( for instance, some people really believe that xone is always online and doesn"t work with used games) since the may of 2013, and, taking this fact into considerations, this numbers were suprisingly big for me.

Yeah, looking into it 15k for XB1 launch (or more) isn't too surprising. PS1 and PS2 did 2m. Not sure on Xbox 360.

Should give it a nice boost next week tho along with Hong Kong and the other 6 countries. I mean even if they're all 3k each, that's 21k + Russia's 15k+.

Could XB1 stay above 150k?

It would certainly be more than 3k in each of those countries.

I just realised it was yesterday it launched, so with Fifa in Europe it will definitely be above 150k ...

I wonde rif last week will go below 100k. All it had was a launch in Israel. (And Destiny residue)

You guys apparently care too much about weekly sales. In reality falling below 100k for one week is insignificant, especially since the following months will be the time when XB1 will truely come into its own, starting with the launch of Forza Horizon 2.

I'm tracking weekly sales atm cos I have a thread on how XB1 sells in September and I bet 500k+.

Possibly though you should send him the link through PM.  He responded to me once i sent him the  36k pre-orders for China

That's not too far-fetched then, the launches on September 23 and the Chinese launch will easily propel it far beyond 500k. I would guess something like 600k.

Yeha, VGC shows 295k after 2 weeks. Last week (100k~) and Russia + Other Tier 2 launches and Fifa bundles in Europe should ensure 150k - 200k.

Then Forza Horizon and China launch week after. 100k + China (100k?)

Outside chance of 750k+
