According to vgchartz numbers, Xbox has sold 1.38 million games in Japan and the Xbox 360 has sold 12.59 million. That's an 812% increase. So it's might have a bit more potential than some people believe here.

Wrong. Xbox sold 530k in Japan and X360 sold 1.66m in Japan.

And I agree with Kowenicki

Not dead yet, but if mobile gaming keeps growing at the rate that it is I doubt it's got more than a generation or two before it is.

So long the consoles will get great JRPG's there will a market for them. No matter how much mobile gaming will grow. But hey, that's just a guess.

Once you entered you won't be the same anymore. A blog about life.

I don't really care if the Xbox One fails there, at least it's motivating MS to get some Japanese games.

Sources please, I would just like to see data on the software matter.

EDIT: I think he was talking about software not hardware.

The numbers I stated are games, not consoles. So not wrong.
