It's hard to predict how much it will sell but the XBOX One will completely fail in Japan. If Wii U and PS4 are underperforming, what makes anyone think that the XB1 will do good. It should just stay in the West

No one thinks that.

well expectations are very low so fail is relative. if it keeps pace with the ps4 i'd count that as a success. ps4 is failing but meeting that low bar would still be a success for xbox.

That's not a very bold prediction.

Water is also wet in case you were wondering.

Well, if it can match the 360, it will be quite succesful compared to its predecessor. So it depends on what you mean by fail.

I think that's pretty much accepted. Ps4 should pick up though.

I'm just amazed Microsoft is even releasing it in Japan. How many original xbox or 360 were sold in Japan?

The PS4 has been lacking in the Japanese games department while the PS3 and Vita have a bunch of them coming up this year. The PS4 isn't doing bad because people don't care for it, but it's doing poorly because it lacks games that cater to the Japanese audience. We've seen how poorly the 360 has done even when it had games that Japanese gamers like to play (e.g. Tales of Versperia, Lost Odyssey) and I expect nothing different from the X1. Possibly even worse.
