Forums - Gaming - Xbox One is the savior and will break the curse in Japan

What was the first week sales of the X360 in Japan? It can't be that hard to beat it, right?

Wow... now Im predicting a lower opening of 800k first weekend, but it will struggle to reach 15, maybe 16 million LT in Japan. Not bad numbers, especially in the dead console market



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

PS4 doom confirmed?



ColdFire - The man with no name.

There is a little base of xbox players in japan... 2 millions of players more or less. They must be excited with the release of a new Xbox the first days of reserves, but it´ll fall down in the list slowly believes me. Forza and Dead Rising aren´t japanese like games and will flop in sales. 50k first week would be a very good opening for X1 with those games.

The only way to success for X1 in Japan is a REALLY BIG jrpg exclusive announcement. That´s the only truth



don't forget there are still many foreigners working in japan, and i believe many of them are XB fans so it will still have a launching hype for these people, after that will depend on how M$ get whatever up coming exclusives they have to attract japanese gamers...

Well this was unexpected...



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

If the 360, with a better japanese support and with the market in better shape couldn't succeed in Japan, the Xbone will have it near impossible.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Interesting. Given that the PS4 sells like crap in Japan, the XBO might (that is a very ginormous might, mind you!) actually outsell it. I doubt it though.

They would probably buy a Playstation instead of xbox one just like it happen in USA
