Vita and PS4 also had an amazing start in Japan. Look where they're at now.
Good for the Xbone but I don't think they'll do much better than the 360.


Vita will do good numbers in Japan, its already has a close to 3 million installbase. The PS4 will pick up to, when the Japanese developed software will start to roll in. But all in all, the Japanese hardware market seems to decline for every manufacturer this generation


thats not good numbers, vita as well as wiiu/ps4 is on track in cumulative sales to be the top worst in the industry :-/

I'm sad because we can't make anymore doom threads about the X1 anymore.

I lol'd.


Forza really isn't that popular in Japan.  But that being said the Japanese make some of the best liveries (paint jobs) in Forza games.

As long as Forza 5 and Horizon 2 sell good and we will get some more top notch custom liveries I will be happy. Hope D4 does decent in Japan also but that is next year.

Compared to last gen, no. Compared to this gen.. well it will do over 6 million there, and it will have a decent software ecoszstem, so thats good. It will be the szstem with the second biggest installbase behind the 3DS. Just that the avrege numbers dropped all around for everzthing.

2nd doesn't mean much and i think it'll do about 8-9mil lifetime, its that The last handhelds have all done over 16mil so its a huge decline overall!

The thing is, all the people in japan that want an xbone will buy it day 1,
then it will be down to around 2k a week.

With Wii U selling only in the low teens so soon after MK8 launch, and PS4 stuck below 10K for the foreseeable future it should not be at all surprising that Xb one is topping best seller charts. It should sell between 50 and 100K launch week, which quite probably means selling 10xWii and >10x PS4 for that week.

Doesn't mean typical sales week won't be 0.2xPS4 a few weeks after launch.
