Lol. I wasn't really expecting the XBox One to make a splash in Japan, but yeah, it's a pretty sad sight :-/ .

Soooo now articles are surfacing suggesting that a number of the launch stores for the Xbox One have had the journalists present outnumber the people there to actually purchase the system. If this is the case... OUCH. O.o

Random source picked, but it's on some other sites too. I reeeeally need to go to bed, so someone else feel free to dig at the source for authenticity, etc, etc. *toddles off for sleeps*

wow this is so surprising... seriously not even sony or nintendo are doing good there and we should expect x1 not to flop. This was expected and the console won't even sell close to 360 probably



what did people expect?

Even if MS secure a few jrpg like it did for the 360, it still wont help them because their installbase didn't buy them.

that xbox yusuf medhi guy sucks and is a moron. what a total fool.

Im not surprised. they never liked the xbox brand. i dont know why ms bothered. i would have pulled the plug awhile ago on japan, its not that big of a market for consoles anyways.



 

Even if this was expected, it's still upsetting!
