Forums - Microsoft Discussion - As Xbox One Launches in Japan, Akihabara Gamers Really Aren’t Standing in Line

ice on 04 September 2014

console gaming is dying over there anyways, not really sure what people expected. Plus MS has no exclusive JRPGs, it's going to be pretty bad.

Some posters in this thread are embarrassing.
At the very least, MS tried. And I hope they continue to try. All these internet armchair ceos saying they should screw Japan clearly don't understand how important that market is.

They could have tried at least...But not, they prefered to use money on useless timed exclusives instead of big japanese games. So they didnt deserve more, they had to prove their console has a futur for japanese and not just launch it and let them guess the futur of an american console there.

I bet 15k FW

500k LFT since there are no big japanese games like 360 had



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

But the timestamps on all those photos are before 5:30AM. Even the most committed xbox fan in Japan knows it's not necessary to line up so early to buy an Xbox on launch day in Japan. Japan isn't even going to be Xbox's biggest tier 2 market.


This and why are we expecting to see lines for somthing going to sell 20-40k?

Also I just checked he didn't even retweet it. All he did was reply sarcastically because the picture was sent to him.
