if Japan doesnt give a shit about xbox, why does ms give a shit about Japan?


they should release in Nigeria or Pakistan instead and get better sales...

Ignoring Japan completely would be even more foolhardy. Then you can expect a lot of Japanese game developers to ignore developing games for Xbox One all together because many of them prioritize the Japanese market (in some cases EVEN if their sales are higher in the westy, for some reason.)

yes. as i said

u cant abdone the second / third biggest gaming market with many huge developers.

tahts the reason, why they launched.

not so see decent sales.

Im pretty sure more than half of those sales are from Americans who live in Japan. I have no way to prove this, but I just have the feeling.
The rest of the consoles were giveaways by MS



Nintendo and PC gamer

This will prove to be a nice boost for the Xbox One. I'm sure it's going to be ahead of the Wii U now.

Expected baseline? My guess is 800 given this launch and support in coming months the there.



Japan, why u do dis?

Great job, MS. I expected the Japanese to only buy 38 of the consoles.

That's actually alright


If you think that's alright you probably don't know anything about console sales.

 

Selling 23k in 4 days, double as much as PS4 and Wii U, is horrible. Even the Bandai Swancrystal sold more, and you never heard of the Swancrystal.
