Because that would put the responsibity on Microsoft to sell the product instead of the gamers to accept whatever they are handed. 

why should i not blame both? its never just the fault of one side?

thats what i said. just dont sell it in that case.

and this figures are not about games. the games are decent for a western console. they are decent like the ps4 launch setup.

but this time the xbox one sold half than x360.

home console gaming in declining

xbox brand as weak as it never was in japan

i dont see any benefit for them.

its just 1 point "they cant abdone the second/third biggest console gaming market"

i would do it

I said 20-3-K so it's right in my range, unless Kinect+TF makes it 36K, which is a very good launch, being more than half of 360's launch.

That's gotta be a joke. If you had said India, I would have agreed, but not Nigeria or Pakistan, no way.

Wrong, X360 sold better because it had big games coming. But they gave up pretty quickly, and japanese remember that.

X1 has nothing for a japanese. And as an américan outsider and after the bad 360 support , they had a lot to prove

Means nothing, 360 opened half as well as the original and sold 3x as much lifetime.

Less abysmal than I expected. 23k is not that bad considering the shipping of 40k consoles.

Its Microsoft's fault for not providing the content.  The point is that if you are going to bother in a region where your brand isn't doing well, the responsibility is on you to get the support for your product.  Its not a two sided argument.   It was a poor plan, they had only 5 exclusives that didn't appeal to the audience; it was sloppy and half assed and the results (worst console launch in recorded history) is the proper conclusion.   You are right, they shouldn't have bothered, but not because of the Japanese.  Because they shouldn't have bothered if they didn't care enough to provide content.     No one should "give a shit" about Microsoft if they don't provide what you want.  Thats insane.  Companies - Sony included - should have to work for sales.  

Yes, because it had big games, whereas the One, with no big japanese exclusive will at the best reach 300k lifetime.

Let's see if they can money hat a big japanese game, but they dont seem to care about Japan so...

u sure?

xb1 had the best launch in xbox history but is in big trouble right now.

and will proably never ever sell nearly the same like 360

imho that logic doenst apply this time

i dont see xb1 reach 1m lifetime sales in japan

not without a killer exclusive game like shenmue 3

period
