Forums - Sales - Xbox One Reaches a New Low in Japan

 

 

Just when you think Microsoft could do no worse in Japan, the console proves that, yes, it can do even worse. Much worse.

After a dismal Japan launch and then horrible sales, the latest weekly Xbox One sales for Japan are, simply put, awful. During the week of June 8 to June 14, Microsoft sold a hundred Xbox One consoles in Japan. That’s right, one hundred.

Here’s how the sales hardware sales chart shapes up for that week:

This data is from Media Create, which tracks game software and hardware sales in Japan.

Yes, yes, I know that any of the home consoles aren’t exactly tearing up the sales charts, but compare the Xbox One numbers to the other consoles. Then, think about selling a hundred Xbox Ones in a week in a country of over 120 million people? Ouch.

You know, now might be a good time to seriously reconsider even selling the console in Japan.

Why would they quit selling the console just because it sells bad? Treat the Japanese market as any other of the smaller markets and they will be fine.



I think 100 is the minimum rounded number... mostly a place holder lol

Xbone didn't reach 100.



At least we got Japan's numbers for June 8 to June 14 since VGChartz seems to be delayed lol.

They have an entire company there for the Japanese market. I can't imagine there are many countries where Xbox One sells  only 100 in a week.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'

100%.

That's great performance.



Between Nintendo dicking around and MS doing shitty as always Sony practically has a monopoly on games in Japan.



Vita TV is outselling it 5:1! Hilarious. I don't know why the hell they haven't given up on Japan already.

You sure? I could swear I saw some 2 digit numbers when they were still tracking the 360.
