so you can take your PS4 with you and play on the train? 

You can with a Wii U, unmodded and without any other peripherials for image output

 

@Topic: The big question for me is: Will the ONE ever reach total sales equaling the first week of the 360?

M$ should pull out of the region completely... and then buy up a struggling Japanese developer / publisher like Capcom or Konami just for the hell of it.  Would be hilarious.

None of those publishers are even close to struggling though.

Nobody would blame them if they completely dropped support for Japan at this point.


I wouldn't blame 'em for it. MS would be better off concentrating on europe. 



They waste their time in Japan. There's no reason to completely drop out of the country but there isn't any need to make games that appeal to a Japanese audience.

Where are all those Japanese games Phil promised?

They had to try.
Not sure why the OP is referencing the 360 as a comparison. At this point Xb one is looking like it will finish well behind Xb og (530K). Basically knock off the 20K Xb one sold at launch week and we're likely to see that level of sales annually for the life of the console (35K/ year). If Xb one sells in Japan for 10 years it will be lucky to crack 400K. More likely it will end short of 200K.

The 360 looks like a phenomenal success by comparison, and the Xb og looks good.

Thats pretty bad. The PS4 sold in 7 days what the Xbox One could not in 365 days. I swear I saw a prediction on this site claiming that the Xbox One might win Japan. Could it be that Microsoft is losing in Japan and Europe has a lot to do with them being behind in the US? This weeks ratio?

MGS5: 200:1 in favor of PS4
Consoles: 250:1 in favor of PS4

I predict that the Xbox One will cap out at 250k in Japan this gen.

They are on PS.




Do you guys really think the XBO will sell 250k in Japan? I mean, it did 55k in its launch year. I highly doubt it can nearly quintuple those sales in its lifetime.

Even if it maintained its baseline of ~150 units sold per week for the next 3 years, it would still be around 219k LT. I kind of think Microsoft may discontinue it by that point, especially since the baseline is bound to fall even more.

Such a flop. Its basically dead there. I wonder when they will discontinue it in japan


It's funny because when they do more Japanese gamers will complain than have actually bought the console. It's a good console, it has the games. Japan's complete stubbornness towards the Xbox brand is just ignorance at this point.


No, the xbox 1 deserves these sales in Japan from a Japanese perspective

- it has not any segnificant Japanese made exclusives

- xbox live is way more expensive in japan than PS+

- the console is too big 

- X is a synonyme for ''No'' in Japan. For them its called literraly the NoBox
