If I had a penny for every Xbox One sold in Japan I could buy an Xbox.

I'm pretty sure it is because almost every console comes with it.

Launch week sales:  XOne - 23.562,  Titanfall - 22.416

Yeah, that's why Knack sold over 1 million. Still my post wasn't that serious.

It's a shame. Last gen MS delivered the best RPG Lost Odyssey and no one gave a squat. There was no hope this time round. A strange market indeed.


Japan isn't a strange market at all. They basically want the same stuff they've been playing since the 90s. More JRPGs, more RE, more MGS, etc.

Its just not a worthwhile market and MS didn't make any effort to succeed there. Quite frankly, it was the right choice. Trying to appeal to Japan is a waste of resources.

Even Sony doesn't bother making games for the Japanese market. They let 3rd parties handle that.

The Xbox situation on Japan is very complex, what would you do?

- Leave Japan?
- Keep Trying?

The JRPGs money hats of last gen didnt work, so i doubt that Microsoft will be writing checks anytime soon tho.They

They have to stay.  Xbox One may be a failure in Japan, but leaving Japan is a PR defeat that they cannot overcome.  Especially because it happens to be Sony's home country. 

I don't think that's really a concern. More importantly, is MS losing a significant amount or any money having their product available in Japan?

I'm guessing the answer is no. If anything its probably publishers that will eventually stop supporting Xbox in Japan.

I mean look at Vita. Sony makes it available in the west, but not many publishers care to support it.

Those dismal numbers are probably one of the reasons Forza 6 didn't have any Japanese tracks still hoping one of the four Japanese tracks shows up as DLC eventually.

I'm guessing the answer is no.

I'd guess MS has lost about $100 AT LEAST for every unit sold at this point. There is a point when you start to profit with whatever you produce, and MS is so far away from that sales number that they probably just try to keep losses at hand.
