(December 2014 when the Metal Slime DQ PS4 was released)

What was in december 2014 the sales figures ? i cant remember.

what do you think, guys - next week, how many PS4's in Japan sold ? in the second Persona 5-week ? I think: 35-38.000

PS4 sold 68k in 1 week. Xbox One lifetime sales were at 41k(sold 700 that week).

Forgive me for linking gaf, but they have the LTD when I need it quickly. lol

Mattrick's predecessor. He's the reason Tales of Vesperia was an Xbox 360 exclusive and sold more than two hundred units (and probably two hundred consoles) in Japan. 

He's also the reason Lost Odyssey was a thing, FF went multi and we had BB without Akshit... 

Sounds like he did a lot of good for Xbox.  Do you think he left because he knew they were going to stop investing in Japan? 

No, you have it backwards. They stopped investing in Japan because he left.

FF Multiplataform is a thing, now the series is multiplataform. Sad move for Microsoft, they chose an ex-EA's Ceo(Mattrick) to run the Xbox's division.

Apparently they didn't get the memo that at the time everyone was hating on EA for a series of stupid moves that ruined most games (there's a reason went to shit during the mid 2000's). 

Apparently, hiring Sakaguchi and Mistwalker to lead the division, especially since Sakaguchi was and currently remains resentful of Sony, didn't pass through their heads, not to mention Balmer was still in charge...

What the... XBone japan total is 68k?

i only know its selling poor in japan but 68k total in 3 years is really much worst than i thought...

yes, its really interesting. ONE WEEK(PS4) versus 3 years(Xbox) and the one week wins.

Don't act like this is good news. A winner has power someone must keep under constant surveillance. Hopefully at least in Japan Nintendo can remind Sony they don't have a monopoly.

Since we are on Vgchartz and we like to compare console sales,  comparisons,  milestones etc I decided to make this a thread.  

 

Here is something you don't see a lot.  Ps4 this week sold 96k in Japan.  To date the lifetime sales of XB1 are 68k. It has managed to easily outsell it's LTD.  

 

Not many would have predicted this happening before the gen started at least not this well into it.  The XB and XB360 sold sufficiently that this wasn't possible after a certain period into last gen and the one before. 

 

But here we are.  Yet another milestone for the ps4. Next up,  passing the Wii U in Japan. 

Not surprised, and this will happen so many other times :)

Obviously it becomes harder in future but it will be interesting to see when it happens again.

Twice(Metal Slime PS4 week and Slim + Persona 5 week). A few times where it was either less than 5k behind, 1-2k behind(FF Type-0 week), or just on par meaning  a few hundred units behind(MGS V)

Well it probably did it a few times early on but since xbox built up a bigger total it became rare.

It must be hard for XB1 owners in Japan to find enough local online players lol

I may be wrong but i believe that Japanese Xbox owners are mostly collectors that probably have a PS4 too or americans living in japan.Either way i don't think they would play multiplayer on Xbox one.(specially with most XO games coming to PC anyway)

Even if they were few, they play on US servers...

But  isn't there any lag ? Japan is in the other side of the world.
