Thats like saying the PS4 outsold the XB1 in a country the XB1 isnt sold in.

The sad part is it actually is sold there and it's 2 predecessors did respectable numbers.

Thats my point. Its practically none existed in Japan. Everything would be outselling the X1 in Japan. Just like US cars dont sell well in Japan either. Thank god Japan is only a small market share.

As for the original Xbox and 360. They didnt sell well either in Japan and they turned out to be successful consoles. 

 

If i were MS ill just stop caring for the Japanese market all together and chase the bigger fish in the sea. Cant convince a culture to buy American products it just doesn't happen unless its iPhone. Im not even American and im saying this haha.

1 PS4-week VS 3 Xbox1 Years, that is insane !!!

And thats why, so many awesome JRPGs and japanese games for PS4 and not for xbox1.

The sad thing in this is how low X1 have sold

Did they even promote the console there? :S
They should have worked with Mistwalker on a new Blue Dragon game :/

I remember close to launch some promo and a video featuring all the games that were coming to it being praised for how good it was and how effective it'd be. Not by everyone, but by some people.

Some others rightly pointed out that those games wouldn't be do much for it.

It's sad but I doubt Microsoft can do anything to sell big numbers in Japan. Even Xbox360 which had some awesome JRPGs like Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey only sold ~1m lifetime.
