While I believe there is a strong demand everywhere else and the Xbox One X will have a very good start. 
In Japan, I tend to believe it is because Microsoft only shipped like 20 Xbox One X for the whole island (and I would not blame them for it) :)

Where do they sell xbox's in Japan anyway? Is it online or is there actually a shop or two where you have to fight through the cobwebs to get to the xbox one display rack. I mean what shops can afford to invest in xbox one stock if the turnover of stock takes years not weeks. It will be interesting and possibly amusing to read the launch numbers anyway.

Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

Why do they even bother with Japan? They clearly are not fond of Xbox and never have been

I wonder how they felt about the duke. 

They never had it. Japan had a unique Xbox controller.

Well they do have a chance to have a good fresh marketing strategy over there. You know with the whole most powerful console ever shit. Plus it's very small and that just may bring in a few unexpected
