Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Japan's Love for Xbox Series? (New Poll)

 

Will the Xbox Series consoles even sell half of the Xbox 360 lifetime sales(808,064)?

Yes, but it will be very close 1 10.00%
 
Yes, it will even break a million 3 30.00%
 
No, but it will be very close 2 20.00%
 
No, it won't even reach 700,000 4 40.00%
 
Total:10

I originally thought that the Series consoles had only out sold the PS5 twice before and that this week would be the 3rd time, but I was wrong, it's the 5th time now this has occurred.

Around the Network

Famitsu's Dec 11th-Dec 17th week has the Xbox Series Consoles at 538,948 for it's lifetime sales.  This figure puts it past a 1/3 of the Xbox 360's lifetime sales of 538,710, a nice milestone, but it could be too little too late.

The halfway point is 808,064.  Can it even reach that at this point?  

A new poll has been added.

2022 was great for Xbox in Japan, the best sales for an Xbox since 2009. But it's collapsed this year. Going to be around a 45% drop YoY in Japan. If the next Xbox doesn't come till 2028 there's still a chance it can leg it out to 808k. But it's not looking good and if the rumours of the next Xbox now being rushed out earlier than originally planned is the case then it has no chance.

If next year the drop can be managed to only 30% instead of the 45% of this year then maybe it can make it. But these numbers (2024 onwards) are of course just being pulled out of my ass.

2020 - 31k (31k)
2021 - 97k (129k)
2022 - 269k (398k)
2023 - ~147k (545k)
2024 - 103k (648k)
2025 - 74k (722k)
2026 - 49k (771k)
2027 - 30k (801k)
2028 - 12k (813k)

I'm not really sure what to expect in terms of the drop next year so maybe hoping it will go from 45% drop this year to 30% drop next year is far too optimistic.

Edit: I just did another look and while the year as a whole is likely to be 45% down if we look at the second half of the year separately the drop is catastrophic.

Week 1-26 =  40.5% drop YoY   (2022:119.3k  2023:71.3k)
Week 27-50 = 64.4% drop YoY  (2022:148.4k  2023:67.7k)

With that recent form of 65% drop I think everything I have written above may be a pipedream.

I'm not sure what this is.  I looked it up and found a 360 game called Dream C and looked up marketing campaigns and commercials and still can't find this.  What am i missing?
