Picking my preorder up tomorrow after class.I've been waiting so long for this to finally come out. Between this and Smash Bros next week, I'm not going to be getting much work done.
We found the One!

Well it shouldnt have considering that its released tomorrow not today. Tomorrow as in the 4th of September.
IS the range still an issue on XB1? I thought the camera tech in Kinect 2 sorted that out?

Have you seen any advertising or anything? Commercials, signs, billboards? It doesn't sound like they did anything :lol. The 360 got some advertisement (I think).Picking my preorder up tomorrow after class.
As far as I know, yup. I actually preordered at a fairly popular store in Shinjuku too.

It means Microsoft didn't bother paying Famitsu for better scores.
Thread title is misleading. In that case I seen the prep. A small shelf of Xbox one stuff.

Famitsu is the IGN of reviews.
Anything below 35 is average. Anything below 30 is terrible.

You'd think he'd have at least seen a poster in store. The only place I've seen any advertising was in the games section in shibuya tsutaya.
When?

It's currently ranked #8 on Amazon for the Kinect bundle and #20 for the Titanfall bundle. That's the best rank the console has ever been, except when it became available for preorder (then it was number one during two days if I remember well).
The only games having a chance to figure in the top 10 next week seems to be Dead Rising 3 and Forza Motorsport 5, and maybe Titanfall since the bundle are counted.
Hard to make a bet, but I'm not sure it will do better than 100K for the launch week. It would even be a miracle since Xbox 360 dit 60K for the first two days.

Absolutely no advertising at all, aside from some flyers in game stores and some demo units in Yodobashi Camera.
Honest to god, I think I'm the only one in this country excited about this thing.

Vita is 2nd in Japan at the moment.

Quite bad for Famitsu. I figured they'd like Dead Rising at least? Maybe it got too Americanized.
Crazy. I think this launch is a $ loss for MS. They're just launching in Japan so they can say they're in Japan. Probably the same story in some of those smaller Euro countries as well.

How could you say something so ridiculous? After all, your preorder was #2.
You are aware that that's a parody account, right?
I was just at Osaka electronic superstore a month ago, the X1 display and promo vid there looked like it was targeted at Americans. It was like a slice of America.

I don't see why that would continue to be the case though. Didn't they flock to 360 because Sony was a dick to Cave and refused their games or something? Wont' happen this gen plus PS4 is selling so much stronger, shmups seem like they'll be right at home on PS4. Especially with Resogun and Velocity 2X on it.
Japan loves handhelds. It would be pretty surprising if it weren't #2 really, considering the lack of JP PS4 games.

#1 is obviously Japan's head of Xbox.
That purchase isn't out of excitement, it's out of duty and honour, because if he didn't have one , he brings shame to his family.
considering the Vita sells around 16-20k weekly in Japan, I think the XB1 will outsell it in its first week, but fall behind on the second one. By the 4th week, it should be at PS4 level (5-6k) and then sink even further.

It's also supposed to be launching in Portugal this month, I think. There's about as much excitement over here about it.
MS will probably push the ID@Xbox thing for more Japanese developers. I know they have a few already but it will be interesting to see if anyone else jump onboard.
You mean photoshopped or a picture of the japanse shops today, would look the same anyway.

4th week? I'd say it'll hit the current PS4 baseline in the 2nd week.

Sad thing is they don't even have baseball. Well if you want to count RBI.
I'll take a photo when I pick mine up tomorrow.
