This week has actually been on the chilly side, thankfully.

its really sad because the xbox one is really a one fine system. whatever the OS, the games it offers.

I do not regret purchasing mine at all. loving everything about it and honestly I play it more than my ps4.

each person has a different taste I guess.
 
You guys not serious thinking it'll sell 30-40k the first week? I'd be stunned if it sold over 10k. Nobody knows about it according to JPN-gaf.

I don't think we'll see much support from small Japanese devs, unless MS pushes for it like it did in the past.

I would never have guessed we'd see them do what they did for the Xbox or for the Xbox 360.

I'm not saying I'm expecting it, but it wouldn't surprise me to see a small bunch of notable smaller Japanese-developed exclusives over the console's life. We've already heard some one-sided STG announcements.

Geez, bunch a punks in this thread lolz. PS4 is bombing in Japan anyways but I expect X1 to beat it first month, after that who knows.

Xbox, nobody uses 'X-box'

Some people say "XBOX", people are all over the place with that brand. "X1" also grates my nerves.

Thought I was on GameFAQs for a second BTW

First week? Sure. Second week? Maybe. After that? Drop off is probably going to be even sharper than PS4. PS4 had a cross-gen Yakuza at least.

What are the chances that by the end of the week there will be more Microsoft consoles in Japanese homes that say "I MADE THIS" on the front than consoles that don't?

I can already see the upcoming PR from Microsoft "Fuck, who's idea was it to release a console that is bigger than people's houses...again?"

30-40k for launch on itself is already utterly dreadful.

A 10k launch? Xbox might as well give itself away for free.

Home consoles are dead in Japan. Microsoft would be stupid to invest any Money in the Japan market. Just Launch it there at the lowest cost possible. that's the best and only Thing they can do in Japan. Everything else is just wasted Money.

Just launched in Scandinavia as well, haven't heard a fuck about it. One guy in my feed imported it from Germany a couple of months ago but that's about it.

Looks like they are doing a soft launch. They don't seem to have any expectations.

That's the best strategy they can have with this console in Japan.

Actually, the best one would be NOT launching the console in Japan at all... oh, well...

I have mine pre-ordered. Although I almost certainly didn't have to actually pre-order it. With point cards here it is nice getting a 10% effective cash back from the purchase.

Pretty funny seeing a twitter thread I posted in on gaf too.

This thing isn't going to move much, especially with the PS4 and Wii U struggling.


Are there any other Japanese exclusives other than Scalebound announced for the Xbox One?
