Man if Xbone could get multiplatform release of Dragon Quest Heroes, oh well..
multiplats not on wiiu may as well be considered ps4 exclusive in japan. Who would buy an xbox when ps4 will get all the Japanese games.

Video: "My Day at the Xbox One Japan Launch"
http://www.gamerevolution.com/news/video-japanese-xbox-one-japan-launch-28115
Day 1 doesn't mean everything, and systems can bounce back from bad numbers but...this is sad. It's tucked back into the corner of one place, not given any sort of special display in others, not even stocked in others.
The Media Create thread next week is gonna be interesting.
What does this even mean?
Don't you mean, "a damp squid?"
Don't expect anyone to get that reference.
Then people would still just buy it on PS3 or PS4?
What does this even mean?
Yahoo. Sigh.
MS isn't even trying this time.
Xbox and especially Xbox 360 really put forth a respectable effort in Japan. I honestly thought they deserved to succeed. Xbox had some awesome Japanese exclusives like Panzer Dragoon, Jet Set Radio, Otogi, DoA 3, etc. 360 had a ton of exclusives/times exclusives like Chromehounds, Eternal Sonata, Tales of Vesperia, The Last Remnant, Full Auto, Dead Rising, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Beautiful Katamari, Star Ocean 4 etc.
Can't blame MS for not trying this time. Japanese gamers have proven that they don't give a shit about Xbox regardless how many quality Japanese exclusives it has.

Wow. They really did try with the 360. What happened? Is the whole "Lel Western companies" thing really that entrenched in the Japanese buyer's mind?They did invest with the 360. Two exclusives from Sakaguchi, a timed exclusive of the best Tales games, Idolmaster, shmups, visual novels, Earth Defense Force, several Capcom exclusives. And that didn't even get them a foothold.
It's not. At all.
Yahoo. Sigh.
Yahoo. Sigh.
Maybe you should hire some Japanese employees and make some Japanese games then? It's like they're bizarro Nintendo. "Man, why can't we crack into this market that we refuse to invest in?"
Japanese people obviously haven't seen Titanfall.
Yeah, the biggest search engine in Japan knows nothing about Japan. So blasé, right?
Yahoo. Sigh.
I'm sorry doesn't Yahoo use BING now for the last few years?
LOADED WITH GRAPHICS
I'm sorry, does that NOT make it the biggest search engine in Japan?
Oh, no? Hmmm, well then.

They have a japanese studio. They had a ton of a exclusives. It's just pissing money away at the point mate. Heck, the console market in Japan in general is twindling. They are just launching here out of obligation, not because they expect anything of it.

I asked you a question smartass.
Turns out, the tweet from fake Kaz Hirai was true.
"We have high expectations as this (machine) is loaded with graphics that will surely satisfy game players," he said.
Interesting. And noisy. Don't know whether it's faulty gain settings on the mic or what, but I suspect I'd need earplugs to go shopping there.
Story of the fucking forever. Microsoft is doing relatively not-bad, but since they aren't doing as well as their internal over-inflated estimates, they decide to pull out. Then, when they try again, they wonder why nobody would give them the time of day.but then MS just gave up all of the sudden
The 360 also sold 3x as much as the Xbox in Japan, and MS didn't actually develop any of those games internally. They also STOPPED publishing and moneyhatting Japanese exclusives after about 2008. What do they have lined up for the Xbox One? What games are in development by their Japanese studio(s)?
For what its worth, Yahoo isn't really a respectable news-outlet.

This man understands the market. If Japan has shown any consistency at all, it's a rabid, unquenchable desire for machines loaded with graphics.
with journalists covering the debut far outnumbering buyers.
with just one buyer at a major electronic retailer in Tokyo

Japan has mobile games and 3DS. No console needed.
Everyone knew this thing would bomb in Japan, right?
I can't believe that this news is blowing anyone's mind.
