Support NeoGAF

[ieptbarakat]

Oh the memories.

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.

Everything we've seen seems to indicate Sony's still much friendlier than Xbox in terms of indie development. Would be really surprised if they managed to net more JP support, especially on the level of last gen, that was completely unprecedented and sad, considering it still went on to sell like butt in Japan.

 

[Nightengale]

I'll take a photo when I pick mine up tomorrow.

Remember to ask the cashier to make that face. :3

 

[danmaku]

sort of excited to see some good arcade shooters on the console.

the 360 is the undisputed king in this regard.

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

Obligatory:

Launch Theme Song GET!

 

[kiguel182]

It's also supposed to be launching in Portugal this month, I think. There's about as much excitement over here about it.

I read somewhere that Destiny pre-orders on the X1 are sold out in Fnac. It's weird.

EDIT: They are sold out. They probably don't have tons of units to sell but still, someone is buying it here.

 

[manipulate]

Oh the memories.

I remember this image.

 

[Foshy]

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

Dunno. My guess for it's sales trajectory is 30k - 10k - 8k - 5k - dead

Its sales will certainly be catastrophic and you might be right, but I want to give it some dignity at least lol

 

[Newline]

All aboard the hype cart

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Oh the memories.

Lol

 

[Bobnob]

I can't find the right thread but i just got another update ?? Downloaded septembers last week and i'm not on the preveiw program ??

 

[Solaire of Astora]

Dunno. My guess for it's sales trajectory is 30k - 10k - 8k - 5k - dead

I doubt the system will have any legs barring some exclusive that genuinely appeals to japanese gamers.

I think it will exceed most expectations in the first week, but it will probably die instantly afterwards.

 

[Canis lupus]

FW sales prediction: 60K
This year: 140K
Total: 600K

 

[ScriptedReality]

How could you say something so ridiculous? After all, your preorder was #2.



You are aware that that's a parody account, right?

Yes. I laughed at the disrespect. it's a slap in the face to Xbox.

 

[Tempy]

It'll probably stand a good chance to beat WiiU/PS4 next week. Surely it'll sell over 8k?

 

[Lady Siara]

I'd really like to see it not sell horribly as I'm interested in some of the Japanese exclusives

Spoiler

that aren't coming here.

 

[OnionPowder]

Yes. I laughed at the disrespect. it's a slap in the face to Xbox.

Does the bone deserve respect or something?

[HIR0]

I recall Nirolak or another mod saying it they are shipping 45K in another thread.

Famitsu review scores for xbone games:

Crimson Dragon (XBO) – 7/7/6/7 [27/40]
Dead Rising 3 (XBO) – 8/9/7/9 [33/40]
Forza Motorsport 5 (XBO) – 7/9/8/9 [33/40]
Kinect Sports Rivals (XBO) – 6/7/7/7 [28/40]
Max: The Curse of Brotherhood (XBO) – 7/8/8/7 [30/40]
Ryse: Son of Rome (XBO) – 8/7/7/7 [29/40]
Zumba Fitness: World Party (XBO) – 7/7/7/6 [27/40]

7 for Forza is pretty ridiculous. Also, I'm surprised DR3 scores aren't higher. The other games I understand.

 

[Percy]

The saviour console gaming deserves.

 

[Miles X]

Didn't Shinobi say 40k FW shipments? Or did I dream that?

360 did 60k.

 

[crinale]

IMHO it may have a little chance to top all consoles (I'm not joking).
Then, of course it will drop like a rock after 2nd week.

Umm. What line?

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

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.

But you were preorder #2!

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

It shouldn't be that hard. It's just launch.The following week... is a different story.

 

[salromano]

According to Inside Games' report, there aren't any lines at Shinjuku Yodobashi, Akihabara Yodobashi, or Akihabara Sofmap.

[oti]

Umm. What line?

 

[Cheesecakebobby]

I saw some huge lines in Tokyo today.

For the bus. I had no idea the Xbox One was launching this week

 

[Barack Lesnar]

I doubt it sells over 10k the first week. Probably like 6-7k for the week.

 

[SerTapTap]

Spoiler

If it sells horribly wouldn't those developers just go to Playstation? Besides, xbox is FINALLY region free, so importing won't be a clusterfuck like it is on 360 anyway. And digital importing is allegedly super easy too though I can't speak to that. I guess small JP devs would be more likely to be digital only this gen than last?

 

[Elios83]

That is pretty much a given unless an unprecedented disaster occurs
But I'm expecting a 30k debut week, so 3DS will stay on top and maybe even Vita might do better.

I'm sure all the media shit is borked for the Japanese as it was for every country outside of 'murica at launch.

What about them heat waves?

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

wow

usually theres at least 10-20 people around

 

[Codeblue]

I love that this has become symbolic of Xbox in Japan. The look on the clerks face will always be funny to me.

 

[watership]

Japan is a lost cause for MS... nothing to see here

It's important they still try. Each console should be available worldwide, with region specific games, stores and support. And if some MS money gets injected into studios over there, so much the better.

 

[reminder]

Edit: oh, already posted >_<

 

[Foshy]

I guess what might also hurt it is that some hardcore Xbox fans probably already imported one from the US.

 

[TheTux]

Can they have a profit with such small sales considering their costs?

 

[andymcc]

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

is Cave bankrupt yet?

how desperate are they for money?

 

[ScriptedReality]

Idk why you guys are taking this seriously lol. It's like "Oooooh the disrespect! You got burned!!! Shots fired! " See what I mean? It's kinda obvious you guys don't joke like me and my friends.

 

[Guymelef]

Don't worry, the'll be fine with 5pb on board.

 

[Solaire of Astora]

Is that really the line? Good job there's only one person. That area will be mobbed in the morning by commuters exiting the hanzomon/denentoshi lines (my line, btw).

 

[SerTapTap]

They even stopped releasing mobile ports so...probably pretty dead.
