Can you elaborate? Source?

can't find it so I suppose i may have been mistaken

 

[Nightengale]

true, but this is from memory so I may be wrong

Well, considering that Xbox fans and Wii fans flipped the hell out of Bamco's attempt to build an audience on said platforms...

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Saw that on Twitter and came here. Incredible trolljob.

 

[Inuhanyou]

What we do know, is that it bit Namco Bandai in the ass to make that deal, and now Baba only cares about where the largest install base is. I can bet it'll be PS4 next before anywhere else. Unless phones get powerful enough to run Tales before PS4 picks up lol.

I expect that to be the face...PS4 being first and all

 

[Neuromancer]

Good fucking lord, that tweet...

Just went to the launch event! It was... completely dead. To my surprise, the cashier allowed me to choose a game of my choice, free of charge. I have no idea why, as there was no campaign or promotion going on that I could see.

All jokes aside, that's awesome! Good for you.

 

[The Lamp]

Just incredible.

Wait. What if he wants to troll us? Like "oh wow. Those are real People. They look so real. This must be reallife!". Yeah. This is it.

Well, I'd say the bigger issue is that all attempts to migrate Tales over to a bigger platform has kinda failed...

Wii/Graces failed. Hearts/DS failed. Those lousy port jobs sure ain't doing any favors for mobile/Vita

 

[ethomaz]

The joke pic that some user said it was repetitive, boring, immature, etc... JUST BECAME EPIC after this twitter.

I love you GAF.

Baba said they're preparing to move to 8th gen platforms and that their fanbase favors PS3/4.

 

[GutZ31]

Sorry Xbox friends, I still love you...

Original image for anyone wondering.

Balls of mutha-fkn steel! Haha...just wow.

 

[Hison Yohannas]

How many times do the Japanese sources keep hyping up Chaos child? Good lordy.

Well someone mention TF at least.

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

What is that chalkboard looking like.

 

[Devilgunman]

Will Xbone break 10k in the first week?

 

[GutZ31]

What is that chalkboard looking like.

Chalkboard you say...?

 

[Phlebas]

Chalkboard you say...?

How many more Tier 2 countries left to launch?

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

Chalkboard you say...?

So much Halo. Goddamn.

How many more Tier 2 countries left to launch?

Three down, 25 countries to go.

 

[A_Gorilla]

What is that chalkboard looking like.

At this point we're out of room.

Chalkboard you say...?

Pretty much everything on their except the Halo collection needs to be crossed out.

[JimJamJones]

Good job, Yusuf Mehdi......

I just came from a Fantasy Football draft where Lamar Miller went 1st overall, and it's now the 2nd most ridiculous thing I've seen tonight.

 

[Lumyst]

Godspeed, MS! Home console numbers for the new consoles in Japan have been very bad, so if users aren't migrating to the new consoles quickly enough, I hope the first parties can help alleviate the thrid parties' risk so that they will continue making console games.

 

[Hison Yohannas]

What are you talking about? Tier 2 HAS not even finished and the other games are not even out.

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

Chalkboard you say...?

Why Xbox One need to be save

 

[Son of Sam]

Why even bother launching there? the country doesn't even care about console gaming anymore and even less about the x1.

they should focus hard on china.

 

[RMS Gigantic]

My sides have ascended to a cruising altitude of 35,000 feet, and will be passing out in-flight drinks and snacks shortly!

China cares less about console gaming than Japan itself.

This better?

 

[Son of Sam]

China cares less about console gaming than Japan itself.

But it's new there and with an insane population. The opportunity for growth is staggering.

China cares less about console gaming than Japan itself.

You never know, China might actually buy the Xbox One.

"Japan launch of Microsoft Xbox One a damp squib"

Tokyo (AFP) - The Japanese launch of Microsoft's Xbox One fell flat on Thursday, with journalists covering the debut far outnumbering buyers.

Japan finally got the console more than nine months after it hit shelves in North America, Europe and Australasia and half a year after domestic heavyweight Sony unleashed its PlayStation 4 to grand acclaim.

But the usual enthusiastic crowds that greet big launches in Japan were absent on Thursday morning, with just one buyer at a major electronic retailer in Tokyo.

 

[Nightengale]

But it's new there and with an insane population. The opportunity for growth is staggering.

That's what was said about India. That's what Sony and Nintendo said when they entered China years back.

Opportunities are there,but it won't be big for consoles. PC and Mobile are even more dominant there than you imagine.

"Japan launch of Microsoft Xbox One a damp squib"

It's a tough place for consoles.

 

[Cess007]

"Japan launch of Microsoft Xbox One a damp squib"

Yeah... Journalist outnumbering customers? That doesn't sounds good at all :/ (for Xbox and consoles in general in Japan)

 

[IAmRandom31]

"Japan launch of Microsoft Xbox One a damp squib"

Good lord.

The 360 did Atleast OK at launch, this sounds like it may do 10k tops for a launch. Kind of embarassing

 

[Nightengale]

You never know, China might actually buy the Xbox One.

Might.

But I have no reason to make a bet on that assumption when they've never cared for consoles at all in the past 2 decades.

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

Btw,2chan thread about Xbox One(may NSFW)

They have. Their own. They only had a ban on foreign consoles.

Spoken like someone who's never lived in China.

Whatever ban you think is there does not exist like what most people think a ban works. There is zero enforcement.

Pirated games are sold openly in the most high end malls. Consoles are sold openly.
