So uh, Japan GAF! Anyone biting? Any major advertising? Feels weird not to have a launch day thread so here we go!

Some pics I took at GEO. Of note are the blue boxes that say they will buy 2nd hand games.

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.

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.

That's the bundle they should have launched to sell the Kinect with here, eesh. Though is that the $10 Dance Central? Not that it really matters, they just needed to include a couple of good/great experiences with Kinect. Playroom is a good start on PS4 for example, but there's no meat to it unless you're going to stream (which is, oddly, an emergent use for it!)

Demo stations in bigger stores, shelves with games in smaller ones.
And yet no one cares. I haven't seen any advertising on TV, any billboards in train stations, nothing.

There is some advertising, but more for Destiny as far a I see. It has slightly less retail presence than ps4.

Seriously? HAHAHA. I was hunting down a fight stick today and went into numerous stores. Xbox one wasn't getting any action.
