Legitimately not worth the most basic text translation, QA and certification/publishing costs at some point. And that's incredibly sad. When niche groups bring stuff to the West an English localization is at least a product that far more consumers can play than going the opposite direction into the smaller market.No wonder WB said nah fuck it, ps4 only.
For ...one week, yes, probably, though 3DS and Vita are likely the two top spots overall. We're probably looking at Vita TV-level weekly sales once things are settled.Should beat the PS4 and Wii U. So th best selling home console.
whaaaaaat, The vita tv outsold it lol
That's pretty bloody good!
So weird
I can get in with other place.
But in GAF, I can't enter.
Forgive me.
So what are we expecting to hear from Microsoft's PR after this announcement? I think they've run out of marathons, sports and horse/cart metaphors to explain the situation they're in.
Then again, they always manage to surprise me.
What?That's pretty bloody good!
No worries.
I severely doubt we'll hear any PR from MS specific to the Japan launch
I can't wait to see European tier 2 numbers.
"Better than the NeoGeo Pocket!"
360 had a really good Japanese support at launch / around launch, and a lot of promises from Japanese developers. Dead or Alive 4, Capcom exclusives (Lost Planet, Dead Rising), Square Enix exclusives (Star Ocean IV, Infinite Undiscovery, The Last Remnant), Namco exclusives (Eternal Sonata, Tales of Vesperia, Ace Combat V, Ridge Racer VI, Katamari Damacy, Idolmaster), Sega exclusives (Chromehounds), and some Ms support such as Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey. In a time where all Sony exclusives were going multi (Resident Evil 5, Devil May Cry 4, Final Fantasy XIII).
Everything outsold it.
Worst launch ever...
Wow, Wii U actually sold quite a lot at launch!
I severely doubt we'll hear any PR from MS specific to the Japan launch
It's not bad, basically the same launch numbers as the original Xbox:
Xbox 123k
Xbox one23k
Very decent figures. But let's see if they can do what Sony couldn't and maintain that momentum.
Some research on "things that happen to 23k Japanese citizens every week" might be fun. For example, "more Japanese caught an STD at love hotels this week than people who bought a console at launch", or "more Japanese were victims of upskirting perverts than there were people who bought Microsoft's newest hardware". Or "more Japanese walk past the Microsoft store in [fill in the name of a major train station] in one hour than bought a new Xbox nationwide in the first week. ((Statistics are Tales From My Ass))Just who the bloody hell is calling this a good launch!?
I gotta bridge to sell ya mate.
Wait did someone call 23k decent? Lmao
Ps4 did like 300k launch week and went on to bomba.

I wonder what XB1 will stabilise at?
Wii U and PS4 seem to hover between 6k and 15k. 3DS and Vita seem to hover between 20k and 40k.
XB1 - 1k - 3k would be my guess.
Brilliant.It's not bad, basically the same launch numbers as the original Xbox:

I think it will drop below 1k per week before too long.

It's a start, this is a Marathon not a race.

That is much better than I expected which was like 1200 units. This is Xbox in Japan. Xbox has never been remotely popular in Japan.
Maybe they are people, dressed as cones? It's possible.
that launch line
