Not even Japan do they buy there games lol. Those numbers are piss poor. Japan moved on from consoles long ago since last gen. None of those games cant even reach 200,000 copies in there home country LOL. Japan is a dead market for a decade now and this just shows even more how little they sell in games. No wonder japan gets the new consoles last when they release lol.

I remember when it was the other way around 20 years ago. How times have changed.

Oh lord, this one is a lost cause methinks.

Yeah, Xbox sells like crap in Japan, we all know this already. No need to use the bold title text.

Now the Vita topping every other system, that is astonishing !

Yeah but I have a feeling that the next Xbox is going to be the most powerful console next gen. MS isn't going to make the same mistake twice.

Power is not the only or main reason the PS4 is winning. Unless Sony really messes up the PS5 launch don't expect Xbox to suddenly starting dominating the US again.

Plus how can Microsoft guarantee they have the most powerful console unless they know exactly what Sony is doing? The only way to do that is become a loss leader again and they don't seem to be interested in losing money on Xbox any more.

The Xbox One had less power because a lot of resources had to go to Kinect. Now I don't think the next Xbox is going to have a motion controller.

lol most people who call themselves gamers care! lol sorry you didn't get the memo but the xbox shooter bro brand of limited selection gamer is in short supply this gen.

Scream weaboo all you want but Japan has a huge selection of game types and produces a ton of quality games with a dedicated fan following spread across more franchises than likely any other region.

For this reason anyone coming here trying to dismiss japan comes off as salty and ignorant.

let's see how those weaboo taunts hold up when SFV hits the market and xbox one is sitting on nothing but crickets and Rise of The Tomb Raider

It's less powerful because it was an "All-in-one-entertainment-system" and never strictly a 'games console', it has cable box capabilities for god sake lol. Kinect was only part of the problem.

PS Vita is a pretty good handheld in Japan, because it has all the games that they aren't localising to us filthy Westerners.
