Let's predict Xbox One OPENING JAPANESE SALES.

You need a pip for "What's an XBox?"

Over 9000

I'll go with 10.

One

Saaaaaaaaaaaltyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

25,000+

Sad thing is with MS dropping Kinect I see the Japanese market having LESS interest.

Edit. Sorry. I had put 250,000 by mistake.

its gonna be bad. all Japanese want to play is mobile sex sim anime games.

Better with Kinect, though.

Should add an option less than 50.000! lol

Xbox sells like shit in Japan, so I doubt open sales will be very high. Maybe around 100,000. Maybe.

If it sells over 100k i will be shocked

Not even the Pippin opened less than 50,000.

Thread is about opening sales, not legs.

True! But in the same time console games in Japan are totally different now a day also I don't think Xb1 has any type of games that cater the Japanese yet right?

Unless it is being bundled with a Senran Kagura Kinect Editionesque game, i cant see it opening with over 100k.

Could possibly hit the 800k lifetime mark if it gets lucky.

It's called an Xbox 1 for a reason. I vote 1

Less than 10,000

Bad. I think 50 k might even be optimistic

For OPENING sales? Not sure how people are getting <50k without looking at history. Pippin did not even up below 50k.

150 units

This is an invalid argument because the Pippin was being pushed as an alternate computer with programs gaming system when PC gaming was pretty much dead in japan 100% at the time of release, and they still out did 50,000 opening. But they sold a 10th of that later.

No body cares about consoles anymore. Hell the PS4 has struggled to sell over 5k a week. The Japanese care even less about a foreign made console which has nothing aimed at them. The XB1 is going to bomb hard there and I've argued for a long time it probably isn't even worth MS launching in Japan.

200k or around there. Im not confident with that number since console sales have been abysmal

34

The economy were way better at that time in Japan compare to now!

Aiming a little high there with those options.

The preorders for the xbone are surprisingly high. Im guessing the sales well be able expectations...And suddenly Japan will matter to lems.

Hell, you got devs like Square and Atlus who don't even bother porting games to the Xbox consoles anymore.

Looking at media create PS4 sales.... It could get ugly.

The PS4 did sell out at launch though?

EDIT: My guess 100K-200K

Shitastic

< 5,000.

I'm going to go with 50k although that's low according to history.

Depends on how the Titanfall hype hits them, right now that's the only game I see really appealing in that market. I'd say 75,000 and thats a reach lol

There will be 12 consoles sold...all to Americans vacationing in Japan.

actually, im thinking just about 9000 is what its probably gonna sell

42

7 million day one, the Xbone launches and Japan go crazy, people protest when stores start selling out. The Xbone becomes the official mascot of Japan...

Or 50,000 slowly dropping to the 100s as the years go by

But the PS4 managed to get 300,000 out on opening despite it selling 8x less than that every day since.

What you don't seem to understand is this thread is about OPENING sales. Basically the LAUNCH period. Xbox One is also entering with more games and more japanese appealing games than the PS4 is. Which will also SLIGHTLY help the launch.

I am not saying the Xbox One, just for example would say sell, 400,000 opening (although i think 300 is where it will be at) but may end up selling 200 every week afterward. Remember the 360? Around toward 300k but when Wii and PS3 where doing 20,000 or so a week afterward on average Xbox 360 was doing like 5,000. But that';s not what I am talking about, I am talking first impressions.

You're running out of excuses man. PC market was devasted and had become way expensive in comparison. Apple was not even a popular thing then over there, Bandai was already screwing up advertising, software sales were abysmal, and yet it still did more than 50,000 on the OPENING week.

lol is not excuse or what. Is what I believe lol

The 360 was the first gen 7 console out in Japan, and released to a market that was much more interested in consoles that it is today. And that's before taking the economy into consideration. Using its sales as a starting point is a mistake.

If it hits 50k consoles on launch week I think MS would be thrilled.

between 50 and 100k

G) Horrendous.

i am sure a few american gaijin will buy some when on leave from the base.

The 360 sold about 1.6 millions in japan and the PS3 about 10 millions iirc.

The PS4 sold to customers in the first week about 500k and thats 5% of the PS3 LTD.

Im expecting a lower percentage for the xbone, about 3 to 4% seems right so about 50 to 60k.

Let's not and say we did.

Sticking with this.

Unless it has games they want... it's not really going to sell well.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Xbox and Japan don't go together regarding sales.
