Let's predict Xbox One OPENING JAPANESE SALES.

360 has sold 1.6m in 9 years in Japan. Based on that, I'd go with less than 50k on release.

PS4 did 300k but is doing 6k per week in Japan now?

I guess maybe 150k for xbone, but people should be prepared for really horrendous sales.

I'd say somewhere between 225-275k. It's not going to do bad for am XBox but I think it will still struggle to open to a massive amount of sales.

It's got Crimson Dragon and the Psycho-Pass game (or maybe that's coming later in the year), and Titanfall got some interest from them. I can see 100K but I don't expect it to maintain much momentum after launch.

The Xbox One is the worlds most powerful all-in-one entertainment console ever made. Once the world see's that this is going to take off in sales. Thank you Microsoft. ^_^

50k-100k. I'd be very surprised if it goes over that.

The Xbox 360 sold over 1.7 million in Japan.

50-100k

How about weekly sales afterwards? I reckon they'll settle down to 400 a week.

Considering Japan's been chomping at the bit for The One and is the reason The Bore isn't selling there, I'm going with One Milllllion Dollars ..erm Consoles. :o

Serialy, eh, I'll go with a conservative number like 500k :P

Microsoft should be satisfied with 13 units sold

This isn't a Flopza Horizon 1.5 sales predictions thread.

That one will be closer to 300,000.

Yaaaaaaaaaawn. That was weak even by lem standards.

How much did the ps4 sold? Take that number and divide it by 10.

23K

hahah, the SP wasn't even trying and I got ya all flustered, dat ought to teach ya... youngen.

What in the world is "the SP," friend?

Silly lem speaking in tongues. Next they'll be hyping Ori!

Not to bright... but I already knew that from your postings, just stop while you're behind. :P

Except I wasn't using it's sales as a starting point. This thread is about opening sales. Even the original Xbox and Pippin did >50,000 and at that point it was basically labeled as a black PC box in an era where PC gaming was dead and Microsoft was strictly for business use.

This own logic kills your own theory because of the original Xbox.

less than 50000. Japan hates xbox. Also reading through this thread made me lol.
TC asks for peoples opinions, then when they think xbox will do badly he's all salty and tries to argue with them. luuuuuuul

That's not what this is about, I addressed what you said in the last page. That could be clearly possible. Heck, it could do 1 million and drop to current 360 numbers every day after the opening sales window.

"It could do 1 million" TC is delusional.

I predict 80 million in the first nanosecond, with 10 single units per week after. Quite a drop going 80 million to 10 units but since japan is some strange gaming vortex this sentence will now terminate.

Just opening up the discussion a little bit. No need to bite my head off.

Do you know what was great? Kinect Sports Rivals. I hope you got that, we all know lemmings buy their games. Right?

Or you can read in context.

I didn't think I was doing that.

It will be a household name in Japan. Kinda like Atom Bomb and Toyota Recall.

Which just goes to show how irrelevant Japan has become to the video game industry. It is an insular and closed market and they are behind with the latest trends like indie games, DD, and Unity engine. They had to make a character called Unity-chan to appeal to them which is so laughable.

I don't think it will sell any better than its predecessors

1: It is the most expensive console currently

2: Xbox brand has never done good in Japan

3: Japanese gamers prefer smaller compact consoles, that is why 3DS sells the best there as well as Vita and Wii U as well.

4: Japanese gamers don't care about system power which is proven again by the fact that the 3DS sells the best there.

Not here to bash the Xbox One but I truly believe that the Xbox brand is like 99.99% designed for the western gamer.

Nintendo rules Japan anyway, and Sony has their fair share of sales in Japan as well since they have a lot of exclusive JRPGs and things that interest Japanese gamers.

Vita and 3DS are selling the best in Japan, followed by Wii U and then everything else is low enough in sales to be negligible.

There just isn't room for Xbox anywhere in Japan.

Do they even know what an Xbone is?

That's what the quote is for genius.

If this were "The Price is Right" and everyone else bid the numbers in your poll, I would bid 1. There's no way in hell the Xbone sells 50,000 or more in it's first month in Japan.

Wow, xhawk7 and SecretPolice are either insane or insanely sarcastic.
