Do my eyes deceive me or is that an official Xbox twitter account? I would have got the joke if it was obviously a fake account, but I assumed it was real, hence my question.

 

[TypeO]

After the last week I nearly lost all my lurker hope with you Gaf, but this thread! Pure gold.

 

[Doffen]

Quite bad for Famitsu. I figured they'd like Dead Rising at least? Maybe it got too Americanized.

Famitsu is the IGN of reviews.

Anything below 35 is average. Anything below 30 is terrible.

Thanks

X-box is for pussies, i think, PC is real hard-core...

 

[truth411]

DAMN!!! LOL!!!

 

[//DEVIL//]

its really sad because the xbox one is really a one fine system. whatever the OS, the games it offers.

I do not regret purchasing mine at all. loving everything about it and honestly I play it more than my ps4.

each person has a different taste I guess.

 

[labaronx]

Realistic sales figure: 2,327. Bets are on!

Lifetime?

My bad. Didn't notice that. Reading this on a phone with a cracked screen.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

You guys not serious thinking it'll sell 30-40k the first week? I'd be stunned if it sold over 10k. Nobody knows about it according to JPN-gaf.

Don't worry, you're not the first and won't be the last one that got fooled by that lol

I don't think we'll see much support from small Japanese devs, unless MS pushes for it like it did in the past.

I would never have guessed we'd see them do what they did for the Xbox or for the Xbox 360.

I'm not saying I'm expecting it, but it wouldn't surprise me to see a small bunch of notable smaller Japanese-developed exclusives over the console's life. We've already heard some one-sided STG announcements.

 

[funkystudent]

No pictures of the lines outside stores yet?

 

[Syrus]

Geez, bunch a punks in this thread lolz. PS4 is bombing in Japan anyways but I expect X1 to beat it first month, after that who knows.

 

[SerTapTap]

Some people say "XBOX", people are all over the place with that brand. "X1" also grates my nerves.

Thought I was on GameFAQs for a second BTW

First week? Sure. Second week? Maybe. After that? Drop off is probably going to be even sharper than PS4. PS4 had a cross-gen Yakuza at least.

What are the chances that by the end of the week there will be more Microsoft consoles in Japanese homes that say "I MADE THIS" on the front than consoles that don't?

I can already see the upcoming PR from Microsoft "Fuck, who's idea was it to release a console that is bigger than people's houses...again?"

30-40k for launch on itself is already utterly dreadful.

A 10k launch? Xbox might as well give itself away for free.

Lets not say things we'll regr-

Never mind.

 

[Erolsky]

Home consoles are dead in Japan. Microsoft would be stupid to invest any Money in the Japan market. Just Launch it there at the lowest cost possible. that's the best and only Thing they can do in Japan. Everything else is just wasted Money.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

This should go extremely well.

 

[Relativ9]

Just launched in Scandinavia as well, haven't heard a fuck about it. One guy in my feed imported it from Germany a couple of months ago but that's about it.

 

[Chocolate & Vanilla]

Hard-core people need more hyphens

 

[Omni]

Japan is a lost cause for any console maker at this point.

Why is this? I don't particually understand it. Do the games on both consoles just not appeal to the Japanese?

What did PS4 do at launch?

 

[Chobel]

You can't make pictures of what doesn't exist.

 

[Castef]

Looks like they are doing a soft launch. They don't seem to have any expectations.

That's the best strategy they can have with this console in Japan.

Spoiler

Actually, the best one would be NOT launching the console in Japan at all... oh, well...

I think there's more then 20k pre orders online I believe

 

[Tamanon]

What did PS4 do at launch?

309K

 

[Ban Puncher]

 

[BGBW]

GAF couldn't handle the truthfulness

 

[stryke]

What did PS4 do at launch?

Barely over 300k.

 

[TasTokyo]

I have mine pre-ordered. Although I almost certainly didn't have to actually pre-order it. With point cards here it is nice getting a 10% effective cash back from the purchase.

Pretty funny seeing a twitter thread I posted in on gaf too.

 

[salromano]

Xbox One is now available in Japan.

 

[Chocolate & Vanilla]

So based on that ~45k fw shipment estimate I'm gonna bet on a 25k-28k first week. Gonna drop hard after that though I reckon

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

What did PS4 do at launch?

300k+, I believe.

 

[Trago]

This thing isn't going to move much, especially with the PS4 and Wii U struggling.


Are there any other Japanese exclusives other than Scalebound announced for the Xbox One?

 

[Kouriozan]

Xbone going to outsell Wii U + PS4 combined next week.

Spoiler

:lol

 

[we.are.the.armada]

Have they secured any exclusive JRPGs or anything?
