So the Xbox One launches today in Japan...

Those Ouya imports will save it!

Honestly I'm not going to lie, that may be the only way for consoles to move over there really (unless something big happens) because you can play your phone games on a TV and it has that touchpad in the middle.

It's not like 2 of the 3 current gen consoles don't have a controller with a touch pad

And we're done here
 
solaire qnd izaduno, you guys know there's a pm function on gaf right?

I wish I had never replied to be honest. There wasn't even a discussion, just a bizarre misunderstanding of that I may or may not have implied.

Dunno how you got izaduno from my name though lol. I quite like it.
 
Xbox One also was launched on Chile. It had a good amount of people, but not on the same level of the PS4 launch, that launch was madness.

Most japanese i've seen who are interested in core games are holding off because they want more sum gate(domestic japanese titles), but its kind of a chicken and egg scenario because Japanese developers are pretty much hardly on consoles anymore which leads to apathy for consumers. I think that there is a decent amount of people who would buy a PS4 if devs gave it a chance, even though the market has definitely shrunk.

The fevor over Dragon quest heroes(a nintendo exclusive in the eyes of many japanese, Persona 5 was really surprising to me
 
Picking my preorder up tomorrow after class. :) I've been waiting so long for this to finally come out. Between this and Smash Bros next week, I'm not going to be getting much work done.
Enjoy your Xbox One!

But man, lol at the "ONE Xbox One" label. It's so funny.
 
I think the Euro launch will be just as bad.

I was googling for news about the Dutch launch in two day. I got this article a Dutch business site: http://www.entertainmentbusiness.nl...ameretailer-sceptisch-over-xbox-one-lancering

Independent Dutch game stores haven't heard anything from MS. There are no tv, radio or magazine ads, there's no effort to put display stands in shops so people can see and play Xbox One games. You can't even pre-order them because they don't know if they'll get any from MS. Instead, they'll go on importing them from Germany. They all complain about the lack of any hype for the Dutch launch (which is to be expected since the console was unofficially for sale for months now)

Dragan Blom, owner of Foregames in Breda and Tilburg says: "The official launch looks to become a non event. We haven't heard anything from MS. Stores don't get any advertising/display stands. Why are aren't therey any TV ads to stimulate demand? I'm starting to think they have given up.

And then there's this hilarious video (mostly in Dutch) from a Dutch gaming site: http://www.xgn.nl/video/1804/wat-koopt-nederland-een-ps4-of-xbox-one
 
Why? We dont get numbers if even good until 24 hours pass. Go to sleep.



Well, this is Microsoft you know. Did you forget how fast they reported the initial Xbox One Launch Numbers? Microsoft had a press release out that they sold out of all launch systems before the first 24 hours was even up.



How they could get that information, with launch consoles still available in some stores, is amazing.
