So the Xbox One launches today in Japan...

where's the dragon ball comparison? i really liked the one that one store had for ps4

edit:

found it
 
the sales point of the XOne in Japan is weird....

Did you enjoy X360 but have no interest in playing X360 games again?
+
Do you want to play the vast majority of games that are on the PS4 that you ignored at lower res/on worse hardware?
+
Do you really really like Forza / Dead rising 3 and can't wait for ... um... Halo?
+
Do you want to pay more than for the PS4 you ignored?



... i'm going to go Aki at lunch ... why does are my bones saying "you are going to buy this monstrosity" ? :/
 
I just downloaded the Chaos;Child demo and while I didn't understand shit, the setting and concept seem very interesting. Something about a disease in 2015¿ Maybe I'm wrong, but the art is quite good. I'd love to see it localized... or better yet, I'd love to be able to read Japanese to enjoy it.

It's pretty depressing to see the One doing so poorly, I knew it was gonna fail miserably but seeing it is sad. For all the shit it gets from the public, I think it's actually a good console.

Yeah.
It is a fantastic console. The main problem it has right now is cleaning up the PR disaster that just doesn't go away.
I find the Xbox One still rather clunky without kinect though, so others may as well.
 
Wait, really? Other than some quibbles over the new designs, I don't think I've ever heard of anyone outright preferring the old games.

I was heavily involved in the KI tournament scene back in the day with KI 1 and KI2, so Im a purist with this franchise.

The new KI is not bad but I just don't care about it and prefer the old ones.

The general feeling I have about the new KI is of a "try hard". From music, to design and sound effects. Also in the new one there is a guess factor with the combo breakers which in the original KI was based on type of attack.

You cant (to my knowledge) do shadowed, slowed combos and ultras. In KI2 you had to input the command 2 or 3 times as fast before pressing the button and the combo would be 2 or 3 times slower and I loved to do that at the arcades.
 
launching a system during summer. worst thing you could ever do.

poor ms, they should just avoid japan. its clearly a waste of money, if they are hardly accepting any foreign brands except apple,Windows, Starbucks, KFC, McDonalds, GAP, BMW/Mercedes, Intel, Adidas, Yahoo, Amazon, Louis Vuitton, Puma, Hermes, how do you sell a foreign artifact/product in a inscrutable asian culture eh

sad to see, that the xbox and the best system of ms, the 360 clearly failed there.

i still hope, its going to change and they are able to change the market there a bit, but i guess home consoles are a thing of the past.... mobile is the new buzz word there...
Just helping you out there with the whole perspective thing.

Foreigners just don't understand how to market or dominate in a asian market like the local software companies Microsoft Japan. There's just no way for outsiders to break in unless you're apple.
 
Wow I think that actually may in fact be Yusuf Mehdi's real twitter account. It's not verified from what I can tell but the tweets seem real
 
After work today I will go down to Yodabadhi camera in Akihabara to see if I can recreate the picture of the sad guy at the register and also pick up a xbox one controller for my pc. It is the Akihabara Yodabashi no?
 
Oh dear. I can't wait to see sales next week. That tweet. Man, after I stopped laughing, I felt embarrassed and bad. I reallllly hope that isn't real.
