So the Xbox One launches today in Japan...

This thread….the gifts….

I expect Twitter and Reddit to light up with Pony talk imminently.
 
Why couldn't they have had a Killer Instinct tournament?

You can't really sell a console to someone after they lose really bad to the pros.

They got our typical Western lineup as their launch titles. I didn't expect it to do better.
 
Japan GAF member here checking in on his lunch break. Last generation I preferred Xbox360 but also had a PS3 for exclusives.

Honestly I totally forgot the XB1 was launching here today. I'm not interested in buying one at the moment at its current price and game lineup. I'm holding off for a design revision and a price drop. The same goes for the PS4 for me. I'm just not sold on the current generation consoles yet, especially in the semimandatory multiplayer in many big title games. Online gaming is next to dead on consoles here unless they're portables or smartphone. I couldn't justify paying for live or PS+ even for the free games.

Tldr: I'm not buying one nor do I care.
 
It'd be hilarious if Mehdi actually uses that image in his presentation slides to his bosses when sharing updates on the tier-2 launch.

Mehdi: "here's a image sent by fans of the launch in Japan. As you can see, not all hope is lost."

Spencer: "...."

You don't think of Japan when you think of XBox. You think America, Europe, or Australia. No offence.
 
To all the Sony fanboys who criticized Forza's 2D crowds, who's laughing now? Shit's realistic as fuck. Pick up a plate of crow while you're taking the L, guys.
 
Just went to the launch event! It was... completely dead. To my surprise, the cashier allowed me to choose a game of my choice, free of charge. I have no idea why, as there was no campaign or promotion going on that I could see.

 
Hate to be that guy but... guys, he obviously know it's fake.

"Great pic. Thanks for sharing" does not mean anything. You were expecting him to get mad or something?

Did it launch early? (asking because another gaffer said that they had launched earlier...).

Wow that's actually really cool for you then. :)

Enjoy your purchase!

Expecting him not to respond to troll pictures, as it just fuels more laughter, even if he didn't think it was real, it funny enough that he responded positively to a doctored picture.
 
Some pics of the launch I found. I'm seeing a good mix of demographics, people young and old, and even a toddler who managed to bring his pushchair.

First picture is people queueing for bread.
Second pictures from the 3DS pricedrop.
Third picture is MH4 launch.

Nice try, i guess.
