I think China would be Xbox One's best hope in Asia. It's quite obvious Japan doesn't care, and Southeast Asia is pretty much PS region.

Ouch look at all that crushed black in the X-1 pic.
With strong cultural influences from both Taiwan and Hong Kong, I doubt so. They are also much much more receptive to Japan/Korea/Anime (w/e the term is) aesthetics than Western countries.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised by the actual lack of retail stories being posted.

nobody i know here in Singapore gives a shit about the xbox one. its either PS4 or PC for them.... which is weird because im pretty sure last gen xbox 360 was more popular here than PS3
To be fair MS hasn't exactly started drumming up their hype machine yet...they do have less than 3 weeks though. The Starhub/MS TV tie-up might be the wildcard here, if the service is any good I could see the mainstream getting Xboxes for living room usage with some light gaming on the side. Of course this also means people will be waiting for the inevitable XB1 "freebie" giveaway for SH recontracts.nobody i know here in Singapore gives a shit about the xbox one. its either PS4 or PC for them.... which is weird because im pretty sure last gen xbox 360 was more popular here than PS3
I was surprised how much I still saw this on various forums...I'm just happy it's finally going to be over with so people can end the hilarious talking point of "well it's not out in all these other countries that are literally a collective blip on the radar for any Microsoft console this go around so therefore the gap isn't really as big as it seems."
I'm glad the system will finally be "officially" out for those in these countries, ya'll can get proper support now for the systems. If you imported the systems, you can load in the appropriate languages for Kinect and whatnot too now, right?
The ps3 didn't beqt the 360 why do people keep posting this shit, without any evidence to back it up. Last official number the 360 was winning.
No, actually PS3 hardware is on top from a few sites I believe...The ps3 didn't beqt the 360 why do people keep posting this shit, without any evidence to back it up. Last official number the 360 was winning.
dafuq.....?

Either way, 360 smashed PS3 in U.S sales, and Sony made up for those with sales from other territories. More software also sold on 360 and MS probably made more money with Live subscriptions despite RROD fiasco.
They are very close, but realistically, 360 "won" last gen if excluding Wii. I don't think it really matters if Sony pulls out another 5 million more units than X360, they loss a ton of market share and because of there mistakes, ushered in another competitor they likely could have dominated.

How many of them bought it Jailbroken?
Because 360's penetration into the surrounding markets has everything to do with it being the pirates console of choice.
its almost impossible to find one here due to the strict laws. there are no stores in Singapore that i know of that even sells any pirated games or dvds.
Why, as consumers, are we obligated to treat anything equally?
That's like saying Argentina won the World Cup if you exclude Germany.
In the UAE they are including Fifa 15, Forza 5, Halo Spartan Assault and 2 other smaller digital games.
It is a nice bundle considering they are 1 year late here, but sadly, the kinect-less bundle is slightly more expensive than a Ps4. I found that surprising considering they will be playing catch up.
Gnomes and leprechauns.Loooool wut
Do you even realize what you're saying? How can a hardware advantage "lessen" over time? The same hardware advantage for the PS4 over the X1 will remain forever. Software can attempt to mask it, but the advantage will never go away.
And I'd say Sony selling a more powerful console at the same price is the biggest advantage by far out of everything you listed.
GODDAMMIT.The hardware advantage is not lessening, that is impossible unless you think leprechauns came to switch out the compenents inside while you were sleeping.
edit: I was right, I checked both google and wikipedia and there is no such thing as microsoft leprechauns or microsoft gnomes.
Checkmate.
It's a short drive to JB.
Which reminds me, did Malaysia ever get a release date for the damn thing? X360s were quite popular over there, afaik.
Very definitive there chap, since all the 180's the only real thing PS4 has on XB1 is the hardware advantage which is lessening as time goes on (games hitting 1080p on XB1 more often). Other than that it's friends, price, OS, exclusives, controller ect which determine which is better (which is entirely opinion).

Wow 3 pages in and 5 or 6 actual interesting posts, great guys. Guess I shouldn't be surprised. Hoping to see some non-joke stories from the Japan launch today.

Was about to say the same, shit is getting tiring
I'm not sure why many have come up with this conclusion. The only reason 360 sold well in China because of piracy. 360 was big in SEA early in its life when PS3 hadn't been hacked yet.
Interesting and thanks for sharing.
I really hope the Xbone recovers. I did not like it at all when it was announced and at launch but with the changes and frequent updates I really like it now. I have my own and just ordered another for my brother's birthday. Whether anyone else likes it or not, Sony does seem to need more competition than they've been getting this generation so they start performing better - the gaming is good but otherwise my PS4 feels very spartan.

Well, i guess most gamers find the ps4 better in those regards then, no ?
By the way, how is a hardware advantage lessening ?

Nope PS4 can't improve, not possible without future proof dx12 compatible hardwarePeople always say this. Why?
You take this scenario as a vacuum, saying that the the hardware advantage is lessening because the Xbox is making improvements.
Well PS4 is making improvements as well so the gap will still be there. And besides hardware gaps can't be closed (please don't quote ps3 and 360 as they were completely different architecture), PS4 has the better gpu, and it is a fact.
Microsoft has decided to go Amazon exclusive with the Xbone in my country. The system will literally not be available at any retail stores. Well not officially anyway.
This is going to be interesting.

This is Denmark, they are launching here tomorrow.
here is the official twitter acount.
it´s like Microsoft isn´t even trying..
59 followers..? Ouch.
the fuck...in the entire country?!
I'm interested in the backstory of this. Is Amazon the most popular store there or something?
