Poll Let's Predict how bad the Xbox One sells in Japan thread. (58 votes)

1 million at launch week 16%
600,000-700,000 at launch week 2%
500,000 at launch week 7%
300,000-350,000 at launch week 3%
150,000-200,000 at launch week 7%
<150,000 at launch week 66%

We are almost in the "Months between February and August" vague time frame Microsoft gave for the Japanese (and chines but that's a different story) launch.

Now for comparison the Xbox first sold 230,000 the first week, and the Xbox 360 sold 368,000 at launch week. Another note is the original Xbox fell of a cliff a few weeks later, and the Xbox 360 started getting big drops and modest gains back and fourth.

We don't know what Microsoft is planning to ship, but they did mention pre-orders, and the Japanese did have some interest in TitanFall.

But I am not reallly sure that means it's going to sell. I will give them 500,000 if they do some good advertising and get some games on board. If they pull a PS4, I can see them doing the last and second to last option.

360 almost sold 500,000 launch week.

368k is not 'almost 500k' its a good way off. x360 launched around 7 months before ps3 and was a lot cheaper. this was also a period where japan hadnt embraced mobile/handheld gaming like it has now. not only will x1 be more expensive than ps4 by the time it releases they wont have many, if any, japan centred games either. japan bought ps4 purely for future titles that will be released and given how strong sony brand is over there and x360 weak performance there is no way x1 will even make a dent in japan. 100k at max during launch week

Japan has increasingly lost interest in consoles, and hates big bulky electronics in general. So I don't think it stands a chance of even beating the 360's opening week.

I voted 500,000 just to drink cow tears and for the laughs.

Still doubt it, Japan console game market is currently Gas-empty and running with the smoke of gasoline like Sony.

I would have thought gadgets like kinect would sell really well in Japan... I expect that to move units alone.

Why is 150,000 the lowest option when it will lucky to sell even half of that?

It's like having a poll for Ryse where the lowest review score is a 7.

I'd predict around 10,000.

Considering the application of those words is rather arbitrary, then the point is rather moot. That being said, it was a mild jab as a joke... Not serious.

Will sell less than half of what the PS4 did. 100K would actually be pretty impressive.

Use that Kinect 2.0 for Ecchi, Hentai and Miku Animation/Dancing.

Isn't the Kinect 2.0 powerful enough to detect boners?

Minimum 300k. Maximum 500k. Xbox One is going to flop hard. The original Xbox only sold a little over 500k in Japan lifetime.

The real question is why does anyone care? Japan is becoming less relevant in the console market anyway.... game wise ofcourse. if nintendo continues to fail, there won't be a whole del of good Japanese console games anymore.
