Poll Let's predict Xbox One OPENING JAPANESE SALES. (85 votes)

50,000 55%
100,000 14%
200,000 11%
300,000 4%
400,000 1%
500,000 15%

Now keep in mind this is when Xbox One first goes on the report. The Xbox One comes out In japan sept 4 or 6 depending on what confusing source you decide to believe, but most say 6th so eh. This would be on a Saturday meaning that report on Xbox One sales will not happen until 6 days later..

The first thing people should think about is that Xbox has had decent opening before. The Xbox 360 did over 250,000 however, it was also cheap and released with a decent library,

The second thing to think about is that the PS4 while games being an issue, opened at around 300,000 although the lack of real game announcements hurt it quite a bit and still have this issue.

SO NOW we get to the Xbox One launch. The Xbox One will be launching with 29 games and 3 confirmed SKUs and one rumored one: Xbox One with Kinect bundled with Kinect Sports and Titanfall, The Kinectless SKU, a regular Kinect SKU, and a rumore Kinectless SKU bundled with Crimson Dragon and Killer Instinct.

Out of the 29 known (it is said they added a few more but they have not brought those out to the open yet) you have 2 exclusive Japanese games and 8 Multiplatform japanese games (3 with additional content, making a total of 10 Japanese oriented games at launch. This along with 7 European games, 3 General Asian games, and 9 American games.

This opening is the complete opposite of what we saw from the competition. While it is still debatable how the legs of the Xbox One will be and also, it will launch before TGS, it could go either way in staying consistent. But I believe that the Xbox one due to this will at least have similar numbers to the PS4 launch or at max a bit more.

The Japanese price of Kinect Xbox One is equal to roughly $450 while the Kinectless is roughly around $350, but keep in mind the rise of taxes and inflation of japanese yen so these are actually some good deals similar to the U.S. pricing.

I think that the 300,000 range is what the Xbox one will due, it may be possible to slightly pass the PS4. I am a little iffy of it doing 400,000 opening.

But keep in mind this is just the opening.

25,000+

Sad thing is with MS dropping Kinect I see the Japanese market having LESS interest.

Edit. Sorry. I had put 250,000 by mistake.

Xbox sells like shit in Japan, so I doubt open sales will be very high. Maybe around 100,000. Maybe.

True! But in the same time console games in Japan are totally different now a day also I don't think Xb1 has any type of games that cater the Japanese yet right?

Unless it is being bundled with a Senran Kagura Kinect Editionesque game, i cant see it opening with over 100k.

Could possibly hit the 800k lifetime mark if it gets lucky.

For OPENING sales? Not sure how people are getting <50k without looking at history. Pippin did not even up below 50k.

This is an invalid argument because the Pippin was being pushed as an alternate computer with programs gaming system when PC gaming was pretty much dead in japan 100% at the time of release, and they still out did 50,000 opening. But they sold a 10th of that later.

No body cares about consoles anymore. Hell the PS4 has struggled to sell over 5k a week. The Japanese care even less about a foreign made console which has nothing aimed at them. The XB1 is going to bomb hard there and I've argued for a long time it probably isn't even worth MS launching in Japan.

Hell, you got devs like Square and Atlus who don't even bother porting games to the Xbox consoles anymore.

Looking at media create PS4 sales.... It could get ugly.

The PS4 did sell out at launch though?

EDIT: My guess 100K-200K

Depends on how the Titanfall hype hits them, right now that's the only game I see really appealing in that market. I'd say 75,000 and thats a reach lol

7 million day one, the Xbone launches and Japan go crazy, people protest when stores start selling out. The Xbone becomes the official mascot of Japan...

Or 50,000 slowly dropping to the 100s as the years go by

But the PS4 managed to get 300,000 out on opening despite it selling 8x less than that every day since.

What you don't seem to understand is this thread is about OPENING sales. Basically the LAUNCH period. Xbox One is also entering with more games and more japanese appealing games than the PS4 is. Which will also SLIGHTLY help the launch.

I am not saying the Xbox One, just for example would say sell, 400,000 opening (although i think 300 is where it will be at) but may end up selling 200 every week afterward. Remember the 360? Around toward 300k but when Wii and PS3 where doing 20,000 or so a week afterward on average Xbox 360 was doing like 5,000. But that';s not what I am talking about, I am talking first impressions.

You're running out of excuses man. PC market was devasted and had become way expensive in comparison. Apple was not even a popular thing then over there, Bandai was already screwing up advertising, software sales were abysmal, and yet it still did more than 50,000 on the OPENING week.

The 360 was the first gen 7 console out in Japan, and released to a market that was much more interested in consoles that it is today. And that's before taking the economy into consideration. Using its sales as a starting point is a mistake.

If it hits 50k consoles on launch week I think MS would be thrilled.

The 360 sold about 1.6 millions in japan and the PS3 about 10 millions iirc.

The PS4 sold to customers in the first week about 500k and thats 5% of the PS3 LTD.

Im expecting a lower percentage for the xbone, about 3 to 4% seems right so about 50 to 60k.
