Xbox One Has Successful Launch in Korea, India, Singapore

The Xbox One has been steadily launching in a whole lot of territories worldwide; in September, it has been especially focused on Asia, with its launch Japan, and a planned one for China next week. And just earlier today, it also successfully launched in five other Asian markets- India, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and South Korea. Today was also meant to be the day it would have originally gone on sale in China, but there was a last minute delay there.

Unlike Japan, where the launch was a damp squib, the launch in these countries seems to have gone extremely well; players in Korea were lining up for the console for up to 160 hours before the launch, while malls in Singapore were jam packed for the launch. In India, several launch parties were held to celebrate the launch of the console, and Amazon India, the exclusive online retailer for the system in the country, reports unprecedented demand.

Of course, Microsoft still has its work cut out for it in these territories, as the PlayStation 4 launched here as much as nearly a full year ago in many cases, and is now firmly entrenched. Whether Microsoft can come to dominate these territories, and change its fortunes around in this round of the console wars, remains to be seen.

I don't know about China yet, but in these countries, the Xbox One appears to have gone off to a good start. Of course, it helps that the Xbox 360 was very successful in these regions too. Now, I don't know if the Xbox will actually manage to beat out PS4 in these areas, but at the very least, these areas are areas where Microsoft has some success to build on and get some extra sales numbers in the console war.

Yes.

Okay, kudos for the Jeremy Renner reference :p

Love the guy, think he's underrated. Still won't forgive him for shitting up my Bourne, though.

He's a really cool cat, I agree. He's very underrated and I also agree with misstep with Bourne, lol. I'll still watch his movies. :)

Yeah, man. Loved him in The Hurt Locker, and even his Avengers performance was great. Hell, I actually think he was okay in the Bourne movie too. Just wish the movie itself hadn't sucked :p

200-300k first week, I think. Would be amazing if they did better

are we expecting half a million to a million in sales?

Where do you get that number from?

Haha 100k first week, yeah maybe if you're bad at making an educated guess

1. Amazon had a deal that first 1000 pre-orders would get freebies. They never cancelled that deal. It is still there.

2. In their latest press release, they used "hundreds of xbox one were sold" instead of thousands.

I expected numbers or at least big numbers claims,but all this is based on a line supposedly forming 160 hours before launch.? lol

1 billion in it's first week no doubt? hehe :P

Good thing I said 200-300k then

I read it, no clue what you're pointing at... You said 100k first week and then it will dissapear. Well I'm just saying 200-300k first week...

No sales data = X1 success! Don't believe me? It says so right here in this piece I wrote...
