Xbox One to launch in Japan for September. I don't think the Xbox One will do very well in Japan, unless Microsoft
release some good Japanese games.

I guess all we can do now is hope for the best. I don't want to sound selfish but so long as the console is doing well over here then I am a happy chap! Lol. *holds riot shield*

GG thanks for the link dude. That man, what a brave guy!

Why would XBox want to release some "Good Japanese Games"?

The market is already saturated with great Japanese games from home grown Japanese companies such as Nintendo and Sony.

Microsoft new what they were doing not wasting their time with a great big Japanese launch. As I said in another thread, they're not trying to break the Japanese market but rather offer the Janpanese market a break.

I can see games like KI and Sunset Overdrive, and that one game via ID@Xbox with Magic in the title, being attractive to Japan's market. They are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

maybe launching in China will be a bad idea,
these rules don't leave much.

Well, I'm guessing the more games the Xbox One has that go after Japanese consumers, the more sales for Microsoft in Japan. Phil Spencer mentioned that are several unannounced Japanese-developed Xbox One titles
on the way, many of which will be revealed this year.

PS4 is doing very badly in Japan. Those 325,000 consoles sold were shipped and most of those were sent back to the US, counted as sold AGAIN (shipped). So there are around 6.5 million PS4'S in existence and 7 million have been counted as sold (shipped).
Knack sold 160,000 copies and was bundled with every PS4 sold there. They lied.

Xbox puts its numbers Sold Through but I expect that it will still crack 200K or more in China within a month.

Microsoft has their work cut out for them if they think they can take China by storm and outsell the better know PS brand. I don't see that happening... Prior to XB1 launch I would argue that anything is possible, but now that reality has set in, I don't
see it going that way.

Microsoft can't even crack Japan after all of these years. They haven't made a dent in the market there. They don't have a sense for what Asian gamers like or want. I think 100K console is being too generous, unless they are talking about lifetime. XBox
is just not as respected or well know in the world as playstation is.

When I was in China in 2006 it was very easy to find a PS2. In fact I've seen them in quite a few different houses that I stayed in. They will get whatever they can afford. It doesn't matter who makes it. People there do not make a lot of money.

Koreans aren't fond of Japanese people, but they love their Playstations.

I lived in each country for 1 year each and while that isn't a lot of time I can almost tell you it doesn't matter if it is a Japanese/American product or not. They want what is accessible and affordable.
