Xbox One Reaches a New Low in Japan

Just when you think Microsoft could do no worse in Japan, the console proves that, yes, it can do even worse. Much worse. After a dismal Japan launch and thenhorrible sales, the latest weekly Xbox One sales for Japan are, simply put, Y1 com Game awful. During the week of June 8 to June 14, Microsoft sold a hundred Xbox One consoles in Japan. That’s right, one hundred.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); y1 com games https://kotaku.com/japans-xbox-one-launch-as-sad-as-youd-expect-1630411606 https://kotaku.com/the-xbox-ones-first-week-sales-in-japan-are-pretty-bad-1632862915 https://kotaku.com/the-xbox-one-is-doing-truly-awful-in-japan-1638971781 Here’s how the sales hardware sales chart shapes up for that week: [via 4Gamer] This data is from Media Create, which tracks game software and hardware sales in Japan. Yes, yes, I know that any of the home consoles aren’t exactly tearing up the sales charts, but compare the Xbox One numbers to the other consoles. Then, think about selling a hundred Xbox Ones in a week in a country of over 120 million people? Ouch. You know, now might be a good time to seriously reconsider Y1 COM even selling the console in Japan.
