N-gage.
Click to expand...

I don't think the N-Gage ever launched in Japan.

But in the USA, the N-Gage sold 7,211 units in its launch month (October 2003).

Given the likelihood that the vast majority of those 7,211 launch units were front-loaded, Xbox One's 3,000 unit Japanese debut would actually be WORSE than the N-Gage's USA debut.

And that's saying something.

I know right? Can you imagine?

It would be the worst console launch in...quite a while. Maybe the worst console launch of all time.

It would be the by far the worst as far as we know.
I believe that the lowest launches we have trace of are the NGP and NGPC ones which were between 18K and 24K.

famitsu

xbox: 123,000 (first three days)
xbox 360: 62,135 (first two days)

the xbox 360 wound up doing enormously better than its predecessor. i mean, not great by any normal measure, but the growth was pretty big, and it even spawned the critically and commercially successful science adventure series. i don't think the xbox one will have the same pull.

so if the ps4 does a good i don't know, 5-6 million in japan (doubling dreamcast sales), and the wii u reaches 3m (dreamcast sales), what will the xbox one come in around?

the original xbox couldn't break 500k in japan, but the 360 did about 3-4 times the amount. i wonder if 2014 and 2015 will be the only years where it breaks 100k.

Unless you're joking....PS4 to double the Wii U?

Not saying it's impossible
sort of
but if so, it better get a move on...


EDIT:
Hm, some rough math.
To sell 6 mill in 7 years, it would need to sell and average of 14,600/week starting right now.

Actually, if things pick up, I guess that's not impossible over the long run. But still.

ps4 is getting two final fantasies and at least one if not more dragon quests. it's getting metal gear solid and kingdom hearts. these are the last of the major japanese franchises that aren't made by nintendo (or aren't on mobile), and most of them sell a million units on consoles. or at least they used to.

i'm basically giving it a huge benefit of the doubt, especially as the remaining developers circle the wagons (atlus, nis, koei tecmo, etc)

Not sure if comparing to a month works.

But as for Japan, Nokia did a limited release do to horrible preorders. I may be off but I recall like 800. The delay also helped with it selling bad, but it died in like 2 weeks everywhere else so it probably did not matter.

If they released the QD model first maayybbeee...

What if we predict which will sell more this year? VitaTV, PSP or Xbox One? :p

As hilarious as it would be, it's not going to be 3k, but rather around 30k. Anything else would be insanity

It won't break 100k in 2014. Too little time not enough games.

It probably won't even reach orginal box sales in Japan as that had clean start for a brand while One comes after two failed consoles.


Hmm in Japan wouldn't it be more natural to write 3x10k if it sold 30k ?

so, it's pretty clear that PS4 x 3 = PS12 = DQ12 PS4 exclusive within 3 year.
Am I reading the leaks right?

They teased "news scoops" for "new title(s)". Anything unreleased is a new title, and anything that they haven't printed before is a scoop! *cough*

Welp. Guess I expected much :p

Can't wait for more Dai Gyakuten Saiban info. I wonder if they'll show Sherlock and 8yo Watson.

yes it is, because they like to be different from the rest of the world

our multiplier is x1,000 based, in Japan is x10,000; after 1,000,000 becomes complicated to understand how they are counting (or at least for me)

Resident Evil is still a big seller too (though I'm not sure how much RE6 damaged the brand).

So if Xbox One is 30K, Microsoft is losing 50% of first-week buyers every launch.
