Xbox One X Sells 1,344 Units in its Debut Week in Japan

4.2

With pre-orders of the Xbox One X sold out in Japan, we wondered whether the console was somewhat popular in the country, or Microsoft simply shipped a very limited quantity. Today we finally received our answer, thanks to the weekly Media Create drop.

Here is the hardware sales chart related to the period between November 6th and November 12th.

Switch: 79, 958
PS4: 20,021
New 2DS XL: 10, 323
New 3 DS XL: 7,296
PS4 Pro: 6,037
PS Vita: 3,210
2DS: 1,484
Xbox One X: 1,344
New 3DS: 266
Xbox One: 121
PS3: 41
Wii U: 36

So yeah, while the Xbox One X did cause a significant boost in Xbox One sales percentage-wise, it’s obvious that it was shipped in very limited quantities, and the fact that major retailers did not carry any availability on day one certainly did not help sales either.

At this point, though, we can probably safely say that the promise of massive power (at least for a console) did not particularly tempt Japanese gamers.
