Apparently, from February 2002 until now, Microsoft has collectively sold 2,345,975 Xbox consoles. The Xbox 360 has been Microsoft’s best-selling console in the region to date, with 1,616,128 units sold, while the original Xbox trails in second place, with sales numbers standing at 472,992 units. Meanwhile, interestingly, the Xbox Series X/S have already outsold the lifetime sales of the Xbox One.
Given the Xbox 360’s figures, it shouldn’t be surprising that its library dominates the list of best-selling Xbox games in Japan. Dead or Alive 3 leads proceedings with 271,149 sold, and is followed by Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope, Tales of Vesperia, Blue Dragon, and The Last Remnant. You can find the full sales figures below.
Microsoft has been placing a much greater emphasis on expanding its presence in Japan of late, especially with the launch of the Xbox Series X/S, which, unlike the Xbox One, saw a simultaneous release in Japan.
Xbox has also been making moves to attract more Japanese games and developers to its platforms, and with Bethesda’s Tango Gameworks, has also added a Japanese studio to its first party lineup- though some analysts have suggested that Microsoft might struggle to make larger acquisitions of companies in the nation.
