Umm, what exactly is the point of this thread?  To show you how bad MS games are selling?  I see DOA3 is selling well.

The chart may have been posted to day, but their of the week in which I believe is the Xbox launch. The good news, for Tecmo, at least relative to the Xbox total sales, it is doing "well". But the Xbox itself...going to be a while before it takes a hold of the Japanese market...if ever.

GC sold at least (edit: no more) 1 million in Japan. Afterall, Super Smash Brother already sold above 1 million (even these charts indicate that).

Xbox is going to have a long way to go before it takes a foothold in Japan (as I said before) with both the GC and the PS2 selling pretty well even now (more so with the PS2, but now that Square is back developing games for the GC, even harder for the Xbox to take a foothold).

How long did it take it to reach 1 million??  I believe it was around 4-5 months.  After Super Smash Bros. came out...

How long will it take xbox to sell a half a million at a rate of 15k a week..? which will probably drop down to 12k a month or lower.. with no sign of improvment beacuse of lack of software

Lets do the math

123k (launch) + 30k (week 2) + 20k (estimated week 3) = 173k

Being very optimistic, and assuming it stays at 15k (not likely at all)
It should take the xbox about 6 months to sell 500k total

Well, not possible..

the game is super expensive because it only comes packaged with the controller.. not to mention the size of the controller.

Expensive Game and Controller + Expensive Xbox won\'t sell consoles

Plus this game is not even on the top 20 most wanted titles

I have a question: Why do we care if the Japs are buying the Xbox or not?  I could really care less as long as it is still in the USA.

Post by: mm on March 12, 2002, 06:53:34 PM
as usual, yer not looking at the big picture

NO console can rely on US sales alone, especially when PS2 is selling it 3 to 1

someone doesnt seem to look at the devs names that make games they buy

more then half are gonna be japanese

without the support of japanese then they wont release them to xbox exclusive and the most they would be able to hope for would be ports - if the devs feel those will sale enough and by the looks of onimusha thats not the case

yeah i mean why buy the Onimusha x box post when you already have it for your PS2.

but i do have to add to this is that how the hell is M$  going to get anywaywhen they are being ignored  in Japapn and and they in turn Igrore the needs of Europe

after all Europe is the quickest Gaming market out there.

M$$$$$ can not afford to snub us.
