Xbox console sells worse in 3rd week then I expected
« on: March 14, 2002, 04:05:53 AM »
Is the xbox doomed in japan even eariler then I expected?
Acording to Dengeki, the xbox only sold 9,635 units in its 3rd week... I had estimated 20k for week 3. I don\'t think the NGC ever dropped below 10k, which IMO is the threshold number of doom.

That makes weekly sales

123k - week 1
30k - week 2
9.6k - week3

and this current rate, it could take many months before they break a half a million

Total sales: 162k

Zero. Zilch. Nada. None. 0.

Not yet. Hell no. I\'m getting mo\' money soon... we\'ll see... if the S-controller is released here I might give it more thought, cause the original one SUCKS, ecch, bloody oversized vibrator. The button layout is easily one of the worst ever. Oh yeah, and more interesting games wouldn\'t hurt even if MS wants to see me purchase one :p

I\'m gonna find out how many were sold in the initial "rush" *cough* here last night. I\'ve heard there were truckloads shipped to stores last midnight in Helsinki (our capital), for the most eager gamers to score theirs. The coverage on the magazines has been quite weak so far, with some large stores advertising the box with small ads (that are easily lost into the plethora of VCRs, DVDs and washing machines pictured). Some tabloids and newspapers are even doing special coverage now, taking insights into the gaming world (focusing on the *Box) and stuff... meaning that I\'ll be pissed off once again by authors who don\'t know ANYTHING about what they\'re babblin\' about, bah :p

haha yeah its the same i holland, and we have these really dumb commercials on TV about xbox showing nothing but its logo, doesn\'t even say when it will be released.

Gosh i wonder why no-one knew about its launch today :rolleyes:

hopefully they will pick up soon, if it wasn\'t for the GC delay xbox was dead before launch

Microsoft only shipped 300,000 consoles in their initial shipment, and it looks like it might take a while before the stores need to reorder. ;)

Why do you all seem to enjoy the fact that the XBox is off to a slow start? I think some of you need to stop sucking on Sony\'s nutsacks and realize that more game systems means more and better games for us. If XBox and GC fail then it will only hurt us as gamers.

No its not just that its a SLOW start .... its that the PS2 is still selling at a Phenomenal rate.

the Gap between Sony and Microsoft is Growing day by day and this and the European launch is not helping close this any !

alos its good to say to any X box Zelots out there

is that Shipped or Solded !

after all thats all we ever got in here ever since the PS2 hit the BIG 20 million Last year

i think it should be Close to 35 million by now !
