That's impressive. Perhaps Xbox Series will outsell for one week the old gen PS4 one day ! LMAO.
Oh wow, the 360 sales explode soon. I assume that's the Kinect effect, right? I cannot see how Series will be able to keep up with that. But being the second best Xbox console in the market is at least something.
Kinect only released in 2010, the jump in sales starts around late summer 2008, so the reason must be something else.
Edit: At the time, Microsoft revamped the prices for the consoles and brought down the base price to $199 (X360 Arcade). If a similar move happened in Japan, then the new prices could have enticed Japanese players.
Nice to see the XBox having some life in Japan. The XBOne flatlined so early on...
hopefully games like Starfield and fable will push more sales
