    From what I can tell, yes. AND it's the biggest Xbox title in Japan since the X1 launched with Titanfall in 2014.

    However, we do have to note that Diablo 4 Xbox bundle is the reason for that. Out of the 8843 XboxX sold, 8524 were Diablo bundles. Meaning 319 normal XboxX sold which is on par with recent Xbox sales.
