Lines of excited buyers conspicuous by their absence
The Xbox One launched in Japan on Thursday with next to no fanfare and one store in Tokyo reporting that they hadn't sold a single console by late afternoon.
Some electronics and game stores in central Tokyo had put out signs at midnight last night telling nonexistent customers where to line up for their Xbox Ones. Other outlets, with lower but more realistic expectations, had not gone to the trouble of opening early.
"Honestly speaking, we haven't sold a single Xbox yet today. The Xbox has never been a big-seller, but we would expect a few customers on the release day," a sales assistant at a Tokyo electronics store, who asked for it not to be identified, told The Hollywood Reporter.
At Yodobashi Camera in Yurakucho, a single customer waiting to buy the Xbox One when the store opened was reported to be outnumbered by a group of journalists there to cover the launch.
What? from 10 boxes each, they obviously won't be making another order, its just so sad that the xbox stans have to resort to "MS already made the money from the retailers hihi"

I mean, wasn't it obvious that the Xbox would bomb in the country of the playstation?
I'm PS4 all the way. I only have an xbox 360 now because when it came down to selling my ps3 or 360, I was able to get waaaaay more. If it weren't for the fact that Skyrim plays better on the 360, I wouldn't even own it
