As reported today by the publication FamitsuOver the past week, Japanese gamers have bought 3,684 consoles Xbox Series X | S – This is the best weekly result for the Xbox brand in the country in seven years (not counting the week of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S launch)…
Console sales skyrocket after Microsoft began increasing shipments to Japan – Like the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S have been in short supply here since November 2023…
Sales of a few thousand units may seem insignificant compared to the results of systems from Sony and Nintendo, but for the Xbox they are notable numbers. Microsoft previously announced that Japan was the fastest growing region for the Xbox., and the statistics from Famitsu indicate that from next week the Xbox Series X | S will begin to surpass the Xbox One in this market in terms of dynamics.
Xbox sales in Japan in the last month:
- May 24 – May 30 – 547 consoles
- May 31 – June 6 – 630 consoles
- Jun 7 – Jun 13 – 2,694 consoles
- Jun 14 – Jun 20 – 3,684 consoles
Otherwise, nothing interesting happened on the charts last week. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Final Fantasy VII Remake INTERGRADE has left the PlayStation 5 Top 10, and now it again consists entirely of Switch games with Game Builder Garage from Nintendo led (2 weeks in 1st place).
