Number of pre-orders for Xbox series x and Xbox series s in Japan on the first day exceeded the number of consoles bought by the Japanese for the entire 2019 year Xbox one… About this in an interview with the publication GameSpot said the head of the gaming department Microsoft Phil Spencer…
In Japan, the new consoles immediately ran out of pre-orders. Later, Microsoft gave the stores an additional supply. Spencer did not disclose the total number of pre-orders, but it is known that in 2019 Japanese players bought 8 thousand Xbox One consoles… Nintendo Switch sales during the same period were 4.49 million and PS4 sales were 1.19 million.
Phil Spencer confirmed that Microsoft will work hard with Japanese players and the Japanese market. He believes the Xbox team has a chance for the best generation in the brand’s history in Japan.… That being said, he does not expect the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S to begin to outshine the Nintendo and Sony consoles in their home country, although he would like to compete.
Other Asian markets are also very important to Microsoft. Japan is the largest console country in the region, but there are also China, South Korea, Taiwan and other territories where console gaming is growing. Moreover, the Xbox team intends to promote both traditional gaming and cloud gaming.
In South Korea, for example, the majority of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers today are people without an Xbox but already playing modern Xbox games on their phones via the xCloud cloud service, Spencer said.
