Microsoft's Xbox has become a popular console, holding its own against Sony and Nintendo. But there's one market where the Xbox hasn't been a hit with consumers — Japan.

When Microsoft released the Xbox in 2001 in the United States, Japan was the gaming juggernaut of the world. It was home to the three big console makers, Nintendo, Sega and Sony, and had the best developers.

Today, Microsoft still struggles to sell consoles in Japan. Of the 46.9 million Xbox Ones sold worldwide through the second quarter of 2019, just 0.3% of them have been in Japan, according to the International Data Corporation.

Thank You! For your support to those who really needs you.

That's cuz Japanese people love Japanese stuff! Except KFC. They love KFC. Although karaage is awesome just as well (like once a year! - because it's fried.)

Japan is PlayStation’s turf

I want a free Xbox!

The answer is simple. They lack Japanese Exclusives.

A simple answer. The sense is different.

Because Sony rules😋

So wait, why is it then? I read the article and didnt see the answer

No good games only for Xbox. Not superior to PS4. Never seen my friends having Xbox in Japan. By the way, a lot of great PS4 games will be released in next 6 months. PS5 will be released in the end of 2020.
