Microsoft Has Misstep in Japan

After a less than expected showing at midnight sales, it seems Microsoft is continuing to have trouble breaking Sony and Nintendoโ€™s strangle hold on the Japanese market.

In its first four days of sale, the Xbox One has managed to sell just under 24,000 units, or roughly a third of the XBox 360โ€™s sales through the same point. The 360 had managed to sell about 62,000 units in the first 2 days alone. In comparison, Sony moved 308,000 PS4 units in its first week while the Wii U sold a whopping 322,000 through the same point.

With an uphill battle ahead of them, weโ€™ll see if Microsoft has any tricks up their sleeves to win over the Japanese crowd where Mario still reigns supreme. Read the original story here.
