Throughout history, Japan has been a territory dominated by Nintendo and Sony, with Microsoft always in the last place, and struggling to get a good position in this market. Although the original Xbox and the 360 ​​had decent performance, the One was a disaster in the country of the rising sun. Fortunately, it seems that this has changed with the arrival of X | s arrival, since in less than a year, this generation has surpassed the 100 thousand units sold in Japan.

According to Famitsu, by October 10, 64,284 Xbox Series X and another 38,307 of Xbox Series S have been sold in Japan. This gives a total of 102,591 in less than a year. In comparison, ONE reached this figure after four years in this market , and an analyst hopes that the new Microsoft platform exceeds what was seen in the last generation at the end of 2021.

On the other hand, in a lapse of similar time, PS5 has sold 922,929 units, and the PS5 Digital Edition adds another 177.97, for a total of 1.1 million.
