Japanese Sales Chart: Xbox One Launches to Less Than Half of What the Xbox 360 Did

It doesn’t appear as though the Xbox’s fortunes will be reversed in Japan, as launch sales for the Xbox One were around 25,600, according to Media Create (Famitsu says it was around 23,500). Comparing this to other systems at their launch, the Xbox 360 moved 62,000, the PlayStation 4 309,000, and the Wii U 308,000.

Over in software, Yokai Watch 2 is back at the top with 63,400 sold, while Dragon Quest X Online debuted in 2nd with over 52,000 in sales. As for the Xbox One launch titles, Titanfall was the best at nearly 9,000, Dead Rising 3 was next at 7,700, and Forza 5 rounded out the top with nearly 6,000 (note: Famitsu’s sales numbers differ quite a bit from Media Create, saying Titanfall moved 22,416 and Kinect Sports Rivals sold 14,191).

Here’s how each system sold, along with the top 20 selling retail games in Japan between September 1 and September 7, 2014, according to Media Create:
