Famitsu has shared the sales data for the Xbox consoles in Japan including a list of the best-selling software that includes all major exclusives.
Xbox never had a lot of luck with selling well in Japan. While Microsoft managed to do well with the X360, it was still a far cry compared to the other consoles in the market. The OG XB didn’t fare that well in Japan either despite the support of Japanese developers, while the XB1 just failed out of the gate.
