During all these years there has been small and some moments when an Xbox managed to stand out in JapanAlthough their last successes were more with Xbox 360, with Xbox One Microsoft pretty much forgot about that market and with it they had the worst results for an Xbox in the country.
Now, it definitely seems like with Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X that has changed.

Japanese gamers showed their preference for Xbox Series S over Xbox Series X. The digital console garnered a total of 227,000 units Sold by 173,000 unitss of the Xbox Series X. It is recalled that throughout its life, the Xbox One barely exceeded 140,000 consoles sold in the country, something really disappointing for a new console.
