Japan's Xbox One Launch Looks Sad As You'd Expect
Today, the Xbox One finally went on sale in Japan. The launch looked rather depressing. But maybe you saw that coming, right?
Granted, these days, it's really hard to tell how hardware does. People can order stuff online, so there isn't the same emphasis on launch lines, like as in the past. That being said, if there are lots of people waiting for something—say, Yokai Watch toys—then it's possible to make a popularity assumption. But that is exactly what it is: an assumption.
Still, the Xbox One launch in Japan looks like a total downer. I'm sure there are Japanese gamers excited to get it, and a few people did appear to line up for the console. But, man, these photos circulating online do not look good for the Xbox One's chances in Japan.
Note that today is September 4 in Japan.
As Japanese game site Inside pointed out, Xbox Japan held a special mid-night launch countdown event. Everyone seems so excited counting down to today.

lol. Yea. And its one thing to champion sales when the console actually has games. The Wii had Wii Sports, Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3 and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess all in its first year.
PS4 has no games.

XBOX ONE GETTING CUSTOMIZABLE THEMES, BACKGROUND PICS AND SCREENSHOTS
Spencer gets beat up on screenshots.
Microsoft is working on introducing customizable themes, background pics and the ability to take in-game screenshots to the Xbox One, head of Xbox and Microsoft Game Studios Phil Spencer confirmed.
“I was told themes and background pics are something that we are working on and screenshots, you know people beat me up on screenshots,” Spencer said on a recent Inner Circle podcast episode. “The team has done a great job with the monthly updates, some of the things are just a prioritization and are a time in development.
"But I know that people like to customize the look of their dash," he added. "And I think both themes, backgrounds and screenshots are things I know people want so we are going to deliver on them. But we can’t give a when yet.”
A Microsoft spokesperson told IGN that the features will be rolled out in future monthly updates.
"We’ve been carefully listening to your feedback and look forward to delivering many of those features and more as part of our regular Xbox One system updates," the statement reads. "We look forward to sharing more details in the future.”
Microsoft has been rolling out monthly updates to the Xbox One, with each iteration introducing new features, changes and bug fixes to the system. For instance, the console received updates to the activity feed, profiles, new media app, the capability of playing 3D Blu-rays, the Snap Mode ability for achievements and more voice control commands. You can find out more about the new-generation system and its updates on our ever-expanding Xbox One Wiki.
Thanks, Xbox Mad.

From Gamespot:
Xbox One Gets $50 Price Cut for the Holidays
[UPDATE] Discount applies to all versions of the console, including Assassin's Creed Unity and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare bundles; Deal not available in UK, Microsoft confirms
=32
If you're in the market for an Xbox One, you may want to wait until this weekend to buy a system. Confirming an earlier rumor, Microsoft announced today that it is cutting the console's price by $50 effective November 2.
The limited-time promotional offer (valid in the United States only) applies to any Xbox One console. This means you can get the Kinect free system for $350 or the standard Kinect bundle for $450.
The price cut also applies to special edition bundles, including those that include Assassin's Creed Unity, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (which also comes with a 1TB hard drive), and Sunset Overdrive.
Here's a breakdown of the deal.
-Kinect-free Xbox One -- $350
-Xbox One With Kinect -- $450
-Xbox One Assassin's Creed Bundle Without Kinect (comes with copies of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Unity) -- $350
-Xbox One Assassin's Creed Bundle With Kinect (comes with copies of Black Flag, Unity, and Dance Central Spotlight) -- $450
-Xbox One Sunset Overdrive Bundle (comes with game, white console, white controller) -- $350
Notably, when the special Xbox One deal goes into effect, it will make Microsoft's console less expensive than the rival PlayStation 4, which sells for $400.
The promotion--valid through January 3, 2015--will be available across the United States at most major retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Microsoft Stores, Target, Toys 'R Us, and Wal-Mart.
