While the official release date for the Xbox One has finally arrived in Japan, it seems that the launch is somehow a monumental flop for Microsoft.
Several photos shared on Twitter shows the total lack of interest for the Xbox One, while the most popular stores are indeed ready to welcome buyers wanting the new console, but the buyers are not at the rendezvous.
Yodobashi Camera and Sofmap stores are among the most popular stores to get the new game consoles during their release. They are accustomed to the launch events and they have provided a location to accommodate waiting buyers, but just two hours before the opening, the places are a no man's land.

Finally, a few minutes before the opening, 7 braves fellows shows up... A significant contrast with the launch of the PlayStation 4 a couple months ago.
