I saw this on my Twitter timeline earlier. I don't understand it, but it's my favourite.

That probably is misterXmedia running to be the first to get an Xbox one

If Russian mail order brides look like her, I may be getting a divorce.

Is 15K supposed to be good or terrible? I really don't know.

Super bad? Russia counts around 143.6 Mio people. Even if we only count those able to buy one....

 

[Manp]

 

[JetSetRadio]

They did one thing right.

 

[Hesemonni]

I guess its fair to say the console wars have been settled once and for all.

God damn, Russian women are either drop dead gorgeous or haggard babushka types. Seems like there's no in between.

But yeah, $536 seems excessive. Anyone know how did the 360 did in Russia?

There's no "pre-order culture" in Russia, these numbers don't mean anything

Looks like they figured out how to draw a crowd. MS needs to hire her immediately as their official business model.

[speculawyer]

So the poor people have to pay more for their food due to sanctions but the kids of oligarchs still get their toys. Plutocracy.

Thanks, Putin.

[L.O.R.D]

even the lines from Saudi arabia and UAE is bigger then japan
they should focus more on middle east

As far as I understand local console market it's rather "raw" here, in Russia. There are about 50k of enthusiasts who buys everything they can get + about same amount of xbots/sonyboys/nintendowhatever, who prefers one brand (or abhors the other, as yours truly).

There are lots of extra money on the hands right now, so price is not the issue, but, unless there'll be some killer console exclusives, I doubt sales would go beyond 100k total for any console. Kids want tablets and grown ups used to play pirated copies on PC. There's almost no advertisement of either brand, most of the games aren't localized (I'm looking at you, Nintendo), no rental shops, no Netflix, no Music Unlimited, etc.

I think things will change with maturing market, but not on this generation.

[BrokenEchelon]

God damn, girl.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

My dream is to marry a Russian woman.

me too

how much money do I need to make them attracted to me?

 

[Mr White]

Well, 15k Xbox pre-orders is a lot for Russia. People here play games on PC (mostly pirated) and Playstation brand is much stronger than Xbox. Tried to change my region to Russia. Marketplace is complete joke. Prices just too high, and there no video or music section and almost no apps. Switched back to US

 

[Opiate]

Are you basing that on volume comparison to other console launches? I'm not especially familiar with the market, but that seems like the most reasonable way to answer the question of how successful this is for pre-orders.

Yes.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

Who is that? It is not Major Nelson or Mattrick .. . it is . . ?

Uhh, that's Phil Spencer's face. As in, Lord Phil, the Xboss, P Spizzle, etc

 

[Gestault]

Yes.

Do you have any of those in easy reach? I meant to sort of ask for reference points for the sake of the thread.

 

[marianitten]

Where's misterxmedia on those pictures?

He is busy doing serious journalism...

Be aware of lie and brainwash of Sony propaganda since 2005. They will fight till the end. Over promise and under deliver. 1.8Tf console(PS4) is still 1.8Tf console while top GPUa are 5-6TFs. They often show CGI first and downgrade later. Don't believe Sony trailers as real until actual gameplay to be seen. Sony constantly use this trick.

Also their other tricks are specific game design only PlayStation exclusives use:
- narrow corridor games with low draw distance(Uncharted, God Of War, Last of Us), That all need less power for the system to render.
- open-world games with low draw distance(InFamous).
- games with static cameras(Beyond, Heavy Rain).
- less objects and details on screen to render (GT5).

All thous tricks need 30-40% less power to render. Comparable Xbox 360 games look much better. Compare for example Uncharted which consist 95% of corridor levels and some of Halo 4 corridor levels. Night and Day.

Dat explains the Phil Spencer's effect...

[BigDug13]

Is this a flashmob or is it a fake "we're all running to get our XBO" pose? Because none of that looks like actual running, but maybe it's flashmob dancing?

edit - as I look more at it, it's definitely some sort of dance.

I expect more than 100k, especially for PS4

For example, Sony's consoles sales in Russia (as of 2011):

PS3 - 600k
PSP - 1.5 million
PS2 - 1.1 million

Russian women are just... just the best.

Also congrats to Microsoft for launching in Russia... That's what the thread's about, right?
