Xbox One Japanese Launch Marathon Loved by its Audience: Over 84% Positive Feedback

The Xbox One has finally launched in Japan, and while it didn’t exactly push Japanese gamers to line up in front of the stores, its 24 hour-long launch marathon was appreciated by its almost 237,000 viewers.

Nico Nico has a rating system that prompts viewers to vote on whether they liked a broadcast or not, and the results were as follows:

It was very good: 72.5%

It was pretty good: 11.6%

It was average: 7.1%

It wasn’t very good: 1.9%

It was bad: 6.8%

That sums up to a 84.1% of positive feedback, which is definitely a good result for a brand like Xbox, which isn’t universally loved in Japan. The stream was definitely quite fun, and at times even a bit goofy, but its audience appreciated the effort and content.

In comparison the launch event for the PS4 back in February achieved similar results, earning an 87.8% positive feedback.

It’ll be interesting to see on Wednesday with the Media Create charts if the appreciation for the event turned into actual sales.
