The Xbox has never sold well in Japan, but I don't think anyone thought things were this crazy! Apparently, a major retailer has started advertising the Xbox One S as a "Cheap Ultra HD Blu Ray Player," in an effort to boost sales of the product.

Yes, sales of the Xbox One are THAT bad in Japan. Last week the console only sold 63 units, and some of those people likely only did it to watch movies! Meanwhile, the Switch just cleared 1.5 million in sales and the PS4 is just as popular as always. I guess Japan isn't a fan of Minecraft?
