As reported byFamitsu (http://www.famitsu.com/news/201411/28066711.html), a Japanese publication which focuses on video games, Head of Xbox JapanTakashi Sensui (http://www.microsoft.com/ja-jp/news/exec/tsensui/default.aspx) decided to step down following dismal sales of Microsoft's latest console in that country. So far, the Xbox One (http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/20/microsoft-xbox-one-review/) has only managed to shift less than 39,000 units since launch (http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/22/xbox-one-japanese-release-date/), of which around 24,000 were sold within the first few days of being available. Sony, on the other hand, managed to sell roughly 322,000PlayStation 4s (http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/14/sony-playstation-4-review/) during the first few days of its debut in Japan (http://www.engadget.com/2014/02/25/playstation-4-japan-sales/).
