Microsoft sure seems desperate to get the Xbox One into the hands of consumers, so much so that they have resorted to calling it a 4K Blu-ray player first and video game device second, in Japan. Here are some pictures taken by YouTuber Gaijin Hunter, as seen at a major electronics store in Japan.
The text at the top says, “Super Cheap” and “Recommended”, while at the bottom it claims, “If it’s Xbox One S, you can also play video games.”
It also seems like a few people have actually taken the deal, since it really is a really cheap Blu-ray device. Folks have bought it to watch anime and also as a Blu-ray player for their 4K TVs.
Ah well, I really hope that the Xbox One X doesn’t end up in a similar state down the line.
