360 sells out in Japan
-
Aug 29, 2006 03:32
Months after a failed launch, at electronics retailer Bic Camera' s bustling Shinjuku store, the Xbox 360 has actually sold out. Granted, we don' t report each time a console sells out, but this, like a solar eclipse, is a historic event! Kotakuite David snapped a photo that states the console is " sold out" , but also notes that the store " DID have the World Cup Limited Edition 360" —understandable as the World Cup is so over. It goes without saying that Japan hasn' t been a walk-in-the-park for Microsoft, but the company has continued to pour endless streams of cash into promoting the machine. Guess those boy band ads are working. Brian Ashcraft Via Kotaku I' m sorry, i thought it was mildly amusing.

That was interesting, but I think I know why they' re not selling. Did you guys see the boy-band ad that was linked to it? It' s no wonder they' re tanking.

I think they should make limited edition 360s just for Japan, maybe have them signed by various artists in the industry like Kojima. And if the japanese still don' t buy them at least someone will import them and MS can say they sold a few in Japan.
