360 sells out in Japan

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

I' m sorry, i thought it was mildly amusing.

lol, The question is, Will that store bother reordering more stock?

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.

I think the japs would look down on however signed a 360.

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!
