You say one game can' t make a difference? I say fuck you, you' re an idiot!

NEXT-GEN.BIZ

It might not be completely sold out but it' s close, and it hasn' t been on sale for a full week yet. Expect similar sales from games like Lost Odyssey and Trusty Bell.

100 000 is nothing, thats like the population of a city block in Japan. PS3 or Wii will sell that many the first minute they are released.

It' s something for 360. How many units have they been selling per week for the past year, less than 2000?!

Microsoft needs to keep offering sweet ass bundles like this, they may have just found their opening! No gaurantee as to how long they' ll be able to sustain such a thing, but they should definitely take advantage of it more often!!!

Wow, I' m sorry I doubted Microsoft. It' s not a huge amount in the big scale of things, but putting it in perspective, that' s a quarter of the U.S. PS3 launch.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Good because with you not on Live i haven' t been playing. Are you getting Splinter Cell, or waiting for Gears of War and Rainbow Six?


that' s a quarter of the U.S. PS3 launch.


Worldwide, but Sony are launching with 100,000 units in Japan. There will be more 360' s than PS3' s in Japanese homes this christmas. It won' t last long at all, but it' s somthing.

100K is a sad number.

Oh, its 360 in Japan?!? Damnit, get Mr. Bush on the phone, tell him Satan has arisen and the final battle of time is about to take place. " Your Poet Elliot had it all wrong. This, is the way the world ends."
I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

Good for microsoft.

However the bigger question is does the 360 have enough future games (that appeal Japanese gamers) to maintain this momentum or is this the peak of 360s success? And will this continue when the ps3 and Wii are launched?

Holy...

Dammit, I should try for that bundle! Too bad only the locally produced NTSC/J Blue Dragon game in Singapore would have English subtitles

Right now, MS MUST MARKET BLUE DRAGON LIKE NEVER BEFORE!

Milk the cow, MS, MILK IT!
