[News] XBox Fails in Japan

Game Boy Micro Trumps Xbox 360

,----[ Quote ]
| Despite offering exclusive games from Japanese developers and
| multiple 360 pack-in bonuses, the new Xbox console is having
| difficulty gaining traction in the Land of the Rising Sun.
| 
| According to a Famitsu Marketing data survey, 113,000 Xbox 360
| units have been sold in Japan this year. Over the past 11 months,
| Sony has sold 1.4 million PS2s. The new releases of PS3 and Wii
| have already trumped Xbox 360 yearly sales in just a handful of
| weeks. Even the Game Boy Micro, a niche collectible, managed to
| sell 150,000 units this year. To be fair, Xbox 360 outsold
| GameCube in 2006 as Nintendo's now-defunct console sold under
| 100,000 units.
