I'm not really surprised, Xbox360 is a good seller everywhere but Japan which clings to the Nintendo and Sony consoles really.

Microsoft has been trying to set foot in Japan ever since the old Xbox came, without any success.
Japan is one of the biggest game markets in the world, so yea they are getting a bit desperate since they aren't getting a real big share from that market.

*Bump and shameless double post*

I read in the newspaper that around the end of this month the Xbox is getting a pricecut in Europe and the US as well.
They plan to be going under the price of a Wii with the basic versions.

Good. Because the Wii is failure just like the 360. Well the 360 has more games I like, so let's at least _TRY_ to be fair to microsoft heh

If it's the version with no hard drive, then it's pointless anyway. I won't buy one without a hard drive, it's like buying a computer with a drive just big enough for the OS...
OMFG! 8 75+!!!! :shock: Who knew slackers could work so hard? D:
And now a Miqo'te as well. >=D

Total derail: GM is going to a Microsoft operating system on all their cars for the '09 models. And to quote a meme from the '50s, "What's good for General Motors is good for the USA."
