Massively price-dropped Xbox 360 bundle finally lifts Microsoft's console our of the Japanese doldrums, for now...
Microsoft, it's fair to say, has had a torrid time in trying to get Japanese gamers to buy into all things Xbox. Failing miserably the first time around, the Xbox 360 has also been having a difficult time of things since its launch in December 2005.
However, US-based industry publication Next-Gen is reporting that sales of the Xbox 360 have lifted across Japan quite dramatically, as Microsoft's Blue Dragon bundle went on sale across the country. According to the article, the batch of 10,000 Xbox 360 Blue Dragon bundle have been sold, with a further 90,000 Xbox 360s also passing through the check-out tills.
Whilst the numbers might be something to celebrate in the corridors of Redmond, the fact is that this blip of success has come at a heavy cost: the Blue Dragon Xbox 360 bundle (which comes with other titles and a limited edition faceplate) is available to buy for just 29,800 Yen (£134)...a bit of a bargain then.
We'll have more news shortly...

Blue Dragon is awesome. The combat system is amazing, cinematic and strategic - far better then FFXII. DBZ fans will love the art direction as well.

Im really looking forward to this game and its about time we had a game of this nature on the Xbox 360. Xbox 360 is certainly lacking quality Japanese games....

LMAO! That's expecting WAAAAY too much. That many 360s haven't even been sold in Japan since last year. "Gamers have been spoiled by MS in Japan" No they haven't, Sony and Nintendo spoils them, MS gives them one crappy game and thinks it can stop the 360 sinking ship.

gamers have been spoiled by micrsoft in japan, I wonder if Australia and NZ snubbed microsoft, would we get games made specifically fr us, and a heavily discounted console as well to go with it?

Interesting but the Japanese people demand more though, one game cannot satify the interest of many for prolong time. They need more.
