Xbox 360: Two Day Japanese Sales Figures Released News
Jon Wilcox
13/12/2005
Global financial news outlet reports on preliminary figures of Xbox 360 sales in Japan...
Despite it being very early days, it seems that the Xbox 360 isn't quite off to the sort of start that Peter Moore, J Allard and Robbie Bach would have hoped if preliminary sales figures from Japan are correct. Financial news organisation Bloomberg have reported figures from market researcher Enterbrain Inc. that up to 62,135 units were sold in the first two days - compared to the original Xbox which sold 123,000 units in the first three days. The figure equates to approximately 39% of the total number of Xbox 360 units made available in Japan and is a far cry from the sell outs experienced in the West.
If those figures sound a little weak, then a separate report from Media Center Pro will merely darken the day of the Xbox trinity further with their preliminary report (again on Bloomberg) that 41,817 units were sold.
The lack of key titles at launch such as Ninety-Nine Nights and Dead or Alive 4 will have harmed the Xbox 360's launch in the Far East, and a bump would have been expected by Microsoft, but the figures may be a little than anticipated. However, the line-up is sure to improve before the planned launch of PlayStation3 in Spring 2006 - at least that's what Microsoft will be hoping.
We'll have further news shortly...
