Ceemji Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 10 months after launch, but they did it. They sold all the X360's of one store! Now how many stores left? lol, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe cause of the price Japan maybe thought to use the 360 to play nex gen games?

Pc_Madness Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Yeah, I have my doubts. Bring on the sales figures. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaPrime Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Wow, at one store in Japan they sold out, which probably had like 3 left anyway. Heck, my local Kmart sold out of GameCubes, bring out the champagne!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys took the words right out of my mouth! (yes I say everything out loud that I'm typing :p) I hope nobody's too disappointed when next week's figures are released. That'd be amazing if there was some kind of unexplicable boost in sales, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme $niper Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 They probably stopped ordering new units and sold out of what they had in stock... On a side note, if this really is a sign of good times in Japan for Microsoft then that's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted August 31, 2006 Veteran Share Posted August 31, 2006 I was just watching some of the Japanese Xbox 360 ads and a few of them are incredibly long. I guess their ad-campaign is finally working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted August 31, 2006 Veteran Share Posted August 31, 2006 ^ It's over at the Xbox 360 page on gametrailers.com, check out the Japanese TV Spots and the Japanese Promo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novaoblivion Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 (edited) When I was there in June no one besides me even looked at the Xbox 360's lol, I wonder if they just didnt order anymore and finally ran out? Edit: having seen the commercials no wonder it didnt sell lol, they were no where near as crazy/cool as a lot of commercials on Japanese TV.

AlphaPrime Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...#entry587837557 360 this week - 1,197 360 last week - 1,493 It sold 300 less. So much for that. I wonder how long that 'Sold out' sticker has actually been on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magik Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 ^ I was under the impression that there was a time delay in sales reports... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaPrime Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 ^ I was under the impression that there was a time delay in sales reports... ? There is, by a few days. But the photo would have been taken in the same week as the current figures (there's also the high possibility that that sticker had been there for days or even weeks). Also that store still had stock of the 'World Cup Limited Edition 360', so it's just not really news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnerhkjp Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 TV ads for the 360 in Japan su-cks. And it doesn't air nearly enough. Its almost like MS is not interested in selling the console in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 wait until the japanese sales numbers are released.. right here on neowin :) sorry but looks like i was right.... :whistle: sales went DOWN by 300 :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnast Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 ^ I didn't doubt you. ;) There was nothing released recently in Japan that I know of that would even cause a small spike in sales, lol. The only game I expect to even cause a mini-explosion is Blue Dragon. Other than that game or some surprise hit, if sales increase I expect it to be gradually.

stezo2k Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Its nice to see the 360 a bit more popular in japan but I think it still has a way to go tbh If a few more RPG games or more big japanese developed games come out they might stand a bigger chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
