Japan Will Have To Wait For Xbox

Posted by timothy on from the ebay-plus-shipping-equals-profit dept.

securitas contributed a link to this New York Times article which indicates a delay in the Japanese release of the Xbox. "MS insists it's going to meet its Nov. 8 North American release date. I'll believe it when I see it. Also, Namco has signed on to produce 4 games for Xbox including 2 exclusives." Ledge adds a link to this AP story carried by Fox News as well: upshot is that units won't go on sale in Japan till Feb. 22. (A chart comparing announced vs. actual dates for all the consoles would be interesting, since they all seem to be delayed.)

    Why hasn't this been modded down? Is it because the moderators are dumb-ass Linux weenies who think "Microsoft - bad - four legs - good"?

    Watch this post get modded down faster than the idiotic parent.
