Tomorrow's Xbox 360 Japanese Launch

Posted by Zonk on from the not-going-to-be-any-shortage-problems-there dept.

rAiNsT0rm writes "The BBC has a great story covering the looming Xbox 360 launch in Japan tomorrow." Next Generation is reporting that, while there are no firm numbers yet, the 360 likely sold about 320,000 units in its first week on the retail shelf. From the BBC article: "Pre-orders on the internet look solid, but I don't think the retail stores will sell out of Xbox 360s in the first day ... Serious game fans will likely rush to buy them, but I think most people are going to wait and see."

    Yea, the good news is, after the the Xbox 360 launch fails miserably in Japan. I can import hundred of Japanese 360's (with Final Fantasy XI preinstalled), and make a fortune on EBay. Of course the unsuspecting buyers will have to . . . err . . . import all of there games from Japan as well, but a small price to pay for 4x full scene anti-aliasing.
