Japanese analysts on X360 [UPDATE:They were right]

[Lord Nepenthean]

Here are some official numbers.  This is so bad that I can't help but laugh (both because it is funny and out of pity).

Numbers released by Media Create indicate that since its launch on December 10, the Xbox 360 has sold 41,817 units in the first two days, or 28% of the total amount. This is considerably worse than Microsoft's launch of the original Xbox, which sold about 122,000 units during the three days following its February 22, 2002 launch in Japan. Each Xbox 360 sells for 37,900 yen (~$316), excluding tax, and comes with a 20 GB external hard drive.

Fuck yeah....... :pissed:

Screw them if they dont want to buy a system that has some power. The games will come, YES THEY WILL!!!!

For the record more power doesn't equal better games.

Now where is my O2 Type & Tell

sigh.......



You know, a few years ago if a system did not sell well in Japan, it would mean bad things. But not today.......

Sales in the U.S. / Canada and Europe are enough.  

Thats all I gotta say

I doubt that sales in Europe are enough - we didn't get enough to be able to have enough sales at all.

And the main indicator for a hit or flop to me is ebay. And the X360 is nothing like a hit there.

Surprisingly to myself, it is the first video game console ever that did not draw any of my attention.

I agree, the x360 didn't do much for me either.  Mostly b/c I wasn't going to pay big$$$ for it!
