It's nice to see the system actually selling over there, even though it will only be for one week. I'm counting the days until the 26th when I'll be playing Tales myself. :)

now if they are smart, they'll keep an RPG coming out every month, so they don't all get returned.

I envision they build a giant robot out of 360s then, as it's flying over MS headquarters, it RRODs and crashes smack on top of them.
Wonder if MS makes coffins corporate size? ;)

As of today, the 360 is now officially sold out in Japan.

The apocalypse draws ever closer..... Looks like MS finally found their 'breakthrough title'. I can't wait to see how the FFXIII launch effects the 360's Japanese sales.

yes, all 360s sold out in Japan, it helped that they had only 4 on the shelves, one for backup :)

It probably won't. Unless something changes, the 360 version won't be coming out in Japan. And, even if it does, it'll be months after the PS3 version hits.

Wich is too bad for the few japanese gamers that embrace the console...
