siento chafar la fiesta pero eso es el tipico pr bullshit de las declaraciones oficiales de ms
Las fotos son de las fiestas preparadas donde la gente va mas a pillar cacho y a ver los grupillos que tocan o los que promocionan que a comprar nada
El lanzaminento de verdad..el de las tiendas esta siendo un desastre

Queues formed for its main launch event in Tokyo but early sales were reported to be slower than at other launches. One senior store official told AFP the customer reaction had been somewhat "subdued", with fewer than 50 consoles sold in the first two hours.

The Xbox 360 has landed in Japan. Today, Microsoft’s next –gen gaming console has finally been released in Sony’s and Nintendo’s arena, and the Japanese gamers… did nothing.
Well, not nothing, but according to several Japanese press sources, the reaction to the Xbox 360 was far from what Microsoft might have expected ,solding only 30.000 units in day one.
According to AFP, a survey at several major retailers pointed out the fact that sales were much slower than they had been in Europe or the United States, and one retailer in Tokyo even said that he had sold less than 50 consoles in the first two hours.
There are several factors that could explain Microsoft’s relative sales failure in the first day after the launch. First of all, it’s quite clear that the Japanese gamers prefer something built by one of their home companies (let’s call it a question of national pride), but there is also a flaw in Microsoft’s marketing strategy. Thus, RPGs and action games are much more popular than the FPSs in Japan, and Microsoft had almost no game of this type in its initial line-up.
What’s even worse for Microsoft is that the Japanese haven’t been impressed with the special favor granted to them. They’re getting only the premium version, but at only 39,795 yen ($330 USD), significantly cheaper than the price it is offered anywhere else in the world.
Microsoft has decided to keep everything under raps, and I’m pretty sure that information on the real success of the Xbox 360 on Sony’s turf will be rather scarce. Probably because there won’t be a success to talk about?
Los reporteros de 1up en japon dicen lo mismo,las tiendas desiertas,mas personal de ms japon que compradores,etc etc
y la xbox en el dia de salida en japon vendio unas 250.000 consolas ( recordemos que estaba el doa 3 una saga medianamente popular) asi que no nos flipemos diciendo que ha vendido el triple que la primera
a mi todo lo de ms japon me parece vergonzoso,les dejan la consola a 300 euros o menos,les hacen promociones,regalos,mega presentaciones y aun asi venden una mierda,estanterias llenas de cables vga,y aqui ni cojones de encontrar uno,desde luego que microsoft hace maquinas cojonudas y la 360 me maravilla y me encanta,pero no tienen ni pajolera idea de vender
