XBOX 360 Takes A Big Chunky Diarreah SHIT In Japan

Glad to see Bill doesn't have the WHOLE fucking world sewn up yet I wonder how long until these systems get over here to the US? I wonder if this is a loyalty to Sony play by the Japanese? Anyways, here is the story:

TOKYO, Japan (AP) -- Microsoft Corp.'s new Xbox 360 video game console got a lukewarm welcome in Japan on its debut weekend with fans buying fewer than half the games available in stores, a market researcher said Tuesday.

Microsoft, which started selling the Xbox 360 in Japan on Saturday, is trying to break into the world's second-largest video game market and challenge the longtime dominance of Sony Corp.'s PlayStation.

Microsoft sold 62,135 machines over the weekend, or just 39 percent of the 159,000 consoles it is estimated to have shipped to stores, according to data from market researcher Enterbrain Inc.

And here is the rest if you care to read it...
