Forums - Microsoft Discussion - 360's sold out in Japan? (pics)

Just wanted to update this for anybody still interested. I checked out the stores again last week and this week. (I went to pre-order Infinite Undiscovery, because the pre-order comes with the dl code for a special item and a special "SQUARE ENIX × Xbox360 Sound Collections" CD w/songs from IU, Last Remnant and SO4, sweet!)

Anyway, last week they were still all sold out of 360's, but this week(yesterday) there were some Arcade 360's in stock!

Still all sold out at this other big store though.

Good to see that a few units are available here and there.

Keep us up to date on how stock gets re-supplied in the near future.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

even when sold out in japan, the 360 falls behind the Power of the PS3



^ well yeah, because they're sold out...



Nice for MS they could use some good press in Japan



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

Ok just an update: Today is 9/11 the price cut/60gb 360 intro. (IU release as well, as I picked up my copy today )

Anyway, I went into the same stores shown above and they had 360's! Though in one the Arcade was sold out(you can see the red sticker in the corner of the Arcade).

The other store wasn't sold out, but going by the "cards" that they have(which you take up to the register) they had only 1 Arcade 360 as well as 2 Elites and a couple of 60gb 360's.

So it looks like the shortage is pretty much over and hopefully the 360 has a much bigger boost after last weeks ~1K sell through, hahaha.

Best post in the topic.


OT: Too bad we don't know if the 360 is sold out again or MS just didn't stock alot. We'll know next week I guess.



X360 has sold out in 4 stores and you are trying to say it has sold out in the whole of Japan? I just do not buy this story at all.

I remember you from the thread in the Games forum about your trip to PAX and some people thinking that you're biased towards the PS3 (I had some reservations but I gave you the benefit of the doubt and said nothing).  Well posts like the one you made in this thread make the claims against you much more convincing.  I now take everything you said about the games at PAX with a huge grain of salt.
