Maybe if MS hired mercaneries to shoot potential Wii customers on sight.

In real life if a number of factors goes MS's way i couldn't deny the possibility of stickball being correct but any benefit these factors will have will be short lived.

the XBOX brand just doesn't apeal to the japanese customer , Microsoft need to completley re-evaluate their promotion of the XBOX brand because what ever they are doing it just simply isn't working , games and price point aren't making a whole lot of difference.

I'm not arguing that we're going to magically see the X360 outsell the Wii or PS3 for any week but this one....It may get a few weeks to lead the PS3, but not very long.

It's more of a question of "Could Microsoft have brewed the perfect storm in Japan for a week?"...Best case scenario, the X360 beats the Wii and PS3 out, gets positive publicity, and goes on to sell better than it has in Japan, ever, but still trails well behind the PS3 for the rest of its life. Again, BEST case scenario. We all know how bad the X360 has done in Japan, and there's no way to spin 700,000 units sold vs. the PS3 at 2.3m in a years' less timespan.

 



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
