So the 360 is supply constrained in Japan, and Microsoft cuts the price? Poor marketing or is someone not being truthful?

 To inform you, the 360 will have a big shipment on 11th. Seems M$ need to make sure they send more 360's to Japan regularly now. Seems to me Price cut is in tie with the big shipment.

Thanks for the information.  The 360 moved 860 units in Japan last week.  I hope that shipment isn't too big.

It seems that it's a large shipment - Microsoft has had 3 weeks to send new units to Japan. Why do you hope the shipment isn't too big? Afraid that it may start selling well, and beat out the inferior PS3?

 

superior ps3!

the only way for microsoft to get rid of stagnant demand for its console is to reduce the price.

nice mod-troll
