Got to agree with the others that there's no way the 360 will make 1million in 2008. I think M$ should just pull out of Japan and focus on their flagging sales in Europe. (Between Sony and Nintendo, especially nintendo, M$ is dead in Japan)

Yeah, and they should just roll over and just give up the whole console thing...

Seriously why even bother if they're not going to be #1..

Oh, and they should have a massive recall and exchange every 360 for a PS3

/sarcasm

Hey, I'd "trade in" my 360 for a PS3.......

 

Then sell it and buy a 360 Elite!

 

Anyway, what do people think about the upcoming week of 360 HW sales in JP? Will they go up significantly maybe +10K, or so for the release of DMC4 as a result of the 360/DMC4 hardware bundle? Seems like a pretty good deal if you want DMC4 and don't have a 360. The game itself costs about 8000 yen(MSRP), which is pretty expensive, though I have seen it for a little less. Buying the bundle is about the same price as buying a 360 system new and getting dmc for just under 4000 yen. Pretty good deal.

I was going to buy the game, but I just picked up Lost Odyssey this week (finally!!!), so I'm currently playing that. (should add +1 to the JP sales for the game, at least )
