If you visited Japan lately, you would know that x360 is generally not longer having any visible store space in the electronic shops. Only must-have x360 games can make any serious inpact on the japanese market, a small price drop will not.

I don't know what stores you've been visiting (or where), but at most of the stores that I check out, the 360 has roughly about the same amount of space as the PS3. It's usually the DS and still kind of the PS2 with the most space. Wii space is just a bit under those. DS usually has the most space.

Anyway, hopefully the arcade pack can stimulate sales a bit.

 I'll have to go with you, smbu2000, on this one. The store I usually go to doesn't exactly have the same space. I'd say the PS3 is maybe 1.75x the size of the 360 section, but even then, both are still not really big. Maybe I'll go some time in the next few days to do my looking around and checking what used games are available for cheap. While I'm there, I may try to get a more accurate measurement if you'd like.

Though I may have to go with boycop for that it may not have that much impact. I remember commenting on a thread about the 360 in Japan before that the people I've talked to have an image of the 360 as being a shoooter and American game system still. When I asked what games they were interested in on the PS3 and gave them suggestions of possible 360 games based on what they like, they were like, "Oh yeah. Those games seem good too." But I don't think it will hurt anything, and any increase can be good.
