For the boost in Xbox sales there is a deal going on with the Xbox Series S. Though, doesn't explain the boost in Series X, so much be better stock for that console. Xbox Series S includes a 4,000 yen gift card. https://news.xbox.com/ja-jp/2023/06/13/xbox-series-s-512-gb-4000-campaign/

Didn't Microsoft just announced a price increase for the Xbox Series X ? Might have something to do with. Unless this wasn't targeting the Japanese market this time.

Japan is one of the few places not seeing a price increase in the Xbox Series X. Though, the Xbox Series X and S did see an increase in Japan in February. Series X price increased from 54,978 yen to 59,978 yen, while Series S increased from 32,278 yen to 37,978 yen.
