Microsoft announcing 'something' in Japan next week

"Microsoft has revealed on the Japanese version of Inside Xbox that it is planning to announce something in the third week of February, which is next week. Microsoft wouldn't comment on the size or the announcement of what the announcement will be about. Rumors are now spreading about multiple things.

It could be that Microsoft is announcing a new bundle for Japan, or a release date for a future game or maybe even a official price cut. It could also be something way smaller than that, considering Microsoft is celebrating the Xbox's 6th birthday in Japan next week. We will just have to wait and see what Microsoft has in store for us and the Japanese gamers."

I'm going with a price cut. Any games would be announced at GDC, most likely.

A price cut + Tales of Verspira exclusivity would be good.

Maybe a ToV, IU, and NG2 bundle? Sony seems to of done well with their 500 bundles last year when the PS3 was really failing in Japan.

However, the BEST news for Japan would be a slim re-design, pricecut and game by June. That'd be killer.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Is it going to be "epic"? or "does it have to erase your memory if they tell you now"?

;),



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

Just to play the spoiler - maybe its their exit from Japan ... but seriously, they really need to focus on reserving the trend big time in the land of the rising son.

500 PS3 bundles... Sarcasm much?
