Yes i believe it will. People are saying there are shortages but i have no proof of that |
It's sold out (the X360).
Here's a few posts from the X360 thread '360's sold out in Japan?'
Hello, sorry I hadn't been out to any stores lately which is why I didn't update this.
Anyway, I checked out the two largest stores in my city again earlier today. At the one below(the biggest store) all three models were SOLD OUT. The Red sticker above the big arrow pointing down is the sold out sign. The arrow pointing down means the price went down of course.

お近くに量販店がある方はもうお気づきのことと思うが
先週の値下げ以降、Xbox360の売り場が急拡大している。
ショップによって多少の差はあるものの、平均して2倍から3倍に拡張されており
11月20日に発売予定の「ラスト レムナント」と共に
秋商戦の要と考えているショップも多いようだ。
ちなみに、先週の販売台数は約1.3万台。
拮抗しているPS3を2週続けて上回っている。
"If you have a (I think this is the right translation) large retailer near you, you've probably already noticed, but ever since the price drop last week the Xbox 360 sections have grown tremendously. There are minor differences from store to store, but it appears on average the sections have been expanded 2 to 3 times. With the 11/20 release of 'The Last Remnant' it appears many shops are gearing up for the fall shopping season. Also, the sales last week were 13k. For the 2nd week in row, it has beaten it's rival, the PS3."
And FinalEvangelion's anecdotal report:
I went to some stores around my smallish city of Kumamoto.
The 360s were completely sold out of all three models where I went. MS seems to be having a shortage again. Wiis and PS3s are very well in stock, though.
So with information like that, it falls back on the "What is constraining X360 supply in Japan?" argument: retailers, distributors, Microsoft, or actual production/transportation of the X360.
