XBox has a slow start in Japan

1 April 2002 9:54 by Lasse "cd-rw.org" Penttinen

Bloomberg have picked up on what we all suspected already, reporting that the Xbox has fallen short of its sales targets in both Europe and Japan. Sales in Japan slumped to around 10,000 units a week by its third week on sale there, meaning that the initial shipment of 250,000 Xboxes which were sent to Japan on February 22nd almost certainly haven't all been sold yet, a month on from the console's launch. And while European numbers still aren't being given out, it is obvious that things haven't gone as well as Microsoft had hoped in many countries on this side of the pond.
