Xbox 360 sells 2,246 units in Japan - Punch Jump

Wow..talking about lousy sales...those are REALLY bad...

The Xbox 360 continues to underperform in Japan on strong competition from rival video game offerings like the Nintendo DS Lite, PSP, and PS2.
Media Create Co. on Thursday reported that the Xbox successor sold 2,246 units. By comparison the DS Lite sold near 177,000 units, the PSP 42,600 units, and the PS2 26,400 units.

Xbox 360 software charted three new titles in the top 50 sales, a feat that it has been unable to accomplish in recent weeks.

The console will see even tougher competition in the fourth quarter as Nintendo drops Wii and Sony releases the Playstation 3 to worldwide markets.

Outside of Japan the Xbox 360 has seen brisk sales in the U.S. and Europe. Microsoft has shipped 5M units worldwide and aims to ship 15M by June 2007.
