No kidding. It also proves that with the right software, the 360 can actually move some units. I'm actually quite surprised.

Let's put it in perspective - it's a Japanese Xbox fan's Livejournal, but it's still brilliant news for Xbox in Japan.

I would say the Xbox 360 is now bigger in Japan than the DS Lite, Brain Training, Nintendogs, Pokemon, and Dragon Quest combined.

100,000? Not like... 10,000?

Wasn't the 360 doing well to move like 8K hardware units in an entire month?

Wow, impressive. I can definitely see the system picking up steam around the release of big titles.

The fact that the 360 is even cheaper in Japan than it is in the US and that the PS3 is open price might help out the system a lot.

Seems a biiiiit suspect.

That means that the 360, in greater quantity, sold out faster than the PS3 preorders...which I read took about 20 minutes.

Ummm..... did you really read the blog entry?

It says that he heard that somewhere on the net, they started preorders for the blue dragon bundle... he only heard that it was sold out in 5 mins, he didn't even put down a number, it could have been only 10 units for all we know.

It's a pretty far reach if you want to use this blog entry as proof that 360 is selling, we don't know if it's true, or which store, or even how many units....

This is true. How many PS3s did Amazon sell in 30 minutes?

Not really... it sold out in 5 minutes. That's pretty fast, even if they only have 10.

Hahah yeah I guess... even if it's true.

Also, the thread title is hugely misleading.

There are the first limited run of the Blue Dragon Premium bundle, and the normal Blue Dragon Premium bundle.

A good search on rakuten, which is where i-degi is is linked from, shows that the normal Blue Dragon Premium bundle is not sold out at all.

Who knows how many of the first limited run is there.... 1000?

of course I was, do you think I'm some kind of MS fanass or something? The PS3 is going to kill the 360 in japan at least a 100 to 1 and I'm not joking.

Well, at the very least, it is a pulse and at this point Microsoft will take what it can for Japan at this point.

That's why I said ltd bundle, and I tried to make it even more clear in the OP.

100,000 bundles, 10% of which will include the faceplate. i.e. 10,000 faceplate bundles.
