Xbox 360 Launch: Success or Mess?

[Paco]

I wonder if Microsoft still expects to sell one million in Japan by the summer? Judging by the launch I'd say that's a really tall order. I think that it's entirely possible considering that Dead or Alive 3 went on to sell over 200,000 units in Japan on the original Xbox. A few more Japanese-centric games from acclaimed developers could make the 360 a success (not a Playstation or Nintendo success over there, but not a Xbox like disaster). Then again, the PS3 is supposedly due in March or April over there and I have every reason to believe it will hurt MS quite a bit. It'll be interesting.
