Xbox 360 sold out in Japan

Granted, Microsoft isn't exactly pumping units into Japan, but even this sudden surge in demand has knocked the console manufacturer square off its feet. A statement on the Japanese Xbox.com (clumsy translation) explains that new shipments of the standard model won't arrive at retail until September, followed by shipments of the Elite and Arcade SKUs sometime later. But by then, pigs may have landed and Hell could be all thawed out.

Holy f*cking sh*t! I don't believe it - it seems Pikachu isn't yellow anymore.
Jakka @ Aug 20th 2008 2:44PM
He's still yellow, you're just hyper again.
The_Punisher @ Aug 20th 2008 2:44PM

Jakka @ Aug 20th 2008 2:51PM
That's a German Shepard-Wolf-Thing...anyyyway I was to busy looking at that hot chick.
Duke @ Aug 20th 2008 2:53PM
It was just a joke...since it looks like a Pikachu when you glance at it.

you mean the cartoon polygonal girl thats like 13 years old?
The_Punisher @ Aug 20th 2008 3:04PM
I'm just hoping the game is good. I need a good JRPG, and the demo of this BLEW. The characters weren't believeable, and the combat was pretty basic.
jimmygotsmack @ Aug 20th 2008 3:19PM
Aren't they both women?
Jakka @ Aug 20th 2008 3:59PM

"you mean the cartoon polygonal girl thats like 13 years old?"
In anime years (kinda like dog years) she is probably in her mid twenties. Somehow anime kids seem to be veterans and have 'pasts' when they are only '14' or whatever.

UPS coffins to Japan FTW!!!!

Miscrosoft needs to restock immediatly... according to the Famitsu numbers released today, the 360 dropped from 24,000 to 7,000, mainly due to shortages.
And Tales of Vesperia sold an extra 19k.
ncxcstud @ Aug 20th 2008 2:37PM
