Go ahead, rub your eyes and read the headline again. The Japanese are so gaga over Tales of Vesperia that they've gone and bought up every last Xbox 360, Engadget Japanese's Ittousai reports to Joystiq. Sold out!
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.

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.

"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.

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.
