The internet's most awesomely named chart website,
Chart Get!, reports that the Xbox 360 has officially surpassed the 900,000 mark in Japan. The console sold only 9,833 during the week of February 9-15, but that was apparently enough to push the console over 900k. This puts Microsoft tantalizingly close to its
goal of breaking one million units in Japan.
Don't get too excited, though. Remember, when Microsoft announced that goal back in September of 2008, 720,000 units had been sold in Japan. That means it's taken nearly five months to sell just under 200,000 additional units. Make no mistake, Microsoft will most likely break the one million milestone, but it could be a while.
