The Xbox 360 recently enjoyed a price cut in North America, and a quasi-price cut in the UK (the Elite price was lowered, but the Arcade price was raised). Naturally, Japan is the next stage, with Microsoft Hong Kongdeclaring that tomorrowwill be the magic day.
Microsoft Japan will allegedly hold a press conference in Tokyo tomorrow where the price cut will officially be announced. However, the cheaper systems won’t be on store shelves until September 10. That’s plenty of time for our legions of Japanese readers to save up their Yen.
The Xbox 360 has been enjoying a little bit of success on Japan, probably because everybody in the country already owns a PS3, Wii and eight billion DS’ already. Will the price cut see further triumph for Microsoft on the Eastern front?
