Only some 10 people were in line when a central Tokyo outlet of the Bic Camera consumer electronics chain opened its Xbox sales counter at 7:00 am.

Customer reactions “are a bit subdued,” a senior store official said, adding that fewer than 50 consoles were sold in the first two hours.

“It’s not going to be a big hit in Japan,” said 26-year-old Kentaro Okamoto, one of the first Xbox 360 buyers. “I buy every new game console… but normally Japanese customers only buy a machine when it’s made by Sony or Nintendo.”

看得出 Xbox 360 在日本的發售，其窘境跟歐美地區形成強烈的對比。Kotaku 作者更在 Xbox 360 Japan Launch Guide 系列，從 Xbox 360 Osaka Launch: Getting There Is Hell 到 Xbox 360 Osaka Launch: Not Exactly a Mad House，非常詳細地記述他跟朋友在大阪購買 Xbox 360 的過程，值得一讀。
