While in America, the console is sold out everywhere, in Japan a few sources are reporting that only about a third of the consoles available were sold. Previously, the original XBox sold around 123,000 units. According to the Japanese Game Magazine Famitsu, 62,000 units were sold, which less than half of the previous console’s sales.

As the music says “it’s easy when you’re big in Japan”, but if this keeps up, things can get a little more complicated for Microsoft.
