Microsoft has finally confirmed some Xbox 360 sales numbers for various areas around the globe. In North America, Microsoft sold approximately 900,000 units. In Europe, they sold around 500,000 and in Japan, they sold between 0 to 100,000 – heh.. I would suspect the number was not 0 in Japan. The current total number of console sales is 1.5 million which does mean Microsoft hasn’t really met their own projected expectations. So what’s the problem right now? Console suppy issues, low number of launch titles, and nothing truly on the scale of Halo for the original Xbox (although Call of Duty 2 does come close in our opinion). In Japan, the adoption rates are unusually low and that can probably be attributed to the lack of interest from the Japanese with the 360, especially with the current game titles and the late launch of Dead or Alive 4.
