Impact on 360 sales?

Post by Knoxximus »

Hey, those of you who are Japanese or live in Japan or are in touch with someone who lives in Japan...has the the release of VOOT affected 360 system sales numbers at all? I would just think that something like an online enabled M.S.B.S. ver. 5.66 might actually be a system seller in the land of the rising sun. I mean, are players in Japan pulling a Menthol (i.e. buying a 360 solely because VOOT is available and otherwise couldn't care less)?

I'm sure there would be quite a few, but exact numbers is anyone's guess. :?:

There was a report at the end of the week that marked Voot's release, stating that sales of the 360 in Japan finally breached the 1 million mark.

I'll have to hunt down the actuall article, but I think thats a sign atleast.

Lets just say whatever console it was to come out for I would have bought just for it.
