According to a Famitsu Marketing data survey, 113,000 Xbox 360 units have been sold in Japan this year. Over the past 11 months, Sony has sold 1.4 million PS2s. The new releases of PS3 and Wii have already trumped Xbox 360 yearly sales in just a handful of weeks. Even the Game Boy Micro, a niche collectible, managed to sell 150,000 units this year. To be fair, Xbox 360 outsold GameCube in 2006 as Nintendo's now-defunct console sold under 100,000 units.

Microsoft is hopeful that the newly-released RPG from Mistwalker Studio, Blue Dragon, can spark renewed interest in the 360 in Japan.

Even the Game Boy Micro sold more. Why would you buy a Micro?

It's a collectible? I sorta want one now that you mention it. But yeah, I see your point.

Edit: Goddamn! The 20th Anniversary Micro is sexy to the max.

My friend brought it to class once, was playing a Wario or Mario game I think. It just seems pointless, DS or PSP, spend a bit more.
