Xbox 360 Sells 1 Million Units In Japan

Japan likes to buy Japanese built consoles. Last generation saw the Xbox barely even selling over there. It looks like american console makers are starting to make an impact in sales over in Japan this generation.

According to Famitsu's publisher Enterbrain, Xbox 360 has passed the milestone of one million units sold in Japan. Although the figure might look rather small, it's something for Microsoft to celebrate as the original Xbox barely sold 500,000 units.

Kotaku, which obtained the report and translated it, noted that lifetime domestic sales figures for the PS3 are around 3 million. The PlayStation 3 went on sale in Japan on November 11, 2006. The Xbox 360 launched a year earlier in the land of the rising sun, on December 10, 2005.
