I have reason to believe that sales have pretty much topped off for XBL... lol... are you aware of what's being released in two weeks in Japan?

[Michael Bluth]

Nope, do tell.

[Nigel]

XBL beat Zelda by 100. I doubt the source. Why is XBL even there. It's not a game.

[Michael Bluth]

According to IGN Japan, in two weeks is mainly:

Devil May Cry 2 (PS2)
Winning Eleven Final Edition (GCN)


......?

The Winning Elevel series sell like hotcakes in Japan ... maybe they'll sell a few consoles.

I don't even care about Japan anymore, its the USA and European market that Nintendo needs to concentrate with.

I see ... than it's not that bad.

Go Zelda!!!!!!!!11111111 :hump:

I don't know...it's still pretty bad (well not necessarily BAD, but...) because it's a perihiperal restricted to Xbox owners with broadband. That's a very small number.
