It was somehow expected that Microsoft will not have the same hype going for the Xbox 360 in Japan, as they had in the United States and the UK.
BBC News titles their Japanese Xbox 360 Launch coverage with "Muted hello for XBox 360 in Japan". Kotaku has published a first hand reports of the Japanese Xbox 360 launch from Osaka and from Tokyo. The stores in Japan appear to be full with Xbox 360 consoles and the lines were moderate to not existent. The Xbox 360 was not a sell-out on launch day in Japan.
