Xbox, launched more than a year after PlayStation 2, has struggled to gain a foothold in the competitive gaming market.
Weekly Famitsu, a major Japanese game publication, said Microsoft has sold 274,000 Xboxes since debuting in Japan on February 22, while Nintendo has sold 1.565 million GameCubes in Japan since its launch in September 2001.
To shore up sales, Microsoft said on Thursday it would unveil five new software titles for Xbox at the Tokyo Game Show which kicks off on Friday.
