Numerous reports from several online news sources are today pointing to fresh news on Japanese site Game Watch, which purports to reveal that the Xbox Lounge in Tokyo will actually close come January 15th 2006. Given that the showcase 'Lounge' only opened last week to promote the December 10th debut of the Xbox 360 in Japan, we're assuming Microsoft will feel the expensive showroom's job will be done by this point. Microsoft are no doubt banking on positive reviews and a good reception for the company's Japan-styled titles in order to power the console debut ahead, along with the support of games retailers of course.
