Despite it being very early days, it seems that the Xbox 360 isn't quite off to the sort of start that Peter Moore, J Allard and Robbie Bach would have hoped if preliminary sales figures from Japan are correct. Financial news organisation Bloomberg have reported figures from market researcher Enterbrain Inc. that up to 62,135 units were sold in the first two days - compared to the original Xbox which sold 123,000 units in the first three days. The figure equates to approximately 39% of the total number of Xbox 360 units made available in Japan and is a far cry from the sell outs experienced in the West.
