Xbox Japanese Sales Figures

Came across this story about the next gen consoles in Japan.

I was a bit surprised to read that in the first half of 2005 in Japan, Microsoft sold 9,000 xbox consoles, versus Sony's nearly 1.3 million Playstation 2s.

This link says that the xbox has only sold about 460,000 units to date in Japan.

Ouch, I knew the xbox wasn't doing that great in Japan, but I had no idea just how bad the situation actually is. It'll be interesting to see how Microsoft's strategy with the xbox 360 for Japan turns out.
