360 Sales in Japan Improve

Sales of the Xbox360 skyrocketed in Japan due to the release of the
anticipated RPG Blue Dragon.

The Xbox360 sold 35,343 units from December 4 to December 10, by contrast the console sold 7,000 units the previous week.

This boost in sales is good news for the Xbox360 wich has struggled in Japan from its launch due to limited game offerings. Titles like Ridge Racer 6 and Dead or Alive 4 have failed to attract interest in the Xbox360.

Microsoft has said earlier this month that it expects to sell in excess of 10 million Xbox360 units by the end of 2006.
