Sony PS3 winning in Japan so Microsoft launches entry level Xbox 360

As the Sony PS3 has been winning in Japan, Microsoft has decided to launch an entry level Xbox 360 in that country to try and gain ground on the newer next-gen games console.

Microsoft are trying to create more interest in its console in Japan, from March 6th a new Xbox 360 which is the Japanese equivalent of the Xbox 360 Arcade will sell for tax-inclusive ¥27,800 (about $260).

The entry level Xbox 360 will come with an extra 256MB memory unit, game pack and wireless controller. Although I feel this could do with going much cheaper if they want to increase sales.
