    Maybe The Xbox 360 Really Is Sold Out In Japan...

    ...because it only moved a thousand units last week. That's with two Xbox 360 titles charting in the top fifty (Musou Orochi: Maou Sairin and Tales of Vesperia). Sure, it was a slow week for hardware sales across the board, with Wii sales bottoming out at 33K, but it certainly reads like Microsoft's supply is at near-starvation levels. Look at that teeny green slice! Now look away! It's too horrible...

    Media Create's weekly hardware sales for September 1 to 7 are as follows.

    Nintendo DS - 51,412
    PSP - 34,462
    Wii - 33,128
    PlayStation 3 - 8,317
    PlayStation 2 - 7,948
    Xbox 360 - 1,044
