Xbox 360 sold out in Japan

Go ahead, rub your eyes and read the headline again. The Japanese are so gaga over Tales of Vesperia that they've gone and bought up every last Xbox 360, Engadget Japanese's Ittousai reports to Joystiq. Sold out!

Granted, Microsoft isn't exactly pumping units into Japan, but even this sudden surge in demand has knocked the console manufacturer square off its feet. A statement on the Japanese Xbox.com (clumsy translation) explains that new shipments of the standard model won't arrive at retail until September, followed by shipments of the Elite and Arcade SKUs sometime later. But by then, pigs may have landed and Hell could be all thawed out.

Never thought it will happen. It be pretty weird if the xbox360 outsells gaming PC in South Korea since South Koreans are very into their Starcraft.

My guest most of the people who were planing to buy a PS3 or Wii . Already bought one, and they ran out of good games to play on the PS3 because they played them all already, and some of the Wii Casual games like Wii sports were getting too casual, and the wii does not have a huge library of games to interest the FPS, fighting games fans.
