Huge market share boost as over 7000 consumers take advantage of new low price

Microsoft's Xbox has had its most successful week to date this year in Japan, capturing almost 7 per cent market share following a price cut to the hardware and the launch of a Project Gotham Racing 2 bundle deal.

Slowly, but surely, the Xbox will be more recognized in this region.
