According to a source speaking to Gameinformer, the Xbox 360 will not launch in Japan this year. At E3 Microsoft initially said they would have a worldwide launch by the end of 2005, but sources say that Japan's Xbox 360 release date could slip until Q1 2006, and most likely the system won't launch in Japan until March.
The Xbox has been a complete failure in Japan, and last year the original PlayStation outsold it. With the exclusives secured from Japanese developers for the Xbox 360, down to the design of the system, Microsoft has been doing everything in its power to change the mindset of the Japanese gamer. But if the Xbox 360 is delayed until Q1 2006, Microsoft will be releasing the system the same time rival Sony will be launching the PlayStation 3.
