Looks like Microsoft’s strategy to cut prices on the Xbox 360 is already paying off in Japan, with Famitsu reporting that the 360 has outsold the Wii for the week of September 8-14.
According to the figures, the 360 sold 28,681 units to the Wii’s 27,057. Keep in mind that the price cuts were introduced on September 11.
Walking through most game stores in Japan this week, you can definitely tell that retailers are anticipating a larger demand for the third-place console.

The price drop on the 360 here in Canada also makes it the cheapest system on the market.
Mircosoft is trying to compete with the other companies…and seem to being in good shape in Japan…
