Microsoft fail to capture Japanese gamers interest



German website Gamefront has issued a report stating that Microsoft will be making an announcement this week to confirm the the Xbox 360 will be relaunched in Japan in June.

Japan is the only territory that hasn't sold out of Xbox 360's. In response to these poor sales, June 29th is billed as the official re-launch date.

The re-launch date conveniently clashes with the amended release dates of a number of major titles, including Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, Bullet Witch, Chrome Hounds, and Spectral Force 3.

Microsoft are hoping that these titles may spur Japanese gamers into action.

According to reports, on a weekly basis, the Gamecube is selling just as many units as the Xbox 360.
