Microsoft tries to tempt gamers with heavy price cuts in Japan    

  Microsoft tries to tempt gamers with heavy price cuts in Japan
Added by Gauss on 10.06.2012

Pretty cheap XBOX 360 + Kinect.

Seems that, for the rest of June, Japanese Xbox Live members can buy a Slim 360 with Kinect for less than the cost of a PS3...

So, Microsoft is now offering an amazing deal to Japanese consumers via its online store, as they have reduced the price of a slim Xbox 360 Kinect bundle by nearly 40 percent.

The sale price of 24,800 yen (about $313 U.S.) comes in under the standard retail price of a PlayStation 3 or a Vita. But there's one catch...

This deal is only for registered Xbox Live members, making this less of a promotion to entice new buyers and more of a dangling carrot for established Xbox owners to upgrade to a newer model and try Kinect.

Yes, we all know XBOX 360 has never found any traction in Japan, as usually runs neck-and-neck in weekly sales charts with the PS2, and in its seventh year on Japanese shelves, just over 1.5 million Xbox 360s have been sold.

Even Kinect hasn’t even sold as well as Sony’s all-but-forgotten PlayStation Move.

So, even if this is just for current XBL members, let's hope it helps at least a little in there!
