Microsoft to Cut Xbox360 Price in Japan

In July, representatives for Microsoft claimed that their Xbox360 prices in Japan were competitive enough, and did not need to lower them. However, Sony's recent announcement to cut both the 20GB and 60GB PS3, as well as the upcoming release of the 40GB PS3, caused Microsoft to re-think their position. To remain competitive, as of November 1st, the Japanese Xbox360 core will cost ¥27,800 (£120/€172/$244), and the Japanese Xbox360 Premium will cost ¥34,800 (£150/€215/$306).

because MS cant win a console debate over in Japan. Its numbers are very underwhelming.

Unfortunately this is only for Japan they are just translating the price of the currency over in Japan to what it would be in Euros and US dollars
