Sales for Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360 fell further in Japan as consumers flock to rival video game hardware in the territory.
Media Create Co. on Fri. reported that the Xbox 360 sold 1,452 units between Mar. 31 and Apr. 6. By comparison, the hardware sold 1,547 units the week prior and 1,744 units two weeks ago.
Additionally, the hardware was unable to rank any software titles in the top 50 sales.
Two 360 game titles that ranked in the top 50 last week, including Dark Sector and Armored Core for Answer, dropped from the charts.
The Xbox 360 ranked last in overall hardware sales, placing well below all other handheld and console offerings in the region.
The Xbox 360 sold 254,600 units in Feb. U.S. sales according to NPD Group Inc.
Microsoft in Feb. warned that the Xbox 360 was in short supply at U.S. retail and could hinder market share for the next two months
