Microsoft Xbox360 HD DVD player Japan launch in Nov
By
Microsoft Corp. said on Wednesday it would launch an HD DVD player for its Xbox 360 game console on November 22 in Japan for 20,790 yen ($177), matching rival Sony Corp.’s PlayStation 3 in high-definition DVD functions.
The world’s largest software maker also said 110 game titles would become available for Xbox 360 in Japan by the end of the year. That is up from its previous target in April of 80 titles. Offering a wide-ranging and attractive software line-up and state-of-the-art functionality is critical as the industry heads into the year-end shopping season. Sony and Nintendo Co. Ltd. plan to offer their new game consoles in November, setting the stage for a three-way showdown in the nearly $30 billion video game market.
