No relief in sight for the 5000 or so Japanese gamers who might be on the weekly hunt for an Xbox 360. With a limited supply, those looking for a Microsoft brand console on which to play a copy of Tales of Vesperia or a second game will be left wanting until such time as supplies are replenished. That means that only 3500 Japanese gamers could get their hands on a 360 this past week.

Not sure it indicates normal selling just that they sold 3,551. The fact they sold any after they announced they would not be able to supply seems a tad fishy but I guess these consoles appeared from dusty back rooms once demand appeared.
With this new price cut announced today and the alledged short supply of the 360 it will be interesting to see how this number stabilises.
