Xbox 360 edges PS3 in Japan!

Apparently our friends across the seas are fans of arcade flight sims.  Tech.co.uk has the story that for a week, the Xbox 360 sales passed those of Playstation 3 in the land of the rising sun, with 17,673 units sold vs 17,434.  The hot game Ace Combat 6 lead the way, no doubt bringing many new 360 owners with it.  The timed exclusive on that title was a smart move by Microsoft.  The Wii still lead the way in console sales, but these glimmers of success by the 360 in Japan are few and far between.
