XBox 360 outsold by Gamecube in Japan

In America, there is so much demand for the XBox 360 that they are forcing you to buy the $399 device in $1500 bundles. But in Japan, the Xbox 360 is selling fewer units than the venerable (i.e. old) Gamecube. This is the equivalent of people buying the old Atari 2600 over an NES.
