Looking for an Xbox 360? Here’s some good news for you — Japan has plenty of the consoles to go around.

According to a study by leading Japanese game magazine Famitsu, less than half of the estimated 159,000 360 consoles in stores sold in the first weekend of sales.

The poor performance of the console has been blamed on postponement of the Dead or Alive 4 game.

Japan’s games market is traditionally dominated by Sony and Nintendo, which are releasing new consoles next year.

So if you just have to have an Xbox 360 for Christmas, Japan is the place to go.
