Microsoft has finally officially confirmed Xbox One launch prices for games within Japan. While the Xbox One's predecessor had a lackluster reception in the country it appears Microsoft is hoping to avoid a repeat of last gen by offering launch bundles both with and without Kinect. Japan will be graced with the Xbox One formal launch on September 4th with the Kinect bundle for 49,980 yen (£291/$490) while a package without sensor will run consumers 39,980 yen (£233/$392).
Seems like a lot saying nearly 50,000 yen, however that is just 291 GBP.
Anyhow, this price seems fairly reasonable considering here in the UK the console with the sensor it 300 pounds.
