Japan has been somewhat of a taboo place for the Xbox 360 when it comes to sales. Despite the fact that around the world the Xbox 360 is just as common in a house as a toaster, the console never really found a standing in Japan.

It gives Diablo fans the opportunity to get together before the release of the game, and plan out their battle strategies long before the fight begins.
