Microsoft says that the Japanese Xbox launch is still on track for February 22.
Microsoft has refuted a Bloomberg report that stated that the Japanese launch of the Xbox would be pushed back to March 2002. In response to the report, Microsoft KK, the Japanese arm of Microsoft's games division, released a statement saying that the report is false and the launch is scheduled for February 22, as originally announced. The Xbox console will launch in Japan with such titles as Genma Onimusha, Air Force Delta II, Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams, Jet Grind Radio Future, and Double Steal (known as Wreckless in North America), among others.
