Tokyo - Microsoft said this week that it plans to launch the Xbox 360 Elite, an advanced version of the video game console, in Japan on Oct. 11, Reuters reported. The launch comes despite the Xbox 360's lackluster sales in Japan, where it trails sales of rival Wii and PlayStation 3 consoles. The 120GB Xbox 360 Elite console will sell for about $390 in Japan.
