Microsoft's price cuts on games consoles are starting to show sales results around the globe, the software giant announced Thursday.

The Redmond, Washington, software maker made recent price cuts, in a move to stoke sales of its Xbox 360. The cuts helped double Xbox 360 sales in the U.S., increase sales by over 60 percent in Europe, and quintuple sales in Japan, Microsoft said at the Tokyo Game Show conference.
