No, because the plug you describe is now reserved (in the US National Electrical Manufacturers Association standards) for 250V at either 15A or 30A, depending upon diameter of the plug. A ready-made "adapter" would invite serious dangers, as would any such home-made device.

How do you wire a three prong plug that has a horizontal prong?
Depends upon which prong is horizontal. Under NEMA standards (in the USA) it could either be 250v (6-20p) with both non-grounded terminals hot, or 125v (5-20p) with the horizontal being neutral. Obviously, WHICH terminal is horizontal determines the possible voltage, so you cannot accidentally plug a 125v device into a 250V socket.

Will an American Xbox 360 consoles work in Japan?
Yes. My Xbox 360 that I bought in late 2009 Uses a standard 100-127v 50-60 hertz power supply. I live in Sumida Tokyo and my 360 works with no extra adapter. You may need a 3 prong to 2 prong adapter because they do not use 3 prong plugs here. Japan uses 100v vs 120 in the US so no problems at all because the power supply goes from 100-127v. I am not sure about the slims released in June 2010.
