Its not doing "slightly" it's beating it 2:1 vs. the Xbox's best year.
There are only 3 weeks the X360 of 2007 was beaten - 2 weeks by Xbox due to DOAX Volleyball, and Dino Crisis, and 1 week by X360 2006 due to N3. That's pretty convincing, since most of the year, the X360 has beaten both combined sales. Not only this, it's "bottom" of sales is around 2050 units, the lowest of the year. This is in stark contrast to Xbox's lowest of 800, and X360's lowest of 1050.
I'll be putting up a total gross sales chart as well, like the one in my avatar to further show how the X360 in Japan is doing quite well.
1m is pretty much a lock, save Microsoft just totally pull out of Japan next year. The X360 will be anywhere from 650-750k by EOY, leaving only 250k needed for 1m...And with an even better year next year as far as releases go (DMC4, poss. Infinite Undiscovery, Last Remnant, ect), it should do even better next year than this year, as there's even more good software for the X360.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
