Can the 360 now keep selling about 10K in Japan, weekly?

thats hard to know but when the ps3 had a big title comming out msg4. 360 was selling too poorly in japan to compare.

 

Yeah, but the MGS hardware bump has shorter legs than this price-cut, lol.

Not really, but yeah, MGS4 bump is gonna be one of the biggest software related bumps the console gets(along with FFXIII) this gen, so it's not necessarily a good indiication of a normal game bump for the PS3.

 

it was a 77k bump and sold out bundles :)

 

...But dropped down to the exact same level the PS3 was selling at, the next week, and continued to go down to what it's at now.

 

 

I was afraid I'd be accused of trolling if I brought up week 2. We all remember week 2. Week 1 was the week the PS3 fans asked us to just give them, and not say anything negative saleswise about the game or the hardware bump....and thenthere was week 2. We'll always remember week 2. When the honeymoon was over.

Comparitively, the price cut in Japan for the 360 is a monumental success, and actually good news for the 360, unlike MGS4 week 2, which was bad news for the PS3. I'm fairly sure that less than 10 percent of us here actually predicted the 360 would outsell the PS3 this week. Maybe I'm wrong. I certainly wouldn't have put my money on any sustained bump for the 360 in Japan. The existance of this topic is a testament.
