As we saw, 360 software sales really took off last year in Japan, im not talking about the big name JRPGs, but the usual stuff with even budget rereleases selling more than 30k.
Either way, over the last few months theres been a number of games, mainly Graphic Novels and SHMUPs that are now selling at eerily similar rates. Heck they are even making debuts of 10k which is good on its own and then going onto to sell 20-30k units.
As the PS3 gets stronger in the region, MS will find it hard to secure third-party exclusives but maybe all those niche titles on PS2 will slowly make their way to the 360 and have the console will continue to sell at a decent amount (5-10k) weekly.
The Saturn was able to sell a lot of units on just reputation, while MS will never achieve that level of success, they can do something similar. It puzzles me as to how on Earth the PS2 continues to sell when its sold so much already, and even more so that it beats the 360 despite the 360 now having a respectable library that Japanese gamers would like.
