To get a better comparison, you should add release dates. FFXIII's push is hugely impressive, but it really needs to be noted it's happening in the holiday season too (which is also a major hardware driver). |
japan doesn't celebrate xmas. it's not holiday until golden week or new year eve
|
yeah but they do give gifts or at least money on news years. They celebrate xmas mostly for couples to have a romantic night. There should really be no argument here though, look at Japan sales right now, they are like this every year.
|
not really they get their boost later.
i remenber last year there was a thread about it. japan bumps arent' as big as western cultures.
almost nulll.
|
The boost begins at the start of December traditionally, with bumps weekly until the 1st week of January. PS3 skyrocketed this week, but it'd still have likely sold 100-150k anyway without FFXIII.
|
actually ps3 boosted only to 79k previous week.
|
And it would've jumped this week and again next week. It wouldn't have remained flat at ~80k.
|
not to 250k, over 90k bundles were sold,
