| TheConduit said: The 360 isn't floundering in Japan but rather the PS3 is flourishing. many Japanese gamers wanted a PS3 but until the price was lowered could not afford one. Not to mention the PS3's recent success contributing to increased sales. |
360 sales were down about 45% yoy in December and so far in January they are down about 55%. They had a decent New Year's spike last year (to nearly 20k), whereas this year sales peaked in early December (10k) for the MW2 release and have declined every week since then with New Year's week at 6k. It's as if the holidays didn't exist this year.
