A good week for HD in Japan. Not only did the PS3 beat the Wii (pretty common now) but the 360 hardware is strong too. Its not only you guys that have a two pronged attack on the industry (Nintendo and Apple), we gamers are striking back too!

Nice debut for MH on the 360. When's the last time a 360 games was #1 in Japan? ToV? Blue Dragon?

I'm also curious about HW, as the 360 S debuted on June 24th in Japan(along with the pricecuts on the older models) and will be included in the numbers.

I remember nobody was willing to admit how MHG did on Wii, and that has only sold 250k, MHF is going to sell half of that on the 360, and system with a fraction of the install base.

Puts eveything into question i guess, seems well have to re-evaluate how ToG and MH3 did, but then again, the cost of developing on the Wii is as low as it gets, probably the lowest, so its possible that the developers only needed say 50-100k to make a profit let alone break even, as for MHF, just because its HD, its going to need at least 200k.

Simply said, developers only support HD because when they announced their games, they didnt know just how much of a beast the Wii was going to be, the shift will happen soon enough, as it has been happening for the last 3 1/2 years.

famitsu?

NDS 69,200
PSP 25,668
PS3 21,659
WII 18,507
360 17,490

Wasn't MHG pretty much a remake of a PS2 game?

MHF shouldn't have cost that much to make considering it's a port of the PC game.

Wow its been a really long time since a 360 title has been number 1 in Japan.

Well im just echoing the sentiments of most of the community here and their regards to what they define as a commercial success on the Wii to what is on the HD consoles.

For example, a late port of an unpopular game selling better is somehow a failure for the HD systems.

Disappointing X360 hardware sales imo. With new Slimmer unit, price drops and MH game I kinda expected more. It's still in last place even though other consoles had pretty normal week (except DS that had price drop couple of weeks ago).

That numbers...where did you find it?

Neither on GAF...and...Famitsu?I'm waiting for tomorrow,and Mediacreate.

Disappointing? Seriously? Last week the 360 sold 1.7k units in Japan. If these numbers are true, then it sold 10X what it did last week. I'd say that's pretty good (everybody says the 360 is dead in Japan anyway)
