Forums - Microsoft Discussion - The Present and Future of Xbox 360 Sales in Japan by Thibje.

thibje on 29 January 2008

Hello everybody,


Welcome to my thread about the Xbox 360 sales in Japan.
I know I have already made a thread about these numbers but it also includes my prediction for NA - Europe and Asia - World. And It will be a lot easier to discuss the sales when I separate these threads.
In this thread I am going to make a long view prediction about the Xbox 360 hardware and software.
And I am going to compare the week over week sales in Japan. (A la mrstickball)
Give you the differences between M-create and Famitsu numbers.

The numbers will be updated every Thursday and Friday evening from now on.

About the predictions

For the long view I am going to predict the numbers for the comming 3 months.
For the software I can edit the prediction of the first week sales and total life sales one week before it's release.

>Xbox 360 will have sold 1.000.000 consoles by 21 of january '09 in Japan

given how Blue-Dragon and LO did, I don't think so.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

KH3 bet: "If KH3 comes to Wii exclusive, I will take a 1 month of sig/avatar by otheres open a thread apologize and praise you guys' brilliance." http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=18379
Original cast: Badonkadonkhr, sc94597 allaboutthegames885, kingofwale, Soriku, ctk495, skeezer, RDBRaptor, Mirson,

Episode 1: OOPSY!
selnor: Too Human I even expect 3-4 mill entire life and 500,000 first day. GoW2 ( expect 7 - 9 million entire life and over 2 mill first day), Fable 2 (expect 5-6 million entire life and 1.5 mill fist day) BK3 (expect 4 - 5 mill sales entire life and 1 mill first day).. Tales/IU/TLR should get to 2 or 3 million! post id: 868878
Episode 2:
Letsdance: FFXIII (PS3+360) first week in NA = 286K
According to pre-order rate in week 13 (post id: 2902544)

*sales won't drop below 4000 per week


I don't know, it was really close to drop below just this week (4100), are you basing that on something or have you been drinking too much Microsoft's cool-aids? ;)

 No I don't drink Microsoft's cool-aids because they aren't available in Belgium. ;)
I agree that it was close but I think ioi will make a little adjustment and they will be higher for last week.
On the other hand I came up with that number a couple of weeks ago and I think it won't be broken in the first 3 months of this year but I don't know what the line up is for the 360 after march. But I am confident that the numbers won't drop because when you have a library of over 300 games you excist on a market so I don't think we will see numbers like 2000 units sold this year.

1 week ban if xbox360 fells below 4k (Jan 26th number)

up for that?

Yeah, looks fine to me. But can we separate that one week in 1 period of 4 days and 1 one of 3 days. Because I really want to update my threads and I participate in the Prediction league. + I sugest that we take (MC + Famitsu + VGC) / 3
