The miss spelling of the country that makes some of my most favorite stuff is making me twitch and want to punch something. Correct it please... its spelled Japan, not Jaipan... Not to sound harsh but come on! The name is on the front page of the site for gods sakes

Actually, it was spelled "Jaipan," which isn't too bad if you take "p" and the "ai" and take them to the end. I'll leave it to you to figure out the rest.

OP: No.

Maybe he meant Japain, as in painfull for Xbox sales?



I don't think so. Xbox 360 sales have collapsed quite a bit over the last year.

We're derailing the discussion, but yeah, that's good too.

I seriously doubt it. 360 sales have fallen off a cliff now that the XBox One is out. At it's current pace, it would take like 5 years to pass Wii even with the exclusion of Japan, and that's without falling off further which it of course will do. I don't see 360's being in demand/support 5 years from now.

Wii have sold 102,000,000 globally. 13,000,000 in Jiapan.

XBOX 360 have sold 84,000,000 globally, 2,000,000 in Jiapan.

Without the Jiapan sales:

Wii have sold 89,000,000 versus the 82,000,000 of 360...

 

My question is, lifetime, can XBOX 360 outsell Wii without Jiapan?

For me yes, and for you?

Sales are sales. Why exclude Japan?(rehtorical) I know exactly why you did. 

What? O.o



Sorry, in Italy Japan is write with the "i".
Correct.

OT: Thanks for the comment.



No way, the 360 has sold about 1.4 million thus far in 2014, it'll be lucky to top 3 million for this CY. Another 1.8-2 million next year followed by death throes and another million or two before discontinuation. It possibly won't reach 90 million either.
The PS3 has sold over twice as much as the 360 this year and is still not on pace to beat the Wii.



360 will sell another 2 million by the end of this year, Wii outside Japan will sell another 400K.

That will make 360 84 million and Wii 89.4 million. So 360 needs ~5.4 million in 2015 to catch Wii. But it won't sell 5 million this year so it won't sell anywhere near enough next year. And I don't see it being on the market in 2016. So I doubt 89 million will happen for 360 without the meager help of Japan.
