right now, 600,000 Xbox 360s are shipped in Japan with about 1,500-2,000 360s sold every week. Here is a MATHEMATICAL explaination of why it should sell one million in the end.

there are 365 days in a year. Divide that by 7(the amount of days in a week) it equals alittle over 52 weeks in a year. Multiply that number by 1,700 a week ( this does not include big hitters released in Japan such as Blue Dragon 2), it is 88,400 consoles sold a year. They expect the generation to last at least 4 more years so multiply 4 by 88,400 which is 353,600. Add this number by the now which is 600,000, it equals 953,600 360s sold. Now include any big releases for the 360 in Japan such as Ninja Gaiden 2, Blue Dragon, and Cry On, this game has a HUGE shot at getting 1 million sold in Japan.

Oh totally, I think 1.5 - 2 mill is within reach.

errr.. ermm.. oh yes! hurray!

I'm glad you used your time and management skills to tell us this exciting news. A new benchmark in Xbox history. Wow, 1 million in Japan alone. I can't wait until the next generation when Xbox 540 sells 1.2 million in Japan. So can we plan on you covering that news?

...

Ok, I'm done being a sarcastic prick. Um... good for Microsoft?

It probably will get there somehow, but more likely due to huge price cuts and a few big games. Also, you didn't need to tell us how you figured out there were 52 weeks in a year--we knew that already.

nice post mate!! I have to agree with everything you said!!!

yeah - i agree
it'll hit it eventually

and thats a big deal becausseeeeee.....????

seriously though, 1 million is no big deal. They should be more excited about 15 or 20 million in NA.

Yeah, I agree It would sell a million in Japan before the end of this gen

Ne-ver, do you seriously think that the 360 will still be alive in 4 years over there???

Middle of 2009, it's officialy dead!
