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.

 

Yea but you're Canadian, are you sure everyone south of your border knows?

With The Last Remnant, Cry On, Blue Dragon 2 and Star Ocean (and possibly FFXIII, considering the "success" of ToV), I'm sure it'll reach 1M by end of 2009.



Consoles Owned: XBOX 360, Wii, DS and PSP.

360 price drop in Japan increases X360 sales. X360 is now a lot cheaper than Wii in Japan. A continued supply of JRPG's on X360 in Japan will further increase X360 sales figures. Life time X360 sales in Japan over 6 years should be around 1.5 million. 1 million X360's in Japan sometime in 2009.

1 million is probaby reached before Jun 09, with the current rate of 32K-80K / month

and tbh the xbox 360 weekly rate of 2K is long gone.

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?

and tell me, how many consoles did Sega sell in Japan this generation.  Oh wait.... nevermind.

(Cheap shot, I know).

If FF13 comes for the 360 in Japan it'd be later on. SE has invested buttloads of money on FF13 and can't afford a delay, at all. Holding up the game while they port it to make it a simultaneous launch in Japan would be night on impossible.





Current-gen game collection uploaded on the profile, full of win and good games; also most of my PC games. Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts 1982-2008 (Requiescat In Pace).

Yeah 1 million in Japan is extremely probable, they key battleground for the 360 is not japan but Europe



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game
