The 360 is nearly at 5000 a week. Its not like over the last 4 weeks it has gone up then down either. It's slowly creeping up, and the PS3 is creeping down. What's the cause of this? Do yu think that the JRPG's the year and SO4 early next will boost it even more? Seems the 360 is doing better than I thought. I pretty much expect the 360 in US to stay around 100,000 or more for the rest of the year, it will be interesting to see how europe respond to this years lineup of RPG's to as that genre has a good reaction in Europe.

Thoughts?

Maybe they are finally getting the message that the 360 is the place to be for jRPGs

i think its because of the rpg lineup, i am glad this is happening. maybe more rpg's will come to 360 if sales keep slowly increasing.

lol...i was just looking at this.
i dont think its anything particularly interesting yet. ill wait till we are closer to some game releases before making an opinion on it.

360 sales to stay at 100k for the rest of the year? This was only a clearance sale, and within a few weeks everything should be back to normal.

It has the best RPGs.

Maybe, through word of mouth, they'll realise how good the 360 really is.

I believe the X360 is improving in the East because the console will have games that appeal to the consumer, and because MS is attempting to relate to the Japanese consumer. Here is an interesting read from 360fanboy on how they are attempting this.

Simply put...M$ got the best game now...best game in the near future. Most of the PS3 games is either coming out in late 2008 or even as far as 2010 (GT5 I'm looking at you).

Just like the PS3 did after its' similar firesale, right? -_-
