Blah I apologize that was meant for another thread. On topic in Japan, I think this spike is due to Vesperia's launch. Hopefully it'll catch steam.

I'm wondering how Japan will recept to LBP.

Kotaku can't even get their facts straight:

"that just might mean that Microsoft will move more than it's standard 3,000 Xbox 360s a week in Japan. Or not."

Wrong, considering sales trends Microsoft IS already moving more than 3,000 xbox 360s regularly in Japan.

Kotaku is pretty bad at checking up on facts and especially on retracting their mistakes.

Yeah, it's basically a glorified low-quality blog from what I can see.

Are you referring to America where it sold 87k and the PS3 sold 28k this week?

Love the fanboys.

I was more referring to the fact that my store got about 100 of the 20 gb ones in and I think we have sold about 4 of them. Of course I'm not worried about space constraints since we don't have any of the PS3's or the Wii's in stock. So no worries. k tnk ya

Statement is Pwned!!!

Because just about everyone who would bother to spend the money to purchase an Elite is just going to get a PS3 instead. This is especially true for Japan.

the cake is a lie!!!

seriously this reminds me of south park.

the episode cartman bought a playland park and said it was closed!
and only he could use it, then everybody wanted to go in,

the same estrategy was applied to the wii and its working.
