Little bit lower for X360 and over for Wii in terms of MC/Famitsu tracking.

The X360 is now over a month ahead of 2007, in terms of YOY performance. It's sold as many units as the X360 did in 2007 up till the price drop in the 1st week of November.

Compared to 2006, it's about 2 months ahead, with only 2 weeks left in 2006 that put the 360's 2006 cume over 2008.

The turnaround the X360 has had since late June when MS hit Japans' weak spot for massive damage. 2008 went from being down 55,000 units when Gundam: Operation Troy came out, to being over 32,000 units ahead - All in 3 months!

Although it's still a very small number (and I won't lie about that), it does show that even being so far behind in 3rd place, Microsoft can, with the right moves, sell to the Japanese audience.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
