Forums - Sales - Japan numbers up!

3 weeks is quite impressive, I think the 360 can make it to 4.

Just added the PS2 sales, it had a very impressive 11,445 in Japan for a almost 9 year old gaming console.

Still keepin up with the big boys!

 

 It's amazing really. No other console (yet) has made that. I wonder if the DS will still sell 10 years into its life. I doubt it though, as by that time, a DS2 light (equavalient) will be out, and buying the old DS would make no sense.

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

Yes the 360 can outsell the ps3 for 4 weeks in a row methinks...



360 outsold ps3, when there is no big releases, and when some new ps3 games release, wow wow.

also don't forget 360 have shortages, next week, i bet it will bump to > 12K

i think next week ps3 is getting even lower, and xbox 360 will > 12K, waiting smbu from other thread to get latest info about japan shortage, hopefully at least no shortage again in smbu area



What i want to know is why there are no 360 in top 50. What games are the people buying when they get a xbox? I mean wouldnt that make sence to have a game in the top 50 if you are selling at least 10k?

OK folks, Tinfoil Hat time.

We know that traditionally, the Japanese have been very pro Japanese companies, and don't really like MS that much.

We also can assume that at least on some consoles, MS is probably losing money per console due to the price cut, hoping to regain and grow profits from software and Live in that region. Further, there are no 360 games in the Japan top 50 at the moment.

Now, (and heres the conspiracy theory) could it be possible that the Japanese are trying to sink MS in Japan by buying consoles (losing MS money) and then by not buying software to further hurt MS?

/conspiracy theory

Strange indeed.. considering the JRPG collection available to them.
