I came for DMJ's tears.

They will be warm. Salty. Bitter.

And sweet.

maybe this is the 4th week i guess.

 

It's actually the 6th week that the XBox 360 has outsold the PS3. It started with the release of Tales of Vesperia 6 weeks ago. I'm amazed that it lasted this long. I thought the XBox 360 would fall behind the PS3 by now. Nope, I was wrong. The Last Remnant will be out next. What will that do for hardware sales? Then we get Star Ocean in March and FF XIII at the end of 2009.

Star Ocean TLH is out 19 Feb 09 in Japan.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Xbox360 falling

PS3 too

Another draw week

only NA remain Xbox360 > PS3

Excuse me?

The PS3 has been roundly and squarely beaten in Japan for over a month.

And they BOTH suck in Europe.

 

People say it is a draw week in Japan and Europe because it falls in the margin of error.

 

in europe correct, japan not

6600-660=5940

 

I don't think 600 units is that big of a deal.  Percentagewise maybe.  But if you are going to call konnichiwa for being incorrect, you should do the same for starcraft since both the 360 and the PS3 was doing rather well in "others."  Maybe your also want to downplay the PS3's success in "others" by also imply that if the 360 "sucks" in "others" then so does the PS3 since they are so close to lifetime sales.

10% my friend in japan

europe is within the margin of error thats why I don't discuss it here

 

First of all, I don't care for this margin of error.  More is more and less is less so I'm with you there.  But just because someone favors a console that you don't, it doesn't excuse you for feuling an anti-PS3 agenda.  Just just said "europe correct" but then you said "thats why I don't discuss [Europe] here." Hypocrite.  You are willing to argue konnichiwa because but not call out Starcraft.  You response is just an excuse as I've pointed out.

A acceptable margin of error is ten percent range. Not ten percent total. Which means plus or minus five percent maximum. Now if you think Famitsu can range farther then that on anything close to a consistent basis you should simply state that you do not feel the numbers provided by their methodology are reliable. You must also come to conclusion that the numbers on this site are grossly unreliable since most would concede that Famitsu probably accounts for the vast majority of this sites charting of that particular market.

The bottom line is the range is significant enough to say that Microsoft did beat Sony for another week in Japan. The beating may be greater or less then the numbers indicate, but the salient fact remains. I also find it fundamentally idiotic that the mindset is that the formula for tracking would over track the 360, and under track the PS3. You would think they would both be over tracked or both under tracked.

So congratulations to Microsoft for holding in there for another week. Who would have thought mighty Sony would have been humbled like this in Japan earlier this year. Will be interesting to see how Sony responds to this. Beyond that someone on these forums told me the global meltdown did not really effect Japan. I could not bring myself to believe them. Japan is the poster child for a nation utterly dependent on global trade. With a large population, poor natural resources, and a dependence on the import of raw materials. To me that screams a nation that acutely feels the global economic situation.
