Forums - Sony - PS3 Sales Jump 900 Percent! (Yes, that's Nine Hundred!)

^_^ The DS outsold everything else by 1.5x :)
The PS3 did really good. Better than I had expected. But in this case, using relative numbers to prove a point is not... awesome. Just like my DS example just now. (which was faithfully ignored by PS3Fanboy, ofc).

GTA did better than I expected too, as did Little big planet. Good week for the PS3 in Japan.

Well, if you sell hardly anything it really isn't that hard to have a jump of 900%. DS actually almost managed to beat PS3 in the percentage jump btw, and its 720% jump is a lot more significant in absolute numbers.

Still doesn't beat its launch week, when it had an infinity % increase over its previous week of zero sales.

Is MediaCreate the NPD of Japan?

If so, does this mean PS3 edged out 360 this week?



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Hmm could some one compare the effect of the PS3's hardware change to the 360 price cut please.

Just a note, the 360 hardware cut had the effect of increased longterm sales, while a software spike usually is just that, a spike, with a ripple. Software spikes don't have long legs unless a game is bundled, and/or a new SKU is introduced. On the other hand, price cuts are focused on legs.

So, they're incomparable.

A better comparison would be the 360 spike during Tales of Vesperia.

So that means it sold 4,000 units the week before, and this week it sold 39,000?

Epic win?

Actually sales are mediocre in Japan everywhere. I just can't get excited over 5 digit numbers.

 

i agree with that, if u combine last remnant and star ocean on 360, and LBP white knight and final fantasy 13 on ps3

^ if them lot dont hieghten HD gaming in japan, then i feel HD in japan is dead

I would be inclined to wait a couple of months before I shouted from the roof tops. After all going from bugger all to where you should be might not be something to crow about.

Also the PS3 this week was not a sudden resurgence it was based on a new model with better specs being sold at the same price and a couple of key games one of which you could say under performed.

I do not want to sound harsh but as others have pointed it the PS3 could easily slip back although the season to be jolly may mask this decline.
