9999 instead of 10000 is intentional, i think.
Xbox 360 doing maximum damage in Japan!

Now, all they need is to get limit break.

Looks like PS3 is about to eclipse Wii - at least for a few weeks.

Nintendo really made their first major misstep this gen with a near-copy of DS's Animal Crossing and Wii Music. Obviously they are not the strong sellers Nintendo was counting on and Wii Fit/Sports/Mario Kart is no longer pushing sales significantly.

Hope they have something really good up their sleeve for '09.

 

Does Animal Crossing Wii have better sales than any PS3 game in Japan?

 

 Naturally! Animal Crossing Wii is a million seller in Japan. No PS3 game has been anywhere near 1 million in sales.

The biggest is Metal Gear Solid 4 at somewhere around 600 000 to 700 000 copies sold. That puts things into perspective.



Just to put how terrible the Japan market is now into perspective...

Assuming Wii and DS stop selling right now forever.

360 and PS3, combined would need over 2.5 years just to match Wii sales.

Ps3 alone would take 4.8 years.

360, PS3, and Wii combined would take 5.4 years to match current DS sales.

PSP would need 6.9 years to match current DS sales.



I was going to make a X360 9999 damage joke, but like 5 people beat me to it. I guess I'm not that clever :-p

hmm, pretty standard fare.



all console sales for single platforms in US & EU are higher than all 3 major consoles in Japan combined.....the Japenese console market feels dead.



PREDICTIONS:
(Predicted on 5/31/11) END of 2011 Sales - Xbox 360 = 62M;  PS3 = 59M;  Wii = 97M

No price cut or new colors or bundles needed for the Wii in Japan. The dry spell will come to an end in April and then it's all over.



Why couldn't the 360 just sell ONE MORE UNIT?! *cries*

Hey Soriku, is the PS3 not for sale anywhere except Japan now? You don't have any other column spaces for it. :P



360 will hit 1mil before the PS3 hits 3mil.

Star Ocean 4 will give it pretty big boost. I should get there in about 3 weeks.
