Forums - Sales - Japan Up!

Nice sales for 360 in Japan, hopefully it can stay up



Around the Network

Microsoft needs to keep bringing more games like Star Ocean to Japan....one every 2-3 months would boost sales in Japan ALOT! I had to double take, I couldnt believe 360 outsold both Wii & PS3 in Japan!



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

Nice for 360. But the 360 has no other major RPGs to push it again this year.

 

I think MS still has bought some unnancoud games for the Japanese market. It wouldn't make any sense otherwise (why make so many games exclusive when you suddenly stop and sales of your console will drop like a rock?)



hmm i expected 360 to sell more considering they have an RPG with a fan base im abit disapointed

But which major game can they get out? RE5 is soon but that's it for a long time. And we're not gonna hear about a new DMC or HD Tales or SE game or whatever for a while.

 

I know, PS3 is having the same problem, no big exclusive releases untill Final Fantasy XIII. But I still have a feeling MS has something up its sleeves. ToV was announced a few months before its release if I can remember correctly.

great...as long as the 360 can at least maintain ~10K a week for a month its gonna hit a million units by the end of march....



Wow, Japan numbers are very low for everything except the 360.

It's not the first, but it's still rare.

Yeah it was easily predictable X360 beat the Wii. But contrarily to what many people said PS3 didn't beat the Wii yet in Japan and probably won't.
