i like how the writer says "i guess xbox 360 isn't doing that bad in japan after all" lol whatever.....anyways xbox is going to destroy the ps3 in americas, the gap won't be there long. europe could go either way, but ps3 might nudge it out but not by much

Resident Evil Japan's first day sales:

PS3:222000

X360:56000

http://www.gamezine.co.uk/news/formats/xbox360/the-playstation-3-best-selling-hardware-in-japan-last-week-$1275160.htm

what do you think?

P.S.RE5 on PS3 alone already outsold the debut of RE4 first week in one day.

That's in Japan only. That's obviously going to happen as Japan is Nintendo and Sony country. lol!! Let's wait for the U.S. and European sales and see what happens.

The sales numbers simply reflect the ratio between the number of PSE and 360 owners

Nope.

PS3 is 360 userbase by 3:1 (a little less)

RE5 PS3 is RE5 360 by 4:1 (also a little less)

There are more RE fans on the PS, I guess. Hopefully that'll be the case for other areas as well. RE5 PS3 ftw.

also thes are 1st day. 360 was on sale longer and should have less legs throgh the weekend id be surprised if the gap is 5.1 first week

the ratio of people who bought RE5:

7.5% of PS3 owners

5.5% of 360 owners

i was expecting the ratio to favor the 360 since the install base is lower and are prone to buying more software..

just goes to show you 360 owners also own aps3 and buy multi plats for the ps3. just more statistics to prove i wasnt wrong no matter who want to try to 'own' me
