Forums - Sales - Japan up

I have no idea what has happened to Japans market but it has to be said that it its pretty scary. Just a couple years ago the top ten were 100k+ but now look at the numbers!

Japan is still the front of the gaming industry by a country mile but in terms of sales it is being more and more irrelevelant.

7 weeks in a row, baby! And the Wii is under 15,000 (and down 27,000 worldwide from last week. :) ) lol.



Heavens to Murgatoids.

Yes it's irrelevant to Nintendo and MS who get tons of sales in US/EU but look for 2009 graph comparing Sony Japan sales with worldwide:

even in the worst weeks Japan was responsible for 10% + sales of Sony.

 

 

And well Japan is keeping PSP alive:

BTW anyone knows how to make those links display as graphs inside post (other than print screen and hosting it on imageshack :D )

At this rate 360 could soon be out selling the Wii.
Now that would be something.

I've lived in Japan for 17 years and our economy has been bad for years, these poor sales did not start when the recession hit NA and EU. I have you know that I watch BBC news every day at 6pm. -_-

Also dream on reask, the hardware bump has to do with the 360 getting a 256mb arcade model, numbers will be down again soon enough.

Its true

The Japanese economy is almost terminal. It is virtually bankrupt as a nation.

Earnings recession predicted for this year... now that would be very very bad.

 

and some of us still believe that there would be a ps3 price cut *sigh*

yes, but a ps3 price cut - no chance.



the best RPG's are coming 2013 !!!! oh my god, this is perfect for RPG-GAMER = ) Ni No Kuni - 25 january, Time and Eternity, tales of xillia (PS3) and the maybe best game ever: metal gear solid ground zero


PS3 should be above Wii for another 2 weeks.

360 hits 9k... without any new SW?
