 "One of the more curious trends we saw at Yodobashi Akiba this morning for the Halo 3 launch was the attach rate... for Wiis. We weren't looking that hard, but we saw at least three people "jumping in" to the "HD era" while at the same time swimming in the "blue ocean" of "new gen." I couldn't tell you how many middle age gamers—or gamer parents—decided to go Wii60 today, but it was more than I had expected."

Follow the link, it contains pictures too. Also confirms that Wii is no longer sold out in Japan.

Hahahaha.. just saw this on gonintendo, i don't think it really matters, as long as they are selling.. lol

Still , I dont think that this will be enough to sell 360 in Japan . It will probably sell 150k there ( the game at least ) but not more :?

Halo 1 and Halo 2 sold about 100K and 110K respectively in their lifetime in Japan.
I seriously doubt the conditions are any different for Halo 3 to do any better than 150K lifetime.



Heeeeyyyy!!!! <Snap>

 Haha, nice.



"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks

Lol those comments @kotaku:

That 360 is just sitting there... hoping someone takes it home. They aren't buying both

Confirmation by a media source that Wiis aren't sold out in Japan. Just thought I'd note that so the last few people saying that will stop.

Yeah...well, it was bound to happen sometime or another. The doom and gloom people might be coming in soon though...

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
