Wait wasn't the price cut announced on the 18th?   Shouldn't the PS3 be outselling the 360 by a large margin?


flshback to profs thread...



It is not strange.

DS, PSP and X360 up because there were holiday in Japan
Wii only up a bit because it lost its MH3 effect (if not because of holiday it might drop lot)
PS3 is hard to find and everyone waiting for Slim/price cut but still up a little

It's not that PS3 sold less than previous weeks (they sold more than last week), there is an actual bump in 360 sales.

Weird.

ps3 actually sold more this week then the previous week, but the 360 had a big boost.  Maybe some japanese retailer was running some kind of promotion?



Maybe because the 360 in Japan has a great line up of Japanese games that people like.

PS3 was basically sold out over most of japan. The japanese are also very very picky with their money. I suspect magna carta 2 had something to do with it, even though the game is pretty bad.

the ps3 still sold more than it did the week before.  Also, magna carta 2 came out the week before, you would think the hardware surge would of been then.

Have you played Maga Carta II? Its not bad. No bad reviews. So?



lolz the ps3 price cut did nothing

j/k



So, why did 360 see a nearly 70% increase in sales?

Any Japan oriented games released?

Everything else looks normal, just a 360 jump. I mean there were no 360 games in the top 10. Interesting.
