PROJECT SYLPHEED

on sale 2006-09-28

Actually, Dead Rising outsold Project Sylpheed for the week. That's not bad considering the game appartently isn't being displayed in retail stores in Japan because of its mature rating. In fact, if it wasn't for the Pokemon games, Dead Rising would've actually cracked the top 10 in software sales in Japan. :o

#12: Dead Rising

#29: Project Sylpheed

And yet, 360 sales only increased 1000 units. I wonder if the other big games coming out will do any better to sell the 360 in Japan.

[gunnerhkjp]

Nintendo raised its sales forecast for its DS to 20 million units during this fiscal year.

20 friggin million!!

I thought the SP had been selling in the high 1,000s but it was the high 2000s. Oops. :blush:

And as Mojo said, Dead Rising came out over there. I guess it was enough to give the 360 a small boost.

small, thats a big boost. almost doubled

has the 360 sold 100,000 yet?

[dnast]

has the 360 sold 100,000 yet?

Yeah, it reached 100,000 in the last week of March. It's probably around the 150,000 mark right now.

It'll be interesting to see if all the hype around BlueDragon will actually pay off or not. When does that get released again?

December 7 in Japan. So it'll be in the charts around mid December.

haha true :D

cant believe how bad the psp is doing heh. being outsold by the ps2!

[gunnerhkjp]

My impression was that PSP was doing as well as the PS2.

The DSL... that's in a world of its own :)

Thanks for posting these; it's very interesting. Even though the 360 isn't doing great it still seems to be increasing it's numbers as awareness grows :)

What out X360, you fell two steps down the stairs!

Nasty to see how many DS are selling over Japan. I guess that the Japanese play with 2 DS at the same time (don't know how, they just do).

[gunnerhkjp]

DS sells to age and gender markets that were unaccessable until it came along.

Even my mother plays games like brain age and tetris.

It is predicted to sell 20 million set this fiscal year, but there are plenty more people without a DS in the targeted market.

What a coup for nintendo.

[Gfunk4life]

i bet the DS out sells the next gen consoles for x mass

which is what they;re hoping to do with the wii.....can't wait to see if it will work

[-T- Member]

Doesn't everyone in Japan own a PS2 by now, i mean honestly why are so many still being sold. Is it people replacing their broken ones, or just buying them for the sake of keeping sony ahead, I can't understand it
