Latest Japanese Hardware Sales

[magik]

It's nice to see that even a title like DOAX2 boosts some 360 sales. It will be interesting to see what Blue Dragon will do for sales...

[Sheppard]

Itll just do the same again, bump them up a few thousand then it will return back to normal, Microsoft really have to try harder than get the odd japanese orientated game out there.

^ I don't know how long it'll last, but there should be a significant boost of sales (at least compared to any previous releases of 360 games) when Blue Dragon is released. With a Blue Dragon bundle that doesn't cost much more than a Wii with no game (it'll be around $250 USD) and the game being only 2nd to FFXIII on Famitsu's Most Wanted list, the 360 should have its best sales week since the launch window last year even if it doesn't mean much in the long run.

[dnast]

360 will prob be 500 times more today... Blue Dragon just came out, and seems like there was alot of hype overseas with that game.

[dnast]

According to 1up I guess some people waited overnight for the Blue Dragon bundles. :o

^ wow, now that is surprising, definitely. I'm sure the next sales reports that will take into account Blue Dragon will definitely be very positive in 360's light. :yes:

[Ji@nBing]

That's cool. I'd love to see the 360 start to take off in Japan. It's really a great system.

[maxsquared]

Well, I guess, in Japan ppl probably p**ed off with PS3, and to be honest PS3 and XBox aren't that different, then ppl just start buying XBox.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Wow, excellent turnout for the 360 :)

I like the BlueDragon logo on the front of the box :cool:

You'd think the Japanese would hold out on PS2's now that the PS3 is out even if it is in short supply, but apparently not...
