Yeap. ;)

[Gfunk4life]

xbox360 doesnt need to sell better then the wii or PS3 as long as it sells better then the xbox. if that happens that will be great. console are selling like crazy this gen. i think this will keep up for a long time. do you guys think that last planet will help it sales. but it x mass time so xbox360 should sell alot more.

[dagamer34]

It's good to see that they are finally realizing that they need to develop games for a market in order to get sales. The good thing is that most games that would be good for the Japanese market (RPGs) would be readily accepted in the Western market, Microsoft just might have a thing going here.

[Azusa]

i know tell me about it lol. I keep saying high defination hentai games will save the 360 in Japan...apparently no one is listening to me :D

not rly they are better played on PC if you wana know what will save the 360 you gotta look at whats sold at Comiket

Yeap its a start. They need to keep the odd RPG coming out every so often though. One game won't win over Japan in the long run :yes:

Blue Dragon is gone from the Top 30 after just 4 days. Zelda is also no where to be seen.

[The Teej]

Wtf, where'd Zelda and Blue Dragon gone? I thought the Japanese practically worshipped these two games.

Nintendo and Microsoft must be pretty disappointed about this. Well, Microsoft moreso then Nintendo, seen as Nintendo dominates the top 10 charts 9:1

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

suprising uprising of the xbox360.. where is zelda on this software sales list?

i see nintendo DS is bigger then consoles over in Japan.. thats crazy

It's crazy how quickly Zelda and Blue Dragon fell off the charts. It's almost unfair how much the DS is dominating in every area in Japan.

[KoL Veteran]

@ dnast: Not only in Japan. The DS is dominating everywhere.

Hmmm the PS3 have sold around 310,000 in Japan and looks like there is no talledega nights in newer versions in NA, so that's more than 400,000 in NA. If Sony can ship more (looks like they are not having problems with that now) I think its possible that they can sell 1,000,000 this year. Of all the crap that Sony talk maybe this one will be true hehe.

[The Teej]

Bloody hell, even more DS Lite Units sold then last week. This is probably Nintendo's most profitable year since the early nineties >>

I think your right, after this gen is over nintendo is going to have a lot of cash on hand to invest in their next console(s)

[MGS4-SS]

It was kind of new to see the X360 in the #4 spot, but one week and it went right back down. When will Lost Planet arrive?

will Nintendo DS out beat Sony's PS3, Microsoft's Xbox360, and Nintendo's very own Wii? that would be a sight to see.... :huh:

[Xerus]

According to early reports, it already has. 500,000 DSlites, and 300,000 Wiis is the rumor right now. We should know in a day or two for certain.

I don't think those are unofficial. I think those are year numbers not week.

EDIT: Oh I'm talking about the last numbers.
