Nothing really changed, The order is still the same, numbers go a bit down or a bit up etc. Until a new big name game for the 360 hits japan, it'll stay in it's 2.5k-3.5k range. I still think that's better than the original Xbox though. BTW, when does the Elite hit in Japan? I somehow thing that'll help boost sales because of the bigger HDD and more so fo HDMI, I know that Japanese people probably have more HDTVs than anyone else on the planet at this point, so HDMI should help things.

Here's to hoping though.

Hooray GBA and DSphat are both alive! ;O

I'm surprised Mobile Suit Gundam didn't do better.

It's supposed to be pretty good with the wii remote.

It may be a Gundam game but it's still a FPS.

I'm going to take a guess here, but did the PS3 have a new game out that helped pick up its sales? I don't keep track of japanese release dates, but I have to wonder if this is the case.

The rest of still sitting in their respective places, and selling around the same #s more or less for each week.

yup. minna no golf 5 (hot shots golf to us) came out 2 weeks ago and they're also selling a bundle that includes that game.

[gunnerhkjp]

I just stumble onto this site.

05th August 2007

Worldwide Totals:

Console Weekly Total

DS 390,412 46,827,948

Wii 224,511 10,100,355

PSP 130,474 22,368,662

PS3 96,156 4,108,746

360 56,753 10,324,072

If the above is true, Wii will overtake the 360 in total sales within the next couple of weeks.

I had no idea :|

[Nightz]

^ vgchartz isn't really a reliable source for hardware numbers. they seem to pull their numbers out of nowhere. i don't doubt that the wii is about to pass the 360 in sales (if it hasn't already done so), but i wouldn't take that site's numbers as official.

[The Teej]

Didn't Microsoft announce they hit the 10 mil mark a few months ago? If so, why is it STILL on 10 mil?
