Latest Japanese Hardware Sales

:wacko: I bet you will see FF the next week and you wont see Halo on the list.

So what? It still managed to make it to the top of the list. Don't try taking anything away from it, it's a pretty damn good achievement and you know it.

:rolleyes: and where I said that? I know Halo is big and do well everywhere.

:| Halo fans a little sensitive. :laugh:

To be honest, it was a slow software week all around, so it didn't take much to top the list. Still, not to bad for a 360 game in Japan, I think it's the 2nd or 3rd fastest selling 360 game there.

360 install base in Japan is 410,000 (plus today's numbers).

Not at all, but H3 has done very well in Japan to get to the top of the list and knock off FF from the top. Not going to get into a huge discussion over this, it's really not worth my time.

Alpha, it's a slow week because nobody wants to go up against H3 :rofl:

[AlphaPrime]

Blue Dragon sold over 80k the first few days and sits at around 200k. So I'd say H3 might get to 150k or so.

question! why do we only have a Japanese sales thread ? :p

[AlphaPrime]

Because Japanese sales figures get reported weekly, so it's easier to keep it in one topic. Whereas for America, those sales are only reported monthly, so each month usually gets it's own thread. For Europe we rarely get sales numbers.

ok, makes sense :p

and if i remember correctly, the American stats are not as accurate

i personally dont think any stats like these are accurate

[Ironman273]

I think the difference is that in America Wal-Mart doesn't report their sales and they sell a lot. So that skews the totals by a large amount. In Japan (if I'm not mistaken) all stores report their sales.

Wow PSP still going strong then. This is the 4th week the DS has been under 100k or so right?

5th week now.

There isn't any hot new DS game to help push new sales I figure. And it's all about games really. Just wait for Nintendo to make yet another pokemon game and then we'll see where DS sales go.

[SIE]

Seems Halo 3 helped to push a few 360 sales, nice to see MS gaining a bit of ground there.

[sn00pie]

Amazing, PSP is beating the DSL in sales. I thought I'd never see the day. GO SONY! :D haha

[macrosslover]

well I think everybody in the country already has a ds by now so I'm not suprised the numbers are going down, plus the psp "lite" is new so it's the new factor of it.

[Jimmy0]

Also they brang out an FF title, which no doubt sold a fair few PSP's. :)

I thought it'd be pretty obvious that it wouldn't be in the Top 10 this week. Although I at least expected it to be in the Top 30. Looks like it would have sold just a few thousand copies this week then.

Japan isn't big on FPS games, I thought this was well known already?

PS3 finally outselling PS2? (Not by much)

I always thought the PS2 was still doing better in Japan.

Still, the numbers are nothing to be happy out. Combined sales of 108,163 for Sony though.
