Latest Japanese Hardware Sales

[Azusa]

Both the PS3 and 360 are selling badly.

Well i guess when hardware works and keeps working you never need to replace it.

[perochan]

PS2 is still selling like hotcakes!

[Dc'1]

Wow, a lot of people still like Pokemon :|

...

I don't understand this exactly. The 360 is above the PS3 with 0 games in the top 10, beaten by the PS3's 2 games in the top 10. Interesting nation.

Wow thats is 3 weeks in a row that the Xbox 360 has beaten the PS3 in sales! It looks like they are starting to see it as a good enough console to buy with plenty of good games , lets hope it can stay like this for a while to maybe establish itself in Japan!

[The Teej]

I wonder if the XBOX 360 can stay above 10k next week.

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

Yeah the sales have really dropped, but all consoles and game makers are preparing for the Holiday to launch new games.

I would have to say that the xbox has done pretty well the last few weeks despite them dropping in number of sales! Still beating the PS3 in the last week !

[George P Global Moderator]

MS had one great month, that's true. Still going also, but it looks like it'll fall under the ps3 for next week, maybe. heh.

[The Teej]

Quite a few Sony titles in the charts this week.

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

that's incredible for the Nintendo Wii this week. Beating PS2, PS3 and Xbox360 combined!

Xbox360 still beating the PS3 I see. Microsoft needs another RPG in Japan to keep that console going strong

Low numbers again this week. Of course the already announced, but yet to be released, new DS, PSP and PS3 models may be attributed to some of this. PSP-3000 should be in next week's numbers though. However, still another couple of weeks before PS3-80DS3 and DSi arrive in Japan.

Japan just do not want HD gaming :laugh: yet.... anyway.

It's Nintendo land for sure right now.

The hell is the PS2 doing up amongst the PS3/360 so often :laugh:

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Humped again!

Set sail for win!

:cool: :p

[Azusa]

Humped again!

Set sail for win!

:cool: :p

but have you noticed that there are no 360 titles in the top ten?

[Sethos]

but have you noticed that there are no 360 titles in the top ten?

No PS3 titles either, set sail for win :cool:

( :p )

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Nor PS3 titles.

Your point?

edit: Sethos beat me to it.....I fails :(

Fable 2 and Last Remnant should help (Y)

[Azusa]

Nor PS3 titles.

Your point?

edit: Sethos beat me to it.....I fails :(

My point being why is it that they only seem to be buying hardware but no software because its only logical if they are new 360 users that they would also be buying software to go with it....so are those 360's replacements?

Wow IdolMaster 3-5 for PSP...
