Anybody see a coincidence here?

Sadly - that's actually through 12 weeks for them. I stated 'only 10 weeks' for the Wii 'cause it's only been available in Japan for that long...

No. Xbox 360 has only sold that many units in 14+ months.Telekill

:lol: Now, now - let's not be cruel. The 360 has sold 340k over it's lifetime...    ...but since MS fanboys already concede Japan as a lost cause, there's no need to push the issue. This was aimed more at Sony (and, in particular, those who seem to believe the Sony-spin)...

Errr....What's the coincidence?ihatebugers

Uhhh...   ...that during the same week Mr. Harrison claims this as 'teh best Sony launch ever', the facts (and role-reversal between the PS2/PS3 and GCN/Wii) become evident and completely contradict what he states?

That's not coincidental, that's just Phil Harrison being the nutcase that he is. If anything it's closer to irony.

I advise you look up coincidence.

LOL!! Well, a nutcase he may be, but I do, in fact, know the definition of coincidence. You don't find it coincidental that he made that statement immediately following the typical 'launch window' of 12 weeks making for a useful comparison thread?

Once he made that comment, I decided to research the numbers and, by coincidence, happened to notice that he was wrong - by a mile...

It's no secret that MS products don't do well in Japan. The fact that people need to keep going back to it is rather sad though. Puckhog04

Thank you - so many defensive people around here seem to think this was directed at the poor MS sales, but it obviously wasn't...    ...sheesh!!  ;)

i do c that, and thats y im so confused y sony fans seem to think ps3 is blowing away the wii

cause its not

tmgwarrior72

What confuses me is that you and other Nintendo fanboys think that ANYONE is claiming the PS3 is outselling the Wii.  Nobody has ever made that claim and I dare you to link to one single person that has.

Could care less about Japan to be honest. I don't like their typical games.FearlessSpirit
