Is 360 dead in Japan?

This weeks sales figures DSi, 66,416 (125,524) PS3, 57,056 (207,888 PSP, 19,572 (42,117 Wii, 14,556 (32,643) DS Lite, 9,206 (14,765) Xbox 360, 4,927 (9,541) PS2 ,3,100 (6,788 http://www.edge-online.com/news/japan-weekly-ps3-sales-drop-to-57000 PS3 out sold Wii and 360 combined, 360 has flatlined and there seems no way back. If I was MS I would just cancel TGS and call it a day, game over. The console has taken such a beating from Sony in the last few months it's clinically dead. MS are just keeping it alive on a ventilator.Nick_851

Nope...Still going strong. Doing better every gen MS...Nice to see other countries opening up to our gaming ways.

5,000 a week is more than 250,000 a year. Why would you think the 360 was dead? Ok it's never going to sell the numbers of Wiis or PS3 but it's still sold more than 1,000,000 in Japan and that's a healthy enough installed user base expecially for any japanese-centric games they may release on the console.

PS3 sales will also drop back off again for a month or two then peak again over December.

So many people have said this.
Its simply an accepted fact that the 360 doesn't sell alot in jpn, but it SELLS its not dead if it was dead it would be 0 units sold every week.
yet its consistantly in the thousands, I don't think i've ever seen it drop below a 1000 *could be wrong*.

P.S: so much for ps3's dominance with price drop and slim.
Japanese PS3 sales fell by over 90,000 units :lol:

Teh fad is over.

Next week is ToV debut on PS3 we will see how much it will do compared to 360 version and how in will boost PS3 sales :P.

lol it's funny to see lemmings critisize PS3 sales even though it's the second best selling system over there, they are trying to put the focus of the lousy X360 sales.

X360 can't even beat a last gen console over there I think we should stop having hopes of seeing the X360 do good I mean they just had a price cut and still nobody wants one.

It's a battle to the end to see which console stands out on top the X360 or PS2 LOL
