It will affect the Western and Eastern market.

[QUOTE="FantasySports02"]Microsoft should just buy Capcom for the dagger.too_much_eslim

Capcom has franchises that are huge in Japan, especially Monster Hunter and Resident Evil

what the fudge is going on there? This isn't a temporary thing, it's been like this for a good amount of time, and sales have actually picked up since the release of tales and infinite undiscovery have gone by.

Really weird. Guess we cant make fun of the 360 now seeing as how its outselling the ps3 by a good bit

I never expected to ever see Xbox sell well in japan but i guess all the RPGs help. And the fact that its like half (dont get into technicalities i know its not) the size of the PS3 helps too.

MS really should have big annoucments at E3 if they want to keep this up, like afew new JRPG.

It just needed Japanese Role Playing Games to sell in Japan. :P :D

well done lemmings. You managed to second place for one month in Japan, you must be so proudblushield

Why do people get so shocked when stuff like this happens? If you decrease the price of a console that much of course people will buy it!bobbetybob

we are talking about Japan here.... This is not supposed to be happening...

The 360 has more JRPG's than the PS3 does and now it's super cheap, of course it's gonna happen. I reckon it'll gradually slow down until a new JRPG comes out where it might spike a bit then drop again.

This really is a big deal for you guysd isn't it?

OMG you guys! We managed to scrape through to second place for one month in our weakest market!

360's been getting pwned this year in every major territory, you think a slight bump in Japan is going to make a difference?

Microsoft's commercials and game selections for Japan at the beginning of the generation were awful. They've put a lot of time and money into improving their image and product selections, which has finally started to pay off. When MS launched the Xbox, their goal was to put DirectX into the living room globally, it's a long-term vision, but we've definitely seen the early signs of success. Looking forward a decade from now, it will be interesting to see how they turn LIVE into a platform independant service (or more accurately, have it become a platform in and of itself without regard to hardware).

just a question, which continent is the biggest market? i remember reading somewhere that it's europe but i could be wrong...ozmatic77

Europe is the biggest market. The PS3 doesn't exactly sell well here though.

actually the ps3 does sell well there (excluding the uk), but xbox 360 is doing better in sales by a years gap.

The PS3 has sold less than the 360 had in it's first 2 years.

Let me explain something to you lemmings.

PS3 has a smaller install base than the 360. PS3 is outselling the 360 in every territory this year. By selling MORE than the 360 it is gaining ground (however slowly)

A) why do you care?

B) why is this important?

C) Does this mean more games?

D) no it doesn't

It has outsold the 360 this year by months in the U.S and you can't forget the sells that MSG4 got in Japan.

On topic: MS is advertising like crazy in Japan and its paying off to some extent. IU and Tales provided a good boost for Sept. (even though the PS3 had nothing to appeal to them, I thought it MS should have captitolized a little more). Nov should be a good month with The Last Remaant maybe, it depends on if Japan wants to wait for the PS3 version, which is one reason why I think they haven't even annouced an estimation on the release date for the PS3 version.

I overall think MS could do a better job then what they have been doing. TGS for them should be a make it or break thing for them, and unless they get the "big" one hint FF XIII or Dragon Quest in Japan, (or KH which I think is a series they should be gunning for) its gonna be get all you can while you can. I mean MGS4 sold well over thier and its not as mainstream as FF.

Unless they put out a JRPG every week, don't expect this to keep up.

Oh yea, that would be GREAT for gaming....

20 k thats it? I thought it would be alot more cuz all the posters bragging about it were treating it as the second coming of christ.

this constant stream of good jRPG is good for the 360 hopefully because of recent success more game will come to the 360 from japan.too_much_eslim

How many bloody people are there in Japan. surely it will get to the stage where every single person has a Wii. Still over 100k sales monthly is ridiculous!pseudocaesar

Lolwut? Nintendo DS has 3x as many units in japanese homes and it sold 233k compared to Wii's 100k :P

but the graphics!!! /sarcasm

I'm actually considering the ds for my rpg needs. There's only 4 rpgs i want from the ps3 and 360 combined.. can u ****ing believe that? That's a disgrace lol. From the wii it's currently 3 rpgs. I hope next gen they gather their **** up. I want a good story with good gameplay. I don't really care for cutting edge graphics.
