PS3 will not be #1 in NA so get use to it Sony Fanboys. :lol:
and xbox 360 won't EVER be number 1 in Japan or PAL regions. And BTW PS3 will eventually outsell the 360 in NA as well. get used to it. PS3 haters.What the hell is up with these big avatars??Riviera_PhantomDon't know..but I'm glad for them. Excuse me while I take the source pic and resize it again for mine.
Holy crap the PSP sold well. I wonder what the reason was for the spike in sales?WasdieMonster Hunter Portable 2. Raked in some pretty software sales too.
yea thats really good. I wonder how close the sales would be if the psp and ds were closer priced. Some people love to talk crap about the psp, yet its a 100 bucks more then the ds and its still selling well. I wonder how well the ds would sell if it was priced at 200? Yea exactly......Bren128
http://www.vgcharts.org/japweekly.php?date=39138Thats a huge jump for the PSP,it even outsold the Wii.Japan seems to be handheld crazy.
DS 146,250 (+5%)
PSP 96,750 (+187%)
Wii 76,250 (+15%)
PS3 20,250 (-5%)
PS2 17,750 (-3%)
360 5,250 (-5%)
GBA 1,750 (0%)
GC 500 (0%)
The top game was Monster Hunter Freedom 2 for PSP selling 755,500 copies in its first week. If PSP was dead like alot of the fanboys here say then Capcom just brought it back to life.

How did the PSP suddenly start doing well in Japan?????EmperorMetalmanMonster Hunter Portable 2. The first was big for the PSP in japan as well.

Yeah, the Gamecube beat the PS2 and Xbox in sales because it was the cheapest console. The DS is the same way; it's outselling the PSP because it's the cheapest.
Oh, wait.
you know what the difference is between the cube and the psp? the psp is actually a success, consumers have shown interest in the psp. So your logic fails. Im just saying the psp is selling pretty good for being 200$.[QUOTE="echelon"]http://www.vgcharts.org/japweekly.php?date=39138Temporarily. :) Need I remind you how much the 360 sold the first week Blue Dragon was released? :P only like 35 thousand. not that big a deal.

Famitsu numbers are out thats what there based on if you dont believe VG charts. So if there wrong famitsu is wrong. There will be slight differences between famitsu and MC but its usually not that big.Â

Im just saying the psp is selling pretty good for being 200$. I think it's funny that it's still used as a mark against the DS (same goes for Wii). "Bu-bu-but....it's cheap!! It's the only reason they sell!" It isn't Nintendo's fault Sony priced themselves out of first place. If they're going to make their systems expensive, they better make them well worth the price of admission in the eyes of most consumers. It isn't happening right now.How did the PSP suddenly start doing well in Japan?????EmperorMetalmanIt was never doing bad in the first place, just not as good as DS
The only reason PSP sales are going up is because everybody already has a DS :PflinnhaIf only that were true. That would be great news for Sony/
[QUOTE="Trading_Zoner"]I wonder why exactly?Dreams-Visionsthat's what I'm wondering. Its been said before but Monster Hunter Portable 2 is the reason the PSP sales have spiked.
Um Sony, Nintendo, or MS need to secure a Monster Rancher game exclusive to their console and fast.BlackbondJust wait and see what the charts look like when Dragon Quest IX launches. ;)

It isn't happening right now. the point of my post is that the psp is selling well for being priced that much. im in no way using the ds as being cheap against it. However too many of u discredit the psp because the ds outsells it . The psp sales are actually pretty good. The ds sales are just amazing.[QUOTE="mjarantilla"][QUOTE="echelon"]http://www.vgcharts.org/japweekly.php?date=39138Temporarily. :) Need I remind you how much the 360 sold the first week Blue Dragon was released? :P only like 35 thousand. not that big a deal.

Only 15 thousand more than your "Worldwide Console" that month.
The Wii is gonna destroy the PS3 in Japan
The 360 IS destroying the PS3 in the US
And European demand, other than the hardcore diehards is pathetic. PS3 is destined for third place, fourth if anyone else launches a console anytime soon....
Even on an excellent week PSP cannot match the power of Nintendo DS on an average weekaxt113fanboy, ok how is new 1 release an excellent week for psp where the ds has like 4. if the psp had 4 like ds it would be a good psp week.
Well, it's nice to finally see the PSP being actual competition, but we all know that next week, its sales are gonna drop 150% if not more.glitchgeemanHow would that work?

This should put to rest all of that "psp is dead" nonsense.
Its beating the Wii. Thats just hilarious.

 i f Xbox 360 were successful in japan it would be selling 35gs a week WITHOUT a huge game like BD. the fact is that it's a horrible failure in japan. Wii is going to destroy everything in all territories there is no denying that. Also, did you know that PS3 is selling faster then Xbox 360 was in NA when it was 3 months old? at 600 dollar price point AND with next to no games. AND PS3 has competition while Xbox 360 was by itself. And when ps3 is launched in PAL regions it will out pace it there as well.[QUOTE="jaysin1414"]Temporarily. :) Need I remind you how much the 360 sold the first week Blue Dragon was released? :P only like 35 thousand. not that big a deal.[QUOTE="Trading_Zoner"][QUOTE="mjarantilla"][QUOTE="echelon"]http://www.vgcharts.org/japweekly.php?date=39138

While the ds only went up 5% and still remains king.
uh.. the only big game this year for Japan just came out and sold 750k in one week.. actually the numbers are quite dissapointing... when Pokemon launched DS sales were about 5 to 6 times of that numberThis should put to rest all of that "psp is dead" nonsense.
Its beating the Wii. Thats just hilarious.
