PS3 Outsells all other consoles combined in Japan

Link (Edge-online)

After weeks of it dying, it finally comes back.

Of course, GTA4 and LBP released in the same week/month. That might drive sales a bit.

Imma proud of ma boys :D!! god bless sonY!campzor

Really?

On topic: Its about time Sony made a good showing in Japan.

is this due to little big planet.SiKh22

Based on its reported JPN first weeks numbers, I don't think so. LBP had a respectable first week for a new IP on the PS3, but nothing ground breaking in terms of sales.

Also there was the bundle, the release of 80gb and offcourse GTAIV, yes thats right, GTAIII, VC and SA all sold really well there and GTAIV is an even bigger success considering the userbase. Heck GTAIV sold well on the 360 even

Again, it doesnt matter if the PS3 outdoes the 360 for the rest of the gen, what matters is MS holding steady in the region. Last week they sold 6k units, not bad considering its the PS3s big week, though it couldve been down to GTAIV

Uuumm.. the 80GB PS3 (LBP) bundle got release late last week I believe. That's why. XBox 360 did the same thing when their Tales of Vesperia bundle was released. The XBox 360 outsold the PS2, PSP and PS3 all combined one week.

GTAIV sold 33k, almost all 360 owners had bought it.

That's what I'm thinking, but we'll see. The holidays are just around the corner, so it may stay about 10K through the holidays. If FFXIII was bundled with the 80GB PS3, it definitely would.

is this due to little big planet.SiKh22

No it more due to GTA4

It was due to Little Big Planet, GTA IV, and GT Prologue all getting released in one week. That's pretty much going to have to be Sony's new strategy. Release 3 big games a week and the sales will follow.
