So the "dead console" outsold the PS3 in Japan once again.

http://kotaku.com/5055068/xbox-360-outsells-ps3-in-japan-again

· Nintendo DS - 61,242

· Wii - 29,921

· PSP - 28,674

· Xbox 360 - 13,777

· PlayStation 3 - 8,156

• PlayStation 2 - 7,720

Fun FACT: The 360 has outsold the PS3 in Japan on a weekly basis more time than the original Xbox outsold the Gamecube there.

This has already been posted today, good for the ol' 360.

Do you come out of hiding only when things look up for 360, or what?

PS3 is getting beat in it's own country for the last two weeks. :lol:

I take back everything I said about Japanese people not buying great American products. :D

I haven't seen you in awhile Yellow_Rose.

I still wonder about your gender, with a name like Yellow_Rose.

That being said, I don't care about sales. But hey, great for MS.

If guess it would be 'hiding" if I actually took the whole system wars thing seriously.

Real shame i don't.

But i agree, good for the ol' 360 ;)

Me having a baby back in February, which is why I haven't been here in a while, should tip you off.

She's a treasure BTW :)

What do you have to say about the 360 getting beat this year on their American turf by the PS3 for about 8 months so far?

The only reason the 360 is selling is because it is dirt cheap.

did some big 360 game recently come out there that's driving sales? shoeman12

Tales of Vesperia (awesome game BTW) and Infinite Undiscovery (not so awesome but they seem to like it.)

Plus the price cut seemed to help.

Both those numbers are terrible though. Even for Japan.goblaa

Japan is pretty much an handheld country now. Been that way for sometime now.

But as you can see, 360 sales are going down and PS3's are slightly going up. Expect everything to go back to normal next week now that everybody has had their ToV and IU. Its amazing how much one jrpg can moves consoles in Japan. Congrats to Microsoft.WhiteKnightXIII

By a whopping 103 units, but that's not the point. The 360 was never suppose to be doing this to the PS3.

And I seem to recall things were suppose to go back to normal this week. What happened????? :shock:

whoa yellow rose..

havent seen you in..what...6 months?

And what happened at the last NPD? Which was BEFORE the price cut BTW.

And it took the 360 almost 3 years to become dirt cheap. The longest for any console ever.

Mi hijita has kept me a little busy amongst other things.

Didn't sales drop by half though?Ragnarok1051

And still outselling the PS3. Imagine that :shock:

That's what I was going to ask. No where to be found when the PS3 was outselling the 360. Oh well, I don't work for either company, but I own both systems so if one is outselling the other it doesn't bother me :)

[QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"]Didn't sales drop by half though?Yellow_Rose

So by next week the PS3 should outsell it. Is two weeks really that big a deal to celebrate this much over?

No but should cows bring up Japan ALL the time like it's there saving grace. I mean they sold what roughly 1.5 million more console in almost 2 years than the 360.. I thought Japan was Sony country..and I'm sure this was the reason the thread was created.

Why am I not surprised :lol:

Becase of the unlimted amount of software available for the 360, and because of Xbox live, i would have my 360 fixed as often as i needed because of those two things.

And BTW I have never had a problem with my Elite!!;) Not every 360 console has problems ya know :shock:

Same as the last JRPGs that were released on the 360.

Which reminds me, don't you find it funny the 360 is so many JRPG's?

i don't think this gen has enough rpgs to being with. o.0

The lemmings must have missed you, Yellow_Rose. Welcome back. :)

Them's some awfully pathetic numbers there. It's not so much that the 360 is doing well, just the PS3 is doing worse. :shock: Who is the least pathetic? DO BATTLE!
