Congratulations on your baby.

Someone can also type down NPD total hardware sales for the 360 and PS3 and we all know who's dominating in that region.

But this is Japan we're talking about. The Xbox 360 outselling the PS3 in Japan is like steak outselling sushi over there every other week. At this moment in time, we all know Nintendo owns Japan.

we can reverse this entire thread using that logic. All the Sony fans that kept rambling about the Ps3 that outsold the 360 in US by 10-20k means absolutely nothing.

this means nothing

We can't because the Playstation brand is already accepted in NA while the Xbox never had a chance in Japan until now.

so how is selling 10k-20k for months similar to selling 1k a month and 29k once in awhile?

The same thing happened when Halo 3 released in Japan...the 360 sales shot through the roof. Are people forgetting this? Oh and welcome back YellowRose. Sure missed ya girl.

Sales are high because everyone who had a 360 sent it to Microsoft and all they got back was a refurbished Core because Microsoft is so damn cheap and crap.

Nice to see YR back! SW is too quiet without you!

I don't really get the celebration over a couple of weeks of 360 sales boosts in Japan though. Have to say at least MS has made a bit of a dent there this time. Maybe next gen we'll see them crack it after establishing a foothold there, who knows?

I don't get how thats a huge burn. The PS3 was supposed to storm Japan and its outsold the 360 by 1.5 million, only about 3:1? How can you see that as a victory? Both have done terribly there.

[QUOTE="Jack_Bauer07"]Hmm, I guess the lemmings are starved for any good news regarding Japan. This is a nice little bump but it's nowhere near what MGS4 did for the PS3 in June.Yellow_Rose

Didn't do all that much. Told you the vast majority of people waiting to play MGS4 already had their PS3.

*** looks at sig ***

Consevative Leadership, huh? Sure hope you didn't have money in Washington Mutual. :shock:

Socialism: Brought to you by conservative leadership. ;)

Talking about Bush's recent bailout? I don't support Bush one bit and he is far from a conservative regardless of party. I guess I should have underlined Palin as she's far better than Obama or McCain but hey.

Btw, when did this become Politics Wars? Oh right, I guess my opinion on video games is wrong because of my beliefs.:roll:

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.

It's not a victory for either. The point was that 360 is doing anything but whooping ass there.

I think the RPG influx has certainly helped the sales situation over there for the 360.

No-one's calling it a "dead console" apart from a few PS fanboys, way to generalize. Good for the 360 though, I'd be surprised if it does this a third time.

i dont get why lems boast whenever the 360 beats the ps3 in japan. Sure its good news but we are so used to seeing the 360 get low sales 700-2000 units or so that we expect it to go back to that soon enough.

If it stays around-over 10k a week for a while then that would be a big turn around in japan and great news for the future of 360 in japan.

point is PS3 is not the dead console, the 360 is.

Typical. In most parts of Europe, the 360 is outselling the PS3 due to the fact that the PS3 doesn't have alot more than the 360 does for it's prize. It's 6 times as expensive.

Its not about that..is about the 360 being a dead console...that will never be able to outsell the ps3 in japan..

but what im getting at is if the 360 gets out of there 800-2000 a week sales and continues to sell better then normal it will catch the ps3 in japan.

but then i saw a pig fly the other week ;)

i dont think it will outsell the ps3 in japan this gen in japan but the 360 will do alot better then the original xbox did over there without a doubt.

360 is by no means "dead" its like its been in a coma in japan and just woke up a few weeks ago ;)

Ouch. And to believe this was supposed to be the successor to the astronomically popular PlayStation 2 which sold like hotcakes in Japan...

Either way, great work Micrsoft :)
