Xbox 360 sales (6,690) continue to dominate Sony's PS3 in Japan as Microsoft's winning streak races to five straight weeks in a row against their bitter rivals. Moreover, PlayStation 3 sales are now falling perilously low (beating out last week's lowest ever recorded sales tally) with only 5,899 Japanese consumers purchasing the next-gen console. With over a month of trailing behind Microsoft's console in their own backyard, this no longer qualifies as an anomaly for Sony and surely some deep, thought provoking questions need to be asked over at Sony HQ. Just what the hell is going on in the Land Of The Rising Sun? Hit jump for rest of the weekly sales stats.
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.
Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.
Wait for 80GB release and LBP.
A difference of 791 units!!
How will Sony come back from this devastating defeat?? /sarc
I have to admit that 5 weeks is about 4 weeks more than I figured MS would outsell Sony on Sony's home turf.
791 additional units. Then again, its 5 weeks in a row! Its a pretty simple formula if you ask me. Price + RPG = win
Again, 6,690 units sold is still peanuts compared to Wii.
Let's see.. sold 800 more than the PS3 this week. Lowest sales of PS3 ever. Xbox 360 sold less than the week prior to it. Hmm... Anyone ever consider the fact that the 80GB LBP package is due out in a few days? Once that hits the shelves it will fly off the shelves and then what is the headline going to read? Sony PS3 outsells Xbox 360 at TWICE the price!!! Must be a conspiracy! I await with the onslaught.
Oh well, PS3 will beat 360 next week ;-)
How many time have I heard that.
Can't wait to see if 360 can make it 2 months.
