Japan: Weekly Hardware Sales

For the latest weekly hardware sales figures, hit jump.

[TheMART]

OUCH the PS3 fell back AGAIN it´s about the lowest number since launch on just over 16k... The 360 at allmost 4k is still selling 25% of the PS3 numbers. Which is huge in Japan.

Wii keeps selling 3 to 4 times as much as the PS3. Uh oh Sony things aren´t looking bright at all if you also get pwned in North America in february with 130k PS3 sales compared to 240k 360 sales. Wonder what March will bring there. Bet the same picture. As will for Europe after the launch where only fanboys bought a PS3 for a whopping 600 EUro´s

[ben hates you]

Since xbox was born it has been a shooter console just now how many years later there trying to expand but those games u listed arent even out yet.

[Shaka2K6]

Hahahaha that picture rocks, but anyways Japan who cares about Japan its world wide sales that really matters.

not like sales make a system more fun or something but u know.

sales news.
real news or flame bait? u decide.

[gta_cb]

probadly flame bait, BUT still good to know how MS is doing in a place it was thought to do really bad.

[Ban Me]

Touche... this has "bait" written all over it.

Surely for your average gamer, playing games is more important than sales figures? To the end user they mean nothing. Fair enough the console with the biggest user base will see more games and support but in all honesty, none of the 3 consoles are going to "fail" and as such they're all going to get great games and good support.

Arguing over stuff like this is pointless. Just enjoy whatever console you own and be happy that others are enjoying theirs.

I'm only posting this because I'm super bored at work btw.

[Odiah]

Microsoft needs to start taking Japan seriously as a market if they want to get a real place in this console war.

[eques judicii]

if you compare these sales to what the original xbox was selling in its second year they are consistently selling 2-3 times as many units. Its nothing compared to nintendo or even sony, but it is a vast improvement over last gen. They also are getting a lot more japanese developer support.

[Says you]

Hasnt change at all and probably will stay the same.

[BIGBAER]

Incremental improvements, even small ones, are significant if continued for any lenght of time. The 360 is trending upwards in Japan. Slowly, agreed, but upwards none the less.

I expect even greater movement in the months to come. Upwards.

[Shaka2K6]

Japan is pretty weak its a really small island and it only has like a million people USA alone triples that so why is Japan sales important for us US gamers we need to know.

[ITR]

Without Japan we wouldn't have Nintendo or Sony consoles.
No Japanese owned company wants to lose face in Japan.
Losing face in Japan means starting over again.
It happened to Nintendo over the N64 and it looks to be happing to Sony now with the PS3.
