360°

Latest Japanese Hardware Chart

The calm before the storm. Sales seem to be a repeat of last week with no major changes, DSL and PSP down, Wii and PS3 up, 360 down 50%. The next few weeks we are sure to see these numbers rise quite substantially, especially Wii as Super Mario Galaxy is about to launch

AnalFace6021d ago (Edited 6021d ago )

hi marty boy, i want sex god damn it! ya?

Kuest6021d ago (Edited 6021d ago )

just happened.

i feel like I just stepped in the twilight zone... "the mart" really is a rock star celebrity!

Spike476021d ago

wow the 360 is just dead in japan.

I mean this was the 360's peak, and all it could do was just come a lil bit close to the ps3 sales just to fall 50 percent down again.

that's sad.

I think ms might abandon japan fully lol.

they better hope they don't lose europe, cause then they're in a huge problem.

ruibing6021d ago

It's only two hopes right now are Beautiful Katamari (looks like an upscaled version of the PS2 releases) and Ace Combat 6. The following week's charts should be interesting to see if some exclusively bought games can help the 360.

"wow the 360 is just dead in japan."
Xbox 360 is doing better in Japan (the 2nd largest market) than the PS3 is doing in America (largest market).

"I mean this was the 360's peak, and all it could do was just come a lil bit close to the ps3 sales just to fall 50 percent down again."

MS has announced an impending price cut. And like the slow in PS3 sales only to be followed by a peak, it is evident that the Xbox 360 is slowed before that price reduction.

"I think ms might abandon japan fully"
Don't count on it. Xbox 360 is being outsold by PS3 2.1:1 (ish) in Japan. The PS3 is being outsold by Xbox 360 by over 5:1 in USA.

By your logic, it is *FAR* more likely that Sony would pull the PS3 from America before MS would leave Japan.

"they better hope they don't lose europe, cause then they're in a huge problem"
Doubtful. MS also winning in the 3rd largest market (and dominating in the UK (the largest of the EU markets)).

You've got a lot to learn about the situation. The PS3 is the won being dominated in a world wide hardware basis. Not to mention the software sales are tiny and the developers are in open rebellion.

I'd suggest you stock up on all the BetaRay discs you can before your PS3 ends up being replaced by the PS4.

Spike476021d ago

wow the ps3 is gaining on the wii.

the difference now is not 7 to 1 or 5 to 1 or 2 to 1, just 7,000.

wii is just gonna tear things up with mario.

ruibing6021d ago

Yeah, the main problem with the wii is the lack of big titles. I guess with their limited production capabilities and predicted demands, they thought they might as well wait until 2008 for their other two big titles. I think Mario Galaxy should do pretty well.

Foliage6020d ago

Now consider how the PS3 is about double the price of the Wii.

And if I'm not mistaken the PSP is somewhere around double the price of the ds.

It sort of puts things in perspective a bit.

jeeg6021d ago

360's sales went down due to Elites sold out during the previous week. I anticipate another spark during sometime November when they have more elites

Jandre026021d ago

yes of course!! cuz the japanese wont buy a 360 unless they get to spend more money on it? too funny. elite is a waste of money

pilotpistolpete6021d ago

Now, now, Jandre02, calm down. He has a point

I'm sure if they has a load full of elites, they could of broke 3,100 if not the 3,200 mark.

ruibing6021d ago

But then again Sony will have price cut, the new 40GB, and the silver models to satisfy people a little low on cash, already has a PS2, or need a more sexy color, respectively. Sony is not going to loose Japan to 360 until the titles coming from the Mystwalker studio, funded by MS, becomes big and successful like Square Enix, Level 5, or Tri-Ace. MS's two big hopes are Infinite Discovery and Lost Odyssey to against White Knight Chronicles, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and Final Fantasy XIII, if we are only talking about RPGs.

sonarus6021d ago

if wii sales dont pick up i predict sony will surpass them with the release of the new 40GB.

The DS have seen a big decline in sales if I remember they used to sell around +120.000 now they have been around 70-80.000, in the other hand the PSP seem to be going back to its usual 50-60.000

the most surprising number are the PS3s with 17.000 when before they barely got passed the 10.000, its almost doubling sales in the region

It would be interesting to see the PS3 sales when more games come out in Japan

jackdoe6021d ago

Especially when a monster game like FFXIII comes out. It will be a definite system pusher over there, which is why Sony is so adamant about keeping it an exclusive.

KINGDRAMA6021d ago

cuz everyone AND their grandma has a ds

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC2h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer3h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6022h ago(Edited 2h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya40m ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde32m ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx23m ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro7h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B5h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21835h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh5h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia5h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins5h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal4h ago

The first game was the best imo.

How long until they get sued and it gets taken down? I say a month or 2

PRIMORDUS1d 1h ago

Sued for what? It's just an emulator no ROMs are with it. ROMs are easy to get anyway, but with iPhone you can't just copy and paste like Android unless it's jail broken I think. Anyway Nintendo should be more concerned with their ROMs up to torrent for years for all of their concoles, but then again they can't do nothing about it, they never will and I love it. 🤣

NotoriousWhiz22h ago

As long as it isn't emulating the Switch, it'll be fine.

RonnySins23h ago

Naaah! Don't want to waste time emulating on iPhone.

Knightofelemia22h ago

Won't belong before Nintendo bangs on Apple's door to have the emu removed. Like I say you take down one six more take it's place. Problem is people are putting emu's on such stupid platforms. The good emus are the ones not on stupid platforms like a red target. The good emu's are word of mouth and keep a low profile.
