JAPAN: 360 sales success continues

Microsoft’s console outsells PS3 for the third week in a row whilst DS continues to dominate

The unlikely resurgence of Xbox 360 in Japan seems to be continuing with news that Microsoft’s machine has outsold Sony’s PS3 for the third week in a row in the territory, though Nintendo’s hardware pairing is still bossing the hardware charts.

Figures from Media Create show that Xbox 360 sold 8,271 units in the week ending October 5th, ahead of PS3’s sales of 7,232 – though both machines saw sales dip.

Xbox 360 recently managed to outsell PS3 in the monthly hardware sales battle, too.

Nintendo is still dominating hardware sales in the region, however, with the DS shifting 42,385 units and the Wii 25,330. Sony’s PSP notched an impressive 26,045 unit sales, whilst PS2 bettered both PS3 and Xbox 360 by shifting 8,618 machines.

Its amazing that as soon as there is a tiny bit of good news for Sony all the PS3 fanboys come out and attack the 360.

As soon as there is some good news for the 360 again PS3 fanboys come out and attack the 360.

Whilst they are busy being fanboys to me it kinda shows their system of choice must be that bad for them to be able to waste precious time being childish instead of spending time with the system instead.

I own a 360 and Wii and have to say this month is looking amazing for the 360 and then next month too but I am sure the PS3 fanboys will still be on this site and many others attacking all the games etc as per usual.

I have owned both a PS1 and a PS2, and yes, i did plan on purchasing a PS3, but when it comes to gaming, why should there be any brand loyalty. If the 360 offers the best value and has the games i want then i will grab the box.

I used to be a big Playstation fan, if someone had said to me 2 years ago that 360 would be my next gen console of choice I would have l laughed at them.

Yet I still haven't seen anything from Sony that will get me to buy a PS3 yet, Gran Turismo 5 is the only game I can think of that would make me want one!

LBP looks good but its not something im going to splash out £299 to play!

Sonys biggest mistake is losing all those exclusives that have helped build the Playstation brand over the last 2 generations.

Im probably the only 360 owner that see's this as a bad thing. Been spoon-fed Manga-orientated japanese crap since the megadrive as a 12yr old. If success in japan means we are going to get even more generic "mournful-amnesiac-spiky-haired-hero-meets-people-who-join-him-on-a-quest-to-save-the-world-get-revenge-discover-his-true-destiny-and-regain-his-humanity-the-main-villain-who-killed-his-family/girlfriend/stole his car keys/changed coke to pepsi-is-in-fact-his-brother-seperated-at-birth" RPG's - Please keep them over there . . . . . . LOL.

i dont blame anyone for pusing their product in a huge territory like japan, but i wont be buying any of the games, dislike rpgs, and i hate tekken, sony can keep that, i dont want it !! sony will more than likely give up soon as 360 dominated TSG, 360 is cheaper, better games, more choice, and soon with wii style avatars !! cant beat that

Diluted doses of sarcasm, irony, or humour don't go far on this site, do they? Although twisting a topic to satisfy rabid flurries of insecure fanboyism do . . . . . . . .
