Media Create Japan: 360 really didn't beat Wii; still beat PS3 though |
Ó
Earlier this week, Enterbrain published the recent hardware sales figures for Japan, with the Xbox 360 surpassing both the Wii and PS3 in weekly sales ending September 14. Today, we hear of the numbers from Media Create.
Turns out pigs weren't flying after all. Probably just a hop and a skip for the pigs - not flying.
According to Media Create's data, the Xbox 360 did outsell the PS3 for the previous week, however, it didn't have enough to beat the Wii - the 360 was actually just shy of a thousand in sales. Here are Mediat Create's numbers:
- DS Lite: 63,859
- PSP: 30,156
- Wii: 29,686
- Xbox 360: 28,188
- PS3: 8,053
- PS2: 7,669
Actually, Microsoft's console had much oomph into it this week - thanks to a) that new 60GB model, b) a pricecut across all Xbox 360 SKUs, c) stock replenishment, and d) Square Enix's Infinite Undiscovery - that it's already up there rubbing elbows with the PSP's numbers too.
Over at Media Create's software charts, we also see some substantial movement. The top four titles are actually debuting games - entering the charts for the first time and getting high ranks at the get go:
- Pokemon Platinum (Nintendo): 963,273
- Quiz Magic Academy DS (Konami): 119,134
- Infinite Undiscovery (Square Enix): 90,288
- One Piece Unlimited Cruise: Episode 1 (Namco Bandai): 61,009
- Rhythm Tengoku Heaven (Nintendo): 55,772

Hum...so even during an up swing it still didn't beat the Wii. That's sad actually.
So what do you have to say now Mr. Common Douche Bag? Got any douchy things to say now?

DMN To be honest I AM a little worried for PS3 I mean I kno the 360 price cut can only be temporary but hey a bland ass 360 for 200 less than a Wii just a little worried we got SHT up our sleave too this Holiday
who is to say this is anymore accurate than the previous sales figures?
find another source to agree with one or the other then state it like it might be fact...
ISO:
pot calling kettle, come in kettle...
Xis:
who is this "we"? sony? or just sony zealots?
Excellent!, even after the first week, the MS x360 either barely beat the Wii or it barely beat the 360. Either way a terrible performance by MS and it shows that the Japanese consumers are still concerned over the quality of hardware MS offers. Even if the 360 surpasses the Wii in weekly sales over the course of let's say until years end, I assure you both Nintendo and Sony still have nothing to be concerned about for the long and of course the most important run.
Victory is ours!
Let's be honest. We all know that this is just a wave. PS3 will catch up in one week, especially now Eternal Sonata is released and LBP soon, too. Japanese people love interactive games. (best example is the Wii, duh!).
And Christmas will be also good for PS3, I just say White Knight Story and Mirror's Edge. (Yes, Mirror's Edge is released at Christmas time in Japan.)
Have fun with your name calling and pointing out the obvious.
Guess what, the Wii's games are still horrible. I have only Wii sports because I was forced to buy it. Once I get a modchip, I won't have to pay for any of the Wii's crap games, assuming they're worth copying. The cost of a DVD is what, 10 cents?
The more the Wii sells, the less Nintendo will care about making anything better. That's nothing to boast about.
Zealots and SCEA employees
whats wii feature plans?
nothing and they don't care.
Why people buy that boring console anyways? I mean the console is awesome but all games is crap and they only focus on children and not teenagers or adults
Nintendo's future plans with the Wii involve letting homebrew developers hack the console and make it somewhat useful.
They already beat Nintendo to a DVD player, which was promised but forgotten, just like the promise to solve the Wii's limited storage problem.
Oh and don't forget the upcoming 2 year old PSP ports, 20 more washed up mario games, dumbass kiddie games, and 8 year old last gen shovelware.
HAHAHAHA!!!!!
So you talk a bunch of crap in another article only to have this article come out and BASH YOU IN THE FACE and this is what you have to say for yourself?
HAHAHAHA!!!!!
As for name calling? Hey! You're the one acting like a douche bag in the other article. No one forced you to write a childish post. You did that ALL on your own!
HAHAHAHA!!!!!
Awe...poor little hard core wannabe. There are MORE casual gamers. Live with it!
