360 outsells PS3 last week




........in JAPAN http://www.joystiq.com/2007/11...outsells-ps3-in-japan/


Only by 200. I guess people really like Ace Combat over there.

🙂 nice title.

That leaves the 360 still at about 1/3 the units in Japan as the PS3, but it's more impressive than the PS3 winning in Italy and Spain.

Haha... the title made me scratch my head.

Ya 360 will never catch up in Japan. I just thought it interesting that Ace Combat could sell that many systems.

Not nails this time. They are using grade 8 fasteners with a liberal amount of Loctite.

That doesn't sounds half as cool.

I kind of wonder if it's worth it for MS to spend the millions it does advertising in Japan to sell a measly 5K consoles a month in Japan. I kind of wonder if they should even penetrate that market with the next XBox.

I wonder how much they spend on advertising, maybe it would be cheaper to dump all ads and just give 360's away

It is kind of. It shows that Japanese will buy the console if it has exclusive titles they want.

Say Loctite over and over again while clapping. Like, "Hercules, Hercules".
Okay, it still wouldn't be cool. :frown:

I saw on a chart posted on Kotaku that the 360 has either equaled or just about equaled the original Xbox's total sales numbers in 2-3 fewer years. It is a slow climb, and they obviously won't win this generation, but MS is making progress. Lost Odyssey and Infinite Undiscovery may help matters a bit.

The two games you just listed pretty much convinced me to get a 360. Well, Halo 3 and Eternal Sonata helped too. I guess MS is slowly crawling its way into the Japanese market.....
