The latest console sales figures show what looks to be an irreversible and humiliating collapse in Japanese Xbox 360 sales, with the console by some margin the worst selling console on the market, even dropping once again below the PS2.
DSi 57,000
PSP 55,000
PS3 37,000
Wii 32,000
DSL 6,600
PS2 2,800
360 2,600
The recent price cut in response to the PS3 Slim seems not to have had the desired effect.
On the other hand, cuts in price for the Wii and PSP, to say nothing of the PS3 Slim itself, have had rather positive effects on sales… The Xbox 360 may well and truly be in an irretrievable position this time.
Damned Japanese!
They have all those Moe Games on the Xbox 360 and can’t even appreciate that. Why can’t those game developers just screw Japan and develop Moe Games for the foreign market?
I have both Xbox 360 and PS3 and I just can’t think of the reason those Japs (or all those PS3 fanboys) don’t like the 360. The PS3 has slightly better graphics, but that’s it.
I prefer the gaming on the 360, and the PS3 for other entertainment purposes, since it’s more customizable.
In other words: The 360 is the better gaming console, the PS3 is the better home entertainment System.
However I have one big complaint on both: No Matroska and no FLAC…
Is it really so hard to get those FREE Codecs to work? I mean those consoles are effectively fully capable computers. PS3 even had official Linux support.
I’m sure that can be done with a software upgrade.
MMD + Kinetic = WIN, it shall rise and SONY has what?
NOTHING!
Thank goodness its sales collapsed.Could you imagine a world where MICROSOFT RULES ALL? I’ll be first on the next portal to an alternate universe.
the weak point of microsoft! they don’t have marketing XD… and consequently they don’t make market studies fail…
come on Halo and the american games don’t are the important games in japan.. japan demands MOE
It’s JAPAN, what do you expect?
Microsoft doesn’t even need japan they aren’t any huge bulk of the gaming industry.
Yeah, too bad for you NA sales are also plummeting
PS2>XBAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWX360
“they aren’t any huge bulk of the gaming industry.”
You are about to die. Slowly and painfully.
