PS3 Sales Surge 707%, Xbox 360 Sales Plummet 70%

xbox-360-tan.jpg

A comparison of the post-price cut Japanese sales figures for the major consoles reveals that PS3 sales have rocketed 707% compared to the same period a year earlier, whilst Xbox 360 sales have actually decreased 70%, in spite of price cuts.

The figures, based on Enterbrain data:

PS3: 707%

PSP: 126%

Wii: 29%

360: -70%

All these consoles have had their prices slashed recently, with effects ranging from extreme in the case of the PS3, to completely ineffectual in the case of the Xbox 360, which now appears to be in an irrecoverable position in Japan.

Of course, nobody expects this boost for the PS3 to be permanent, although the release of Final Fantasy XIII is just around the corner…

    ^lol, its only the japanese market. Who cares about a small market like that?! Europe and America... thats whats important.

    btw: the rrod issues have stopped since the elite came out. It's gettin old and the first gen of PS2's had discdrive issues. I know for myself and from 3 friends who had a broken discdrive after a year or a year and a half. So, nobodys perfect. That's what the warranty is for. lol

    The Japanese market is also where the best game developers in the world comes from, so it does matter.

    A person that spells "damn" as "dame" repeatedly should not be commenting on languages or their uses.

    >that's right, we kicked England's ass

    If by "we" you mean the ancestors of some americans (I mean the colonists) than you are probably right, as far as history goes.

    But I don't think you ever kicked the ass of some country,...

    "Alright gentlemen, we'll be courteous and give you the first round of firing. After taking casualties, we will counterattack with reduced numbers, and take turns from there."

    Is that the "Honor" the British soldiers battled with? Sounds like stupidity.

    Historical blinders on a few of these pathetic comments eh? Regardless of everything already written here, America made it FINANCIALLY infeasible for England to continue and we where freed for it.

    By the by, we still -till those libatards fuck us all over- are the only SUPER POWER in the whole FUCKING world thanks to that "cowboy" back in the '80s.

    "Color" or "Colour". Spell it the way you wish too, since that word started about the time when the English where fucking the french women and blood got mixed around. Words followed and got fucked up by the English since they got tired of spelling shit out cooked up by the french, who themselves Fucked up Latin to make their own fucking language.

    Got the Fucking point?

    You realise that honor means nothing on the battlfeild it's kill or be killed. Furthermore weren't the british burning civilian buildings in the revolution? Honor is a joke in war and if your ass comes walking out in a line on a open battlfeild with no cover wearing a fucking big red coat using napoleonic tactics taking turns with parlays JRPG style your ass deserves to be shot.

    Both sides used traditional fighting styles and both sides used tree line snipers (unconventional warfare), technically speaking the British did have a certain code. When they had who was supposedly Washington in their sights they didn't fire due to his rank, which American's didn't care they intentionally shot officers.

    Also both color and colour are in an American dictionary.

    and protection that doesn't require an s
    dame should be damned (not damn)

    Hey, grammar morons, both color and colour, an honor and honour, are viable uses of the words, so quit your pointless arguing. The whole Britain VS US thing only makes it worse. It's like cracker vs biscuit. You sound like a bunch of kids. This is the internet you morons, nobody gives a FUCK about grammar. Also, historical correction, for those interested, the American colonies didn't kick Englands ass on their own. They got ALOT of help from the French. They never would have won otherwise, since 40% of the American population(not counting Indians) were neutral to the Declaration of Independance, and 20% were against it, ergo loyal to the British Crown, meaning only 40% were for it. This is kinda important. Oh, and don't ask me to take sides, since I'm Scandinavian, and wouldn't give a shit in either outcome. Just trying to be historically correct here.

    How moronic would have to be to try and tell the English they're getting the English language wrong.

    This is exactly what people mean when they call Americans stupid and arrogant.
