The slides:
Update: Tose is apologising, saying it made an “error” in its figures for Xbox 360 sales, undercounting sales by 3 million units (and hence having erroneously implied the Xbox 360 was in the lead), having probably not realised its slide would become the subject of innumerable articles keen to point out the supposed change in leadership.
its always good to see nintendo on top. since they only make video games and dont profit from t.v. sales or dvd players or even hollywood movie sales.
Keep it up underdog.
I am sure that these numbers are old & outdated but it doesn’t matter…I like each console for it’s own reasons respectively so I am not concerned with these sales numbers too much anyhow…
nice 😀
though i read it was false. it will come sooner or later ^^
These numbers are so not right…
No doubt Japanese live in a world of their own.
