If the estimated figures stick, then...Well, that's clearly a big drop.

colonel1796009d ago

the PS3 is getting back to the 30K again...

Why is the Wii still selling so much, is people buying 3 Wii's to go along their 7 DS's??!

Ridiculous!

MS might aswell close up shop out in Japan

M$ needs to pull the ripcord on the 360 in japan

zoks3106009d ago

They forgot the ripcord on the plane, so they are pretty much done for.

Danja6009d ago

Why should they , they sold over 1 million 360's ... Almost doubling the amount of the first Xbox , MS knew they wouldn't win Japan , I'm sure they are happy with the progress they made .... Maybe not much but come next gen ... They will most likely double the 360 sales ....

SixZeroFour6009d ago

i think natal may be able to boost sales a bit in japan even if only for a few weeks or months because i think the japanese market is into stuff like natal

only time will tell i guess

badz1496009d ago

there's a limit for being optimistic you know. M$ has spent god knows how much to break into the Japanese market and plus the exclusive JRPG deals, I don't think that they are "happy" the 360 sold just a mere 1mil+ after more than 4 years trying!

hatchimatchi6009d ago

i don't live in japan, but the area in asia where i live most people here buy the 360 because it's simple to mod and you can buy bootleg games for 2 dollars.

This isn't the numbers it is how much they dropped this week to last.

SixZeroFour6009d ago

what the heck are you talking about, are you saying that those numbers are how much each console dropped from last week

so wii dropped 55k and ps3 dropped 33k from last week? you realize that last week wii sold 76k and ps3 sold 61k...so by your logic, that would mean that YOU think wii sold 20k and ps3 sold 32k? and xbox sold like 1k (after differences)

lmao...where did you come up with that theory? was it just cause the wii and ps3 numbers were real low for this week, and you thought that they sold in the 100k+ last week or something

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle67d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg73d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree73d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai73d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
