Would have been more interesting if you put question marks on the xbox 1 sales too.

God, I love your posts Ludwig!

Great way to make humour out of something so drastic!

I love Joystiq thanks to writers such as yourself, and I love these weekly sales charts thanks to the humor you put in them.

Keep up the great work!

Damn, that Bugmenot post was mine. I forgot the settings where saved. :P

Wonder how many other times I posted as bugmenot...

And for the record, I posted as "bugmenot" because of this
http://www.joystiq.com/2006/09/06/stupidly-obvious-online-safety-and-parenting-tips-from-ncsoft/#c2041240

Anyways, the word was dramatic, not drastic up there.

Good lord, if I walked in to purchase an XBox 360 and 183 Japanese kids purchased a DS while I was waiting in line... I'd feel pretty damn disappointed in my purchase as well.

No wonder Microsoft can't make a wave in the land of the rising sun... peer pressure.

Wow. At least someone at Joystiq is enjoying themselves over this mess. Good job, Ludwig. ^_^

But 0 Xboxes? Damn, man. I hope all that's left overthere is stock and not new shipments, because Microsoft needs to get rid of all of what they've got left and stop.

Most of you so-called Nintendo fanboys are just Sony exiles anyway- traitors who jumped on the Wii's bandwagon out of anger generated by the PS3 launch delay. How shameful that you've forgotten how you helped make Sony become the video game powerhouse that it is!

According to the Tokyo Times:

"DS Lites are being used as floatation devices in Japan to support their famed "City on the Sea" project.

Construction of said structure is moving along at record pace thanks to Nintendo's steady supply of DS Lites.

This revolutionary new method involves attaching thousands of the devices together into 80 ft. cubes. These cubes are then reinforced with mortar composed of copies of 'Brain Age 2' and tethered to the harbor floor.

It is estimated that, upon completion, the city will be held afloat by nearly 20,000,000 gaming units.

Future development of a sister city has been rumored, but until Nintendo releases a firm projection of Wii console production rates, a start date cannot be reported."


This is the only way I can explain it.

Yes! It is, Gamer9190! Thank you for pointing out such a foul typo. My draft sentence was originally "You're bound to learn the answers after the mysterious break." My English teacher always said you should stick to your first ideas.

Of course, she also told me I should try passing her class.

What I love is that when Sony debuts the 1080p PS3 with Blu-Ray, xbox fanboy screams "Almost nobody has HDTV's, this is only a niche device".

Then when the holiday software lineup for the PS2 is announced (which looks mighty sweet), those same xbox fanboys chime in with "After playing my 360 on my HDTV, I can't go back to the PS2 with its blurry textures".

Face it, if you have an HDTV, you should get a PS3 to really take advantage of it. If you have a SDTV, you are a fool to waste your money on an xbox 360 when there are so many better games on the PS2 (not to mention it's loads cheaper).

I still don't understand why Microsoft doesnt go full force in North America and Europe? They are basically wasting their efforts trying to capture an uninterested Japan,so why not put that effort/money/time to good use and give the 360 supporters and fans the love elsewhere.

It's like trying to bring the snobby,uninterested girl flowers while you have 2 other chicks basically humping your leg to take them to bed.

When are you gonna post the NPD figures? They are out. As expected Madden and Dead Rising were strong performance.

DS is at number one and sold even more than before. PSP is at number four and sold less than before. GBA still at 3 sold less than before, PS2 at 2 sold more than before. Software sales were biggest on DS, which had like, a 128% growth or something, and PSP software sales also had a %57 growth.

They're good numbers. Post em.

"Like I said lets all meet back here for next week's sales figures. My guess is DS takes a hefty hit. How about the next NPD's? Will they even maintain a lead on PSP?"

- Comment from Bill a week ago

210,000+ lead over the PSP in just one week in Japan.

132,000 lead in the month of August for NPD. PSP couldn't even beat the GBA.
