Xbox 360 tops PS3 in Japan, again

by Xav de Matos on Sep 26th 2008 12:15AM

According to weekly sales figures from Media Create in Japan, Microsoft has beat Sony on its home turf for the second week in a row. Reduced to nearly half of its console sales last week Microsoft was still able to inch out the PlayStation 3 in the Land of the Rising Sun. Of course, Nintendo's DS and Wii one-two-combo remained at the top with Sony's PSP landing comfortably in third. Sales figures, according to Media Create for last week look like this:

Nintendo DS - 61,242
Wii - 29,921
PSP - 28,674
Xbox 360 - 13,777
PlayStation 3 - 8,156
PlayStation 2 - 7,720

On the software side, the Xbox 360 exclusive Infinite Undiscovery fell to #13 in its second-ish week of release with timed-exclusive Tales of Vesperia down to #28. Along with the two recently released titles the Xbox 360 received a price drop that is assumed to be a huge factor in the figures. Or Japanese gamers now love the Xbox. Yeah, that has to be it.

3 out of 4 Asian women are totally bangable.

i gotta agree 2 lefty needs plastic surgery

I agree, I would like a bigger version of this image please!

Call me fussy but only no #3 is doing it for me.

i gotta agree with the 3 outta 4. where's your head at Boff?

I approve of the above comment.

are you sure it's 360 consoles that beat the PS3 and not Hello Kitty faceplates? those gals look extremely pleased with their purchase.

13,777

Well I dunno if I prefer lucky 7's or if I had rather the first 7 be a 3...

If M$ can ship over some sweet Japanese anime faceplace, everything will be a-okay!

Who the hell cares? Oh wait, fanboys care. That's right MS pays them to be fanboys.

Then Microsoft should ask for their money back for the one on the left.

Looks like they want 2 more.

Tales of Vesperia is a confirmed Timed-Exclusive?

say what? :O

sorry but whats that on top the xbox :-O

(sorry if this sounds anti-xbox just meant to say, sony still tops its no time to brag keep pushing ms)

Phillip,

It's called a "hand-held". Somewhat different then a "console". MS doesn't have a handheld to compete with the DS or PSP.

Apples and oranges my friend.

Hell freezes over again. Pigs fly too.
