Japan: Xbox 360 tops Wii in hardware sales
Posted by XanTium | September 17 17:20 EST | News Category: Xbox360
 
From edge-online.com:
[QUOTE]
Microsoft's Xbox 360 outsold Nintendo's Wii and Sony's PS3 in Japan during the week ended September 14, Famitsu reports.

According to an MCV translation of the report, weekly Xbox 360 sales hit 28,681 units, a massive jump on the 843 units shifted a week earlier (Media Create data pegged prior week 360 sales at 1044). In comparison, Nintendo moved 27,057 Wii units and Sony sold just 8,050 PS3s.

A number of reasons were cited for the hike in Xbox 360 sales, including a recent price cut to the entire range of 360 models, the launch of a 60GB unit, and renewed stock following widespread shortages.
The release of Square Enix's Infinite Undiscovery, which reportedly sold 86,708 copies in its debut week, also contributed to the system's weekly hardware victory.

Well duh, it was inevitable that everyone in Japan would eventually have a Wii. Looks like they're almost there.

If it outsold the Wii for one month that hardly makes up for the years that the Wii has been selling through the roof, even the PS3 is ahead of the 360 in Japan and is catching up to the 360 elsewhere

More important to MS, is the continued strong support from JP developers. Even if it costs a few hats filled with money.

I think this is great news, hopefully this will mean that more japaneese games will get developed for the 360 now.

I doubt anyone here would argue with you on that.

We're just cheering that it happened for once. beerchug.gif
