So at this rate, how long would it take for the 360 to pass the PS3's LTD in Japan?

Wow, it just squeaked it out, but it did it. Now I want to see the other streams cross.

I cannot believe the 360 hardware results I'm seeing. All of this for Ace Combat 6, of all games?
Not to undermine its potential in Japan, but it's a super westernized (by its sixth iteration at least) flight-combat game. How much appeal could it have to the otaku?

Not a single PSP game in the top ten and one doesn't appear until 17th place and it still sells over 50,000+ a week in Japan?
Jezus, it's total handheld country over there even if they don't buy games. And X360 over PS3...holy crap.

I hate to break the news to you, but Pac-Man and Space Invaders hold a lot of similar qualities to that which you're deriding - an simple concept which can be picked up rapidly but proves a challenge under the constraints the game sets on you over time.
In a sense, minigames are the most traditional games currently available.

SMG moved less of an increase in units than Ace Combat. Wow.

Didn't the original xbox sell through that much throughout its entire life-cycle?

You know, I didn't think the Media Create thread could get more retarded than it already was.
I was wrong.
Dead wrong.

I'm not getting involved in the slapfight between the Sony and Nintendo kids this week. You've both managed to annoy me. Feel free to tear each other apart.reilo said:

I agree it is entertaining, but to me the more interesting story is Wii hardware. If I had told this thread 3 months ago that Wii would sell 37K when Galaxy was released I would have been laughed at and banned.

In 3,341.4 weeks. That would be on November 17th, 2071.
They'd meet at just over 59.5 million units.

The original Xbox was at 475,598 as of December of last year. So I guess the 360 is doing better than the original.

Traditional gaming is near dead in Japan. So sad.
To think of the threads I've been run out of for suggesting such a thing, when the writting has been on the wall for the longest time. Blind fools. You know who you are.

Wii comparisons: At week 49, Wii is where GCN was at 190.3 weeks (May 3, 2005), where GBA was at 39.1 weeks (December 16, 2001), where DS was at 51.8 weeks (November 25, 2005), where PS2 was at 58.3 weeks (April 10, 2001), and where PSP was at 85.9 weeks (July 29, 2006).
PS3 comparisons, one full year edition: At 52 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 5.9 weeks (April 8, 2000), where PSP was at 20.4 weeks (April 26, 2005), where GCN was at 27.4 weeks (March 19, 2002), and where Wii was at 7.4 weeks (January 17, 2007).
DS vs PSP: Weekly shares of 56.8 / 43.2, bringing total shares to 74.7 / 25.3. If DS stopped selling and PSP continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 220.5 weeks (January 26, 2012).
PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 31.7 / 68.3, bringing total shares to 25.0 / 75.0. Actually 24.97 / 75.03, so probably next week PS3 will return from being tripled, unless Wii gets a phantom boost and 40 GB is a complete dud. If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 143.4 weeks (August 4, 2010).
PS2 vs DS: At this week's rates, DS catches up to PS2 in 13.4 weeks (February 5, 2008) at ~20.9 million units apiece.
X360 vs PS3: PS3 leads by 798,600 in lifetime sales, but trails by 239 this week. If X360 can lead by that amount every week, it will catch up in 3,341.4 weeks (November 17, 2071).
At week 44, X360 has passed 180K. Last year it took until week 52. If X360 can average just over 1.4K/week for the rest of the year, it will be a new record year for an Xbox system.

Good man. Unfortunately, I think this may be put off by the November 11, 2071 PS3 price drop to 19800.Cheesemeister said:
