This has been brought up before, but can you explain the conflict between this theory and the Apple iPod's raging success in Japan, while Sony and Samsung have been struggling to take share? Apple is a North American company.seattle6418 said:regarding the 360... i think its reasonable to believe that 360 is bombing in japan because its a north american product.
why people don´t say that? is there any study on how well western companies fare in japan? is coke/general motors/nike a sucess or a flop? maybe a study like that would help us understand xbox in japan.
i think this argument is valid. it boggles my mind that japanese games can be sucesfull worldwide, but western games just don´t make in japan. even when they are very similar in style, the western game bombs (god of war) while the japanese sell a lot (DMC). i think crash bandicoot is the only western title i can think of that sold really well in japan... anybody else with better examples in this subject?

But just 23k this week is not good...lots of software, christmas period starting...and just 23k ugh. Won't even mention PSP...and PS3 launch is a joke. No wonder why they scrapped Europe.

Well, if by earlier you mean this year yes, thats what I was expecting.Magicpaint said:You realise that PS2 is in its last legs and there are over 20 million owners now? That it's keeping pace with the PSP is still solid and hugely impressive. Ultimately, most people that want the system have already gotten it and you can't possibly see those one amazing sales figures you used to see earlier in its lifespan.
Raw64life said:Wii - ~370k (threeball says this number is for roughly 900 months of sales)
Well Blue Dragon wasn't out yet for these MCs, we'll have to wait for next week's numbers to know how many Xbox360 BD will sell.Scotch said:Get Bebpo in here.

Now can I call it the handheld GameCube?Frankfurter said:PSP is in huge trouble. 24k during this time of the year is very bad, especially compared to the 92k it sold last year during the same week.
Japan seems to do platform turn-overs fairly quick.... same thing happened with GBA/DS.Kurosaki Ichigo said:Sure its impressive nontheless! Awesome performance since its launch, but it seems PS3 will slowly kill it, I thought they would battle a little more, specially considering PS3 situation.
jarrod said:Now can I call it the handheld GameCube?
Because Sony has in fact decided that they were going to stop production of PS3 and focus on delivering a PS2 + wigglegamergirly said:Why are PS3 sales so low for this 2nd week?
gamergirly said:Sony should ship more PS3s. Those totals are ridiculous. It's the best time to SELL a console!!

True, at this rate it may even sell a whopping 1 million more before it totally shrivels up. :lolMagicpaint said:It's selling much better than the GC
