[Loudninja]

God, I can't wait to see the hardware. I don't know how significant a bump it could cause, but it would be HILARIOUS to see 360 outsell PS3 and Wii.

It will not, we already seen the ball park range for the numbers

 

[pilonv1]

SEEMS OVER FOR SONY AND NINTENDO

 

[Bookey]

halo ftw, nice work

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

God, I can't wait to see the hardware. I don't know how significant a bump it could cause, but it would be HILARIOUS to see 360 outsell PS3 and Wii.

It wont.

 

[Defuser]

Spoiler

I'm not Gahiggidy.

 

[RiZ III]

I told you bitches! MS HAS CONQUERED JAPAN!!

Spoiler

>_>

 

[perfectchaos007]

It's a moral victory for Microsoft.

 

[Joe Molotov]

01./--. [360] Halo 3 - 59,000 / NEW

Holy crap, I would have spit my drink if I had been drinking anything. :lol

 

[C4Lukins]

SEEMS OVER FOR SONY AND NINTENDO

They had a nice run. Japan is EA and Activisionville for now on.

 

[tribal24]

i wanna see hardware numbers, cant wait

 

[SyNapSe]

JAPAN HAS SURRENDERED!

 

[Lightning]

Slow week and none of those sales, including Halo 3, are anything to be excited about.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

While many would come to spoil the occasion pointing out slow overall sales, this is nothing but great news for Microsoft. It doesn't really matter how low the overall sales were in the week, Halo 3 still made a splash, which is important.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

wow....will it sell more than Blue Dragon?

Blue Dragon sold ~80K first week with a smaller userbase, so it's not off on the right foot.

God, I can't wait to see the hardware. I don't know how significant a bump it could cause, but it would be HILARIOUS to see 360 outsell PS3 and Wii.

We've seen the early rounded Famitsu version. It doesn't, but the ratios being ~5:2:1 is much closer than usual.

 

[Adam Blade]

Whoa...

 

[Tornado Condor]

absolutely perfect :lol

 

[Pazuzu]

Halo & Oblivion in the Top 10? Must be alot more expats moved there recently.

 

[bigswords]

An FPS game won FF7 , fuck yea!!! And in Japan as well!

Did Oblivion PS3 just got released in Japan? But nonetheless good.

 

[CTLance]

Impressive.
Although it seems to still have been a slow sales week, Halo3 being on top is undisputable.

Also, yay at the crazy amount of newcomers in the Top10. Six new games made the cut, pretty unusual IMHO. Normally the long legs of DS sales block new releases - or am I seeing things?

Blue Dragon sold ~80K first week with a smaller userbase, so it's not off on the right foot.

What were the rounded PSP slim vs. DS Lite numbers this week?

 

[Bookey]

seriously, we need to break em in with halo then hopefully we can see a turnaround with the western games over there

 

[stonedwal]

My memory is getting pretty hazy, but didn't the original Halo do better in its first week?

Still, like the majority of 360 titles in Japan, it's just a once off - might be in the top 30 for another week or two. Not like it's an amazing event or anything.

Little more surprised by Oblivion on the PS3. Didn't really expect that to chart.

Edit - just checked the chart, and Halo did something like 70K for all of 2002.

 

[Juwanna Peezadis]

And you have what appears to be Master Chief made over for the film version of the musical Cats as your avatar. In the end we all lose.

So what you're saying is that Master Chief looks like something out of Super Sentai/Power Rangers?

 

[jj984jj]

I don't see what's so surprising about Oblivion when the 360 version did better than that.

 

[C4Lukins]

I do not think anyone is taking it that seriously. No need to go into spin mode.

"yoroshiku onegaishimasu"

Not only are they buying it, they keep beating me on Live!

 

[C4Lukins]

So what you're saying is that Master Chief looks like something out of Super Sentai/Power Rangers?

When made over for the film version of Cats, yes he does. He gets whiskers and turns purple, at least that is how I always imagined it.

 

[Jasoncheng]

08./--. [PS2] Yugioh Duel Monsters GX - 28,000 / NEW

It is PSP Game

[PSP] Yugioh Duel Monsters GX Tag Force 2

 

[mj1108]

The hardware numbers should be fun. :lol

360 > PS3 this week?

 

[Beer Monkey]

I'd love to see Mass Effect sell 100k there in week 1.

 

[Witchfinder General]

Cool, and it's nice to see Oblivion in the top ten.

 

[jj984jj]

Someone needs to make a chart for the top 10, PS family > DS > 360. :lol

 

[Mar]

01./--. [360] Halo 3 - 59,000 / NEW

 

[Lightning]

The hardware numbers should be fun. :lol

360 > PS3 this week?

According to Famitsu...no.

With those software numbers, Halo 3 moved stuff all systems. Hardware expected to be around 6000 according to Famitsu while the PS3 is at 13,000.

 

[GrimReaper]

 

[Steroyd]

59k for top spot is kinda weak in terms of what normal sales happens in Japan, but it doesn't take away that Halo made top spot regardless.

No Wii Sports? Wii hardware numbers must be lame.

 

[Tristam]

Blue Dragon sold ~80K first week with a smaller userbase, so it's not off on the right foot.

Oh, what were hardware sales in the early rounded Famitsu version?

 

[Speevy]

PS3 version of Oblvion?

 

[kay]

I don't see what's so surprising about Oblivion when the 360 version did better than that.

It's interesting because it shows 360 owners in Japan are interested in Western games while PS3 owners aren't as much. Although I wonder why Activision is going PS3 only in Japan.

edit: But it would be more clear if they were released at the same time.

 

[Lobster]

My Sims bombed. About 8k according to Famitsu.

 

[The_Dude]

Is 59,000 for the #1 game the slowest week this year?

 

[C4Lukins]

PS3 version of Oblvion?

The 360 version did well as well. Who would have known. Well being over 40K as I recall. More then you would think though.

 

[Grimmy]

The hardware numbers should be fun. :lol

360 > PS3 this week?

Hah - wishful thinking.

 

[NIghtWolf]

Halo and Oblivion :O

The US taking over japan!

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

OMFG!! :O

 

[Hcoregamer00]

TOP30
NDS:13
Wii:6
PSP:5
PS2:3
XBOX360:2

OMG, NINTENDO IS DOOMED

*runs to a shelter in fear*

 

[cyclone87]

God, I can't wait to see the hardware. I don't know how significant a bump it could cause, but it would be HILARIOUS to see 360 outsell PS3 and Wii.

:lol not gonna happen

 

[Ether_Snake]

Hah - wishful thinking.

Err it's pretty likely. 360 sold 40,000 when Blue Dragon came out.
