Actually what people are discussing is wether or not 360 can reach a life to date sales number of 500,000 within the year. Considering about 300,000 were sold before the year began the discussion is in effect "can 360 sell 200,000 in 2007".. its even sadder then you first suspected

Pretty much...
But don't talk about it, you may hurt people's feelings.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
When should we expect real hardware numbers?
If you think I am emotionally invested in the success of failure of any corporate entity that sees me as nothing more than a walking wallet, you are wrong. I am just saying that MS is beyond the underdog in Japan. They are never going to achieve any sort of mainstream success. We all know this. But maybe they can do some sort of niche thing. Sell a million units or two, become the crazy hardcore gaijin box or something. As a fan of the style of games that tend to get tossed on Xbox, I think that would be great. Japanese folks making some money, Japanese folks making some Xbox games, pretty much good times all around.DeaconKnowledge said:
Seeing as MS failures in Nippon are literally the stuff of legend at this point, I think begrudging them their tiny, insignificant victories, like a semi-regular spot on the top 10 for the last couple months, is pretty petty. Petty's not way to go through life.

Gahiggidy set up, never forget:
I wonder if that's the basement of the Gamecube Hut... anywho.
Stick with Team Ninja and Sakaguchi, because with numbers like these MS won't be getting support of studios designing games for the Japanese market (Capcom smartly decided to try the western market). At least not unpaid support (i.e. Sakaguchi)
It's hard to be a fan of Sony, nowadays, isn't it? :lol

There´s one very important thing that people are forgetting here, and that´s the relative lauch dates of the original XBOX and 360 relative to the market leader (PS2 last gen, and Wii this gen).
If you don´t think the XBOX brand has made significant progress, check out the original´s market share when it reached 300 000, and the take a look at the 360´s market share right now. It might not make you say wow, but at least hmm....
I´d say the 360 is well on track to sell a slightly more than pathetic 1.5M+

As we are aware from last week, what you "say" nd what the rest of the world thinks might not be quite synched up.

Don't ALL .hack games start in the top 10, then IMMEDIATELY drop the following week (or two?)
Topping off to like, less than 300k?

You must not see the irony in your post. Xbots are the most annoying fanboys on these boards, going into every Nintendo thread to scream "LAST-GEN!" or going into every Sony thread to scream "HAW HAW WE'RE WINNING!"
I point to Ralph as evidence.

More like 200k. And yeah pretty much. They are "rpgs" after all. Vol.1 and 2 only spent one week in the top 10. Vol.1 spent 7 weeks in the top 50 while Vol.2 was in the top 50 for only 4 weeks. So I would guess about half a million for the series in Japan when its all said and done. Sure wish we could still get US data. ;_;

You think the 360 is going to see a million LTD in Japan?
Wow.

You know, there is a far cry between this post and the "N-Tard" shotgunned post before. All I have to say is what do you expect? This is a media create sales thread, and the 360 is going to be put in perspective. It's not about being Petty, because emotions are not involved; it's just commenting on the numbers. Nobody is begrudging MS their success (see the December NPD thread) but to call what's transpired here as any kind of success is ridiculously stupid. It's headway and nothing more.
I hate the mentality around here that if you call a spade a spade you're a troll. Too many forumers are to thin-skinned about these numbers. If it bothers you that much that people say what could very well be true about the 360 in Japan than maybe it's better to stay out than throw out N-tard accusations and then expect sympathy.

so then why were you cheering when you know it'll plummet next week?
I am actually surprised that the Wii is kicking so much ass. I didn't put too much faith in what analysts and the like were saying about the Japanese eating the Wii up, but they are loving it!!! The Wii is pretty much guaranteed first play for this gen. w00t!!
And I'm also surprised to see Wii Play and Wii Sports selling so well. Both are fairly shallow games, but WOW!!! Does Wii Play come with an extra controller in Japan?
