360 Selling on Par with the ps3 in japan say what?

[KTA]

I know, its VG. But even VG can't be way way off can they?

Um if this becomes the norm, 'oh shit' sony.

Ace Combat was also #2 for the week in software.

[MyAbsolution]

well who would of ever pictured that?

now it may not last (of course not)...

But it does illustrate how important exclusive titles can be. especially Ace Combat getting sucked away from Sony.

Woah, Even Xbox 360 Hardware beat the PS3 (17K to 16K)...

[tranzparentl]

I figured Ace Combat would give a good boost but not that much.

Are the Japanese sales numbers posted on Kotaku each week going to be affected by the Neilson change? Hopefully that is just for US numbers I think.

There's a good 3-5k error of margin sometimes between VG Chartz and the Media Create numbers. Also, this probably won't be the norm with DW6 looming (bundled with PS3), but not for 360. There's no sustaining lineup for the 360 to maintain this all and the 40 gig is out next week to boot

Neilson Change? are you referring to NPD?

Japanese numbers are handled by Media Create.

Even if it's units 'shipped' or whatever a 10K+ increase from the norm is a very good sign.

I didn't say it was shipped but these numbers just aren't going to last. It'll drop under 10k this week, go back above with DW6, but Sony should be flourishing that week as well with the white Ceramic 40 gig and the bundle with DW6.

uh oh... don't let the Japanese know that there is a system over here in the states with GREAT games selection.

While I agree they won't last, its the highest non launch numbers i've seen. DW6? forgive me i'm not up on my acronyms. What game is that?

One of these days numbers might climb and stick. After all there are WAY more non 360 owners in Japan than any other system.

Dynasty Warriors 6, series sells about a million with each installment. Will likely sell about 300,000 on PS3, maybe 100,000 on 360 .

Numbers should increase again for the 360 with the release of Lost Odessey

And Infinite Undiscovery.

[RedRedSuit]

VGChartz should be banned from this site. Please don't use it.

[MA16v3]

And Infinite Undiscovery.

I honestly think Infinite Undiscovery will have more of an effect that LO will. Sakaguchi just isn't what he used to be.

Of course I'm biased because I'm tri-Ace's little bitch. I'll buy any console they release on(DAMN THE PSP!!)

[Godstar]

VGChartz, to echo RRD, please don't make posts based on their data. It's worthless. If you look at the Media Create numbers for the 360 on Kotaku from week to week, they're not even close to the PS3 numbers.
