PS3 Hits New Low....Xbox 360 Strikes 5 Weeks In A Row

[shimrra]

Xbox 360 sales (6,690) continue to dominate Sony's PS3 in Japan as Microsoft's winning streak races to five straight weeks in a row against their bitter rivals. Moreover, PlayStation 3 sales are now falling perilously low (beating out last week's lowest ever recorded sales tally) with only 5,899 Japanese consumers purchasing the next-gen console. With over a month of trailing behind Microsoft's console in their own backyard, this no longer qualifies as an anomaly for Sony and surely some deep, thought provoking questions need to be asked over at Sony HQ. Just what the hell is going on in the Land Of The Rising Sun? Hit jump for the rest of the weekly sales stats.

Everyone in Japan already owns a PS3. But more importantly, those PSP numbers are damn close to the Wii. Wait, everyone in Japan already has a Wii...damn those stupid sales chart numbers!

:icon_eek: How in the fuck do you sell 20k Nintendo Wiis per week? That's insane.

Doesn't Japan only have something like 40Mill in population or something?

Oh, nevermind. I just looked it up and they have 127,000,000 packed onto that little fucking island. Damn.

Simple. There are multiple versions of the DS there in color and they each buy all the colors. (???)

How the fuck is the PS2 still selling?

How the fuck is the PS2 still selling?
It's now tiny and cheap as fuck. Both are very important over there.
And I believe they still make games for it in japan.

Consider that the Wii is also much cheaper and thus more consumer friendly by default.

Japs wipe their asses with the DS. I think it costs 43 cents converted to Yen. I think they use the 360 for space heaters under their desks as well.

[Vyce]

Sony once complained that the PS2 sales were hurting the PS3 sales.....and I think they're probably right.
