OMG what a spin LMFAO... I knew Kotuka could spin stuff, but this site takes the cake. 6K when the competition outsells it at nearly 6:1 ratio... It's competing with a last gen console for crying out loud. Warming up lol.. If that is warming up, then PS3 is seriously turning up the heat in Japan... Next month=PS3 breaks all records in Japan as FF13 lands.

At least it gained from prior sales and look what happned to ps3 sales of 100k down to 36k that is worse than 360s 6k cuz we know japan is sony land even then ps3 can't keep up with numbers at this price.

Well, sak, the PS3 sold 6000+ more this week than it did the previous week. So it increased as well from the previous week. You can't honestly expect the numbers to indefinitely stay at the level they were at the initial price drop? That's just unreasonable. Of course it isn't selling as much now as it did the week of the price drop.

No, 360 sales are not warming up at all in Japan.

In Japan, 360 is dead with less than 1 million consoles sold in so many years vs 3,5 million PS3.

360 is killed in weekly sales by PS3 20:1 and now we got another joke blog article by a 12 year old teen that says it's ok ? Give me a break.

Let me repeat it : 360 is dead in Japan and was never alive to begin with.

A console's performance in a foreign country can speak volumes to the overall strength of that particular brand. Sure, it'll do well in its home territory, but its influence overseas is where the real test is at.

Well since Japan is the only place that completely shuns the 360. I would say the brand is rather strong.

Consider the percentage of Japanese gamers compared to other regions when looking at the consoles that are doing "well" in Japan. I mean the PS3 has only eeked out 3.3 mil in it's 3+ years.. If it wasn't for their developer community, Japan would have about as much influence in gaming as a place like India.

You have to take a good sizeable chuck of other markets other than US to win the console war, that the reason crapbox is heading for last place at an alarming rate.

PS3 is making huge gains in all markets, that includes the US.
