HIs projections were so far off last week that he doesn't know what he is talking about, must have broken off from a prediction league and made his own wesbsite so he could show everyone how wrong he is.

[Xbox Street Gang]

Wow..the 360 is $199.99 in Japan and the PS3 is $399.99- yet the PS3 still manages to outsell it..WOW. The 360 only had like a 3k bump in sales after lowering the price by $100.00...WOW

Anyways, back to Bomberman: Act Zero...

[Bladestar]

You lost all credibility when you said, "Anyways, back to Bomberman: Act Zero... "... lol!

[PantherLotus]

Right. It's pretty much old news at this point that the 360 won't sell in Japan, even with more jRPGs and a lower hardware price. To be fair, this was the first week in the past two months that the PS3 actually DID outsell the 360, so let's not get too excited d00d.

[Mr_Potato_]

Nope it's the second week now, last week PS3 outsold 360 6:1 and destroyed in one week any margin 360 had accumulated in 7 JRPG weeks before (the only 7 weeks where 360 ever sold more than PS3 in Japan by the way).

We can now safely assume the 360 is dead in Japan.

[sinncross]

PS3 will dive? I interpret this as ps3 sales dropping sharply... i don't see 25k being a massive drop from 33k.

[PantherLotus]

I think the implication is that the PS3 will return to previous lows around 5k per week. That's a dive.

[Bladestar]

Predictable... the same happened when Metal Gear 4 came out... the PS3 got a big jump... and didn't drop to record low after the super most anticipated game came out? So, what make people think that just because LBP comes out the PS3 sells will not do the same? expect at least a 10K drop... in 1-2 months unless Sony drops the prices it will go back to the miserable 3rd spot...

[DiabloRising]

Miserable 3rd spot, while the 360 is still in dead last... *tear*

But Japan doesn't matter, blah blah yadda yadda

[SL1M DADDY]

Just asking 'cause this article is titled way to close for flame bait and is completely unneeded.

[Mr_Potato_]

If PS3 is diving, what does it say about the 360 since PS3 still outsells it by 4:1 this week again...

Stupid fanboyism ftw ?

Those are projections anyway, so who cares ? Fact is, PS3 outsold 360 6:1 last week.

[Jok3r]

Last week Xbox 360 sold about 6000 units, according to this article 360 increased about 1000 units....So I call that an _increase_
:D

[Mr_Potato_]

@Jok3r : yeah, those MS fanboys are funny. A new laugh every day... :D

[Ap3theBad]

IF they not only outsold the 360 but the wii as well... but wutever it is (LBP) then keep it up and you wont see a decrease but only continue to rise to the top and hold that king of the hill flag for a lOOOOOOONG time.

[MajesticBeast]

this is Japan?

[Imallvol7]

this article is really vague. who is even writing it. wheres the info from?

[tetsuhana]

Blogspot....

[pornflakes]

last week 6:1

This week only 3:1

next week 1:1

So LBP saved the dying PS3 in japan? Cause you know, PS3 should have 150k sales in Japan every month, so dont compare with 360 sales.

LBFlop + MidgetStation3 = SucksBoy

[sephy 9 2 5]

don't even avg 150k a month. So I'm not sure which fanboy told you such a thing....

[ultimolu]

...How come I've never heard of this site? :/

[eagle21]

PS3 FTW!

[eagle21]

Wii 28k
PS3 25k
ps2 most likely higher than 7k
360 7K

So if that's a dive, then that last console is drowning.

[titntin]

Why have we a blogspot chart guess submitted as news??

Its not as if he's even been close to getting it right - its a guess, based on no evidence or news, and no better than any other wild speculation written in these comment pages.

Reported as blog..

[Stryfeno2]

Look likes the hype for LBP is losing grounds again...Last Reminant will bring the 360 numbers back up.

[Panthers]

Does everyone in Japan own 4 DS? I am not a fan of hand-held gaming but man they love it over there. Go Kirby!

[hadouken007]

360 low as sh!t but they sayin ps3 will dive, bunch of nobody's thy are.

[tetsuhana]

Lol at PS3 being at the bottom of that list, even though it sold way more than the 360. Funny how that was the only one out of order...

[psthreee]

only 7k lololololololol

[firetaw]

allot of people are waiting and saving up for a ps3. instead of showing sales. they should show general interest, if that were ever possible to do since you would have to get everyone to vote.

but don't get the article wrong. his guesses are math based only he basically takes all of the sales to date and then divides by how many months he added then gives a general number which i think is poor math for predicting sales.

[djroberts]

What a horrible web site.

[d_dogg2007]

lol who ever thought that 360 had a chance in Japan are stupid. Japanese people create the highest quality products and technology do you think they will be suckered in to buying a last gen technology console with 33% failure rate. The only people who buy xbox in Japan are probably americans living there. So please stop humiliating yourself xbox is dead, the plug is being pulled 2010 mark my words.

[uckitsayitchbay]

PS3 FTW!!!!

[TheDesperado]

Your predictions are not news. Stick to neogaf.
