is there a reason the numbers are so rounded off?

It's the early estimate by Famitsu, they always give rounded numbers. Media Create gives like the actual numbers which will come on friday.

Actually then numbers comes from Famitsu, not vgchartz, so it'll be pretty close.

2.1 - Any doubt?
Yeah, the previous 10 months were full of a ton of doubt. These numbers aren't great for the PS3 either...a big improvement but nothing earth shaking.

That was an unbiased comment right up until you just had to throw the fanboy in with the... "PLAY BEYOND NOT BEHIND" comment.

I'm glad Ps3 and 360 are having decent sales and all, but as long as the Wii, DS and PSP continue to sell loads more that the two... those numbers really don't mean anything!

And like everyone always says on here.... These are VG charts numbers, so they are nowhere near accurate!

In the future, I hope the Ps3 and 360 both have higher sales so they can draw in more developers who would otherwise make a crappy Wii game.

not only does it look like the ps3 is leading again (in my best xbox fanboy voice) "it's a wrap for the other box, japan has spoken and the ps3 wins"

Editors note: i dont really feel that way, i think both consoles will sell well throughout the next year as well, but it shows how stupid other people sounded when the 360 had a spike and had higher numbers than the ps3 and claimed it was over for the ps3..

back to my old voice.. the ps3 is pulling all this off at still a higher price and no price drop i might add..

and software wise the ps3 still leads the 360 in the top ten in japan..

that the sales will spike way more when White Knight releases on X-mas! But...i do not want to assume or i'll make an "ass" out of "u" and "me"....

6.1 - Thought that too
At some point there will be saturation. No more people to sell to as everyone has already bought one. Yet with the new DSi there is the chance that those with DS and DSL will get one because it is different.

I am that way. I have a DS and DSL and will prob get the DSi if it comes out in the US. Granted I have a unit capable of playing DS games, it is the fact that it is new and different enough to warrant a purchase. I didnt do that with the PSP though. I still only have the original although I would like to get the 2000 model for TV out.

What is suprising is the drop on the PS3 from last week.
10/27-11/2: 39,587
11/3-11/9: 26,000 (estimate)
13,500+ drop

And more suprising is the rise on the 360
10/27-11/2: 6,119
11/3-11/9: 10,000 (estimate)
3,000+ increase

Japan is a strange place for gaming. They love the wii and DS when every other country in the world games on the 360/PS3.

Which is all Sony have ever done.

The PS3 was dead in 2007 due to no games.

When it outsold the 360.

The PS3 is dead this year due to price.

While it outsells the 360.

The hate will never go away, which is nice because hate just means they're very, very worried.

What you mean? As soon as Last Remnant releases for the 360 before the PS3 version, expect the 360 to once again outsell the PS3 by 1000 units.

So then we'll see more Kotaku articles about how the PS3 is dead in Japan and the 360 will be the "next-gen" console of choice.

Just you wait. lol

Why can't they buy both? I am betting because it is new that even those that have one (like me) would still pick it up. For me, I collect consoles and handhelds so it is a given for me to pick it up.

The 360 will likely outsell the PS3 again once The Last Remnant releases, then Sony will release White Knight Chronicles and then the PS3 will once again be in the lead, until Star Ocean 4 gets released on the 360 of course, however, RE5 will release shortly after and it's been proven time and time again that Japan chooses PS3 for multiplatform games.

Japan chooses PS3 because it's the console they "WANT."

But I don't think right now it's the console they can "AFFORD."

Why? Because everything in Japan is ridiculously expensive. Heck, I heard getting a driver's license out there costs up to $2000 in expenses. So the demographic that spends the money on games is buying the cheaper stuff like the PSP, DS and the Wii.

It's also because they are a very mobile culture who travel through public transportation a lot. So that's why consoles (other than the Wii) aren't as a big hit, until they are more affordable.

Which is why it's quite a joke that the 360 is the cheapest console there, yet it's still being outsold. Japan doesn't want a 360, they just want the RPGs.

It seems like they feel like they have to buy a 360 just to play their favorite games.

But I bet you if they had a Choice, they'd go Wii/PS3 all the way.

Judging from sales Japan choses the Wii not the PS3. The saddest part about the PS3 in Japan is people want to bring up the 360 and are so uninformed they actually think they have a valid point. It's just not worth arguing over with people who are clueless. Let's just say that if the PS3 were really doing as good as you kids want others to believe the 360 would never outsell it not even for a week. Notice it never touches the Wii in sales
