Japan Moves 86,708 Units of Infinite Undiscovery in its First Week

Xbox 360 sales were more than likely spurred by the one-two punch of a Japanese price cut and the release of console-exclusive Infinite Undiscovery, which sold 86,708 units in its first week. MCV points out that the 360 has now sold 717,275 units in Japan -- the very foundations of our world would be shaken if it actually went on to sell a million units.

1.6 - Just thought of something
Fanboys don't get mad, but I think MS might have a trick up their sleeve! MS has been trying to get alot of RPG's on the 360 in japan mainly to boost sales. This may also be part of their plan to try to get SE to release FFXIII on the 360 in japan as well!

The way it looks, Xbox 360 units go up every time a Jrpg is released. The majority of these games aren't well known, but are selling thousands and are moving a few consoles as well!

If console sales reach 1 million by the end of the year, MS may approach SE with a corny line like..."If you build it... they will come!" and tell SE that people will buy it for 360 because the console is cheaper.

This is just something that could possibly happen. No need to get pissed off. MS is sneaky and I wouldn't put it past them to try something like this.

The spur of Xbox 360 console sales in Japan were only driven by the release of Infinite Undiscovery, not the price drops because the 360 has already been cheap over there.

It is at its peak right now, next week it won't even move 10,000. It'll go downhill after that.

4.3 - Well, yes it will. But who cares?
Who knows, how many working ones left there.. =))

Anyway,it`s:
Last Remnant
Star Ocean 4
and maybe some new JRPGs from Mistwalker. These games definitely SHOULD boost some sales.)

But that won`t change the tide. Next year it will be 3rd ps3 year, ps3 will be MUCH stronger competitor, then it is Today.

This is the REALITY:
1. Final Fantasy XIII (PS3, Square Enix)
2. Dragon Quest IX (NDS, Square Enix)
3. Biohazard 5 / Resident Evil 5 (PS3, Capcom)
4. Dragon Quest VI (NDS, Square Enix)
5. Super Robot Taisen Z (PS2, Namco Bandai)
6. Monster Hunter 3 (Wii, Capcom)
7. Chrono Trigger (NDS, Square Enix)
8. The Last Remnant (PS3, Square Enix)
9. Final Fantasy Versus XIII (PS3, Square Enix)
10. Pokemon Platinum (NDS, Pokemon)
11. Animal Forest (Wii, Nintendo)
12. Dissidia Final Fantasy (PSP, Square Enix)
13. Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3, Capcom)
14. Star Ocean: The Last Hope (X360, Square Enix)
15. Tales of Hearts (NDS, Namco Bandai)

Japanese WANT PS3, and as soon as it becomes cheaper, slimmer and have those GREAT games released, it will OWN even Wii.

Nice list but RE5 is X360 bound as well and I wouldn't count out some of the other titles as the word EXCLUSIVE isn't what it is anymore.

People said it was at it's peak last year, and look what happened!

If they have some other games that the japanese are interested in, it might reach 1 million by years end.

We only know about the games that are released everywhere, and the 360 gets some different games than some of the games we get in other places.

good job! Let's keep it up for next week and main at least 20k per week.

But I highly doubt it'll happen for more than 2 weeks at least until The Last Remnant is out next month.

MS has this holiday season on lockdown.

With the new prices and it's library of games, the rest of the ps2 owners will be taking the plunge soon enough and buy a 360.

6.4 - actually heyheyhey...
maybe your friends have ps3, but my son that is 11 loves his 360 and so do all the other kiddies in school that play with him online...out of all his friends, only one has a ps3 and he finally got a 360 after bigging his parents from the past year. And all the kiddies are ps2 owners.

and at my job, i'm a law enforcement officer, many of my co-workers get together for COD4 on the 360... it's actually getting to the point where even buddies that never played video games before want a 360 and get a 360 to join the fun.

I agree the ps3 is a great value and name recognition goes a long way... but in the end its just too expensive for the mass market. Why do you think the majority of ps3 owners are adults... they are the only ones that can afford to buy expensive toys.

I was responding to heyheyhey remark about all ps2 owners wanting a ps3.

And your right, we'll just see how the sales go.
But if we could place bets on who will win this holiday season as far as consoles sold, i'd bet my house that the 360 will smash the ps3.

From here on out, it's all 360 until the ps3 gets another price cut.

if your theory proves right (which i doubt it will... in the way you want it anyway)

... then Sony will have no choice but to cut the price so the 'kiddies' can join the fun, they won't let MS hog the casual market if your proven right- and as the days go by, their position to cut the price gets better and better, while MS have already played all their price cards for this year and the next (unless they want to make it so cheap that everyone get's suspicious and realizes the lack of value and features that come with this ultra-cheap console)

also, what do you think 'kiddies' do for software sales?, diddly-squat that's what- the adult buyers buying PS3's buy lots of games

why do you think the PS3 has higher attach rates for every game nowadays?

"why do you think the PS3 has higher attach rates for every game nowadays? "

are you talking about one day or one week, because its a FACT the 360 has the highest attach rate per console out of the three.

and every multi-plat sells more worldwide on 360....

anyways... its like a said, if ps3 doesn't cut that price soon, they have doomed themselves. And its a shame because the ps3 really is a great value at its price now.

"But if we could place bets on who will win this holiday season as far as consoles sold, i'd bet my house that the 360 will smash the ps3."

honestly, u should broaden ur horizons. the world is NOT america.
the ps3 launched in march 27, 2007 in Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Africa and New Zealand. guess who outsold the 360 by 3 million units over there until this day.
the ps3 launched in 11 november 2006 in japan. guess who outsold the 360 by almost 2 million units over there until this day.

honestly, is it THAT hard to see??? the 360 is only outselling the ps3 in AMERICA. get over it! afaik the holiday season is the same all around the world. don't even bring the lame argument about how microsoft dropped the price on the 360, the ps3 is still hella expensive and ppl outside of america are still buying it despite that.

oh and don't forget the npd results for america in 2008, where august was the only month so far that 360 outsold the ps3...
honestly, none of u are industry experts. there's still 3 months left to the end of the year. there's lots of stuff coming out for both consoles, so who's gonna win is still unknown.

7 - I hate the game
Its extremely fustrating!! The menu is in real time so when you try to drink a potion or something you cannot move but the enemies can still attack you!!! Also checkpoints or savepoints are too far away from each other, I could not even beat the first boss in the beginning and had to start over from the previous area I am not going through the process of running back and forth!!!

Taking it back for force unleashed this week! Glad to see the Japanese can overcome major faults with a game <_<

If you like RPGs you should wait for Fable 2, White Knight Stories and ToV (if you live in Europe, or import it). White Knight Stories looks really promissing, but my favorite RPG of all time (Fable) is releasing a sequel!!!
That's all I'm buying this year, plus an Elite (need to buy some text books lol)

Different day. The PS3 fanatics on this site telling us to just wait. It never gets old does it. The waiting game...

I have all 3 consoles this generation. So I could care less who gets the most sales, who has the best games, or which console is better.

Be a gamer not a hater. Your post reeks of insecurity and jealousy KingDizzi.

I'm wondering if its any good? I don't trust review sites, especially with JRPGs. I might just pick up a 360 if this and Fable 2 turn out good.

SuperSaiyan4 - 461 days 5 hours ago
12 - I love JRPG's!
But this game is flawed! I mean I want to play it soo badly but if I cannot get health whilst in a menu then whats the point? And if I cannot continue just before a boss fight or where I died whats the point?? Takes you all the way back!

Overall graphics and gameplay to me are fine its just that ingame real time thing and checkpoint.

I loved all the other JRPG's on the 360!

Wait for Fable 2 thats gonna own! 360 is the best system for RPG's and all other games.
