Amnesia Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I think it just proves that Asian's know that a system isn't all about power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ji@nBing Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Doesn't everyone in Japan own a PS2 by now, i mean honestly why are so many still being sold. Is it people replacing their broken ones, or just buying them for the sake of keeping sony ahead, I can't understand it A lot of those are exported to China and the rest of Asia. In a way, Japanese console sales aren't very accurate because a lot of consoles get exported from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Live Veteran Posted November 21, 2006 Veteran Share Posted November 21, 2006 very doubtful, square released an rpg for the 360 a while ago and it didnt help at all Uhh are you referring to FF XI? A several year-old game that was poorly ported? Blue Dragon will help. And the launch of the PS3 will help as well, as Japanese gamers find it's not all it was cracked up to be.

gunnerhkjp Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I don't know about blue dragon. They are not advertising it on TV as much as they should. Every second ad is a Wii and DSL ad, and I see playbeyond ads from time to time, but no 360 ads. They show sporadic DOA ads late at night :) but thats about it. At this rate, only hard core gamers will know about the 360. I really don't understand MS's strategy in Japan. They are not even trying. They need to buy more ad time, and show A LOT OF GOW because that game will impress everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you're right. Blue Dragon has been in the Top 3 in Famitsu's Most Wanted list for a few weeks, so they're getting the word out somehow. I would think they'd have the game all over TV by now since its release is in a couple of weeks. :huh: Microsoft better get on the ball if they still care about the Japanese market.

AlphaPrime Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 November 20 - 26 DSL - 201,378 PS3 - 32,662 PSP - 30,815 PS2 - 26,263 Xbox360 - 7,007 GBASP - 1,264 GBM - 1,235 GC - 576 DS - 212 GBA - 27 Xbox - 0 360 receives a boost in sales thanks to DOAX2. Sony is still struggling to ship PS3 units to Japan. DS Lite (started selling March 2006) finally outsells GBA SP (started selling February 2003) this week in total sales. That's more units sold in around 1/4 the time. Wii should be on the charts next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
