Xbox 360 outsells PS3 2.5-to-1 ... in Japan

Posted Aug 15th 2008 1:30PM by Xav de Matos

While the Xbox 360 was outsold by the PS3 in our neck of the woods, Microsoft beat its corporate rival on their own home turf. The Xbox 360's popularity jumped this week hot off the heels of Namco Bandai's Tales of Vesperia, pushing 24,962 consoles out the door -- a 19,603 unit increase from the previous week.

In anticipation of the RPG's popularity, Microsoft created a limited edition bundle that added Tales of Vesperia and a slew of extras in with a standard Xbox 360 Premium (20GB) system exclusively in Japan -- the bundle is reportedly the most sought after package available in the region. Full sales chart for the week after the jump.

Nintendo DS - 60,434
PSP - 58,501
Wii - 38,506
Xbox 360 - 24,962
PlayStation 3 - 9,673
PlayStation 2 - 8,503

That's pretty pathetic for Sony.

This just comes to show how fail of a system Sony is, if they can't even outsell the Xbox 360 in their own country.

I would of thought that MGS would have helped the PS3 sell, especially in Japan. I guess not.

I think the high prices really drove the Japanese to buy more 360s.

That is also just one week. One week does not mean that the 360 is doing better then the PS3 in Japan. It just means that for that one week people bought a 360. Now, I would like to know how many of those people are planing on buying more then one game on the 360? That is where the gaming industry makes it's money, not on console sales, but software sales.

If you do that math, that means that last week there were only 5k 360s sold. Assuming that the PS3 sales were the same this week as last week, the PS3 out sold the 360 roughly 2 to 1 the week before.
