360 outsold by everything. Fucking tragic
this is why i think they should stop making consoles and put their focus back at pcs
Microsofts “next gen plan” is basically, “buy everything we make, or fuck you”. Bill Gates needs a punch.
Bill Gates does not work for MS anymore. He is a chairman but nothing more…
Well no wonder they turned into shit eaters, i thought he’d just got money hungry
HA^
in Japan only…. lol
That’s the problem with some of our people here in America like Aelous. He forgets pride cometh before a fall. Xbox360 does well in America and America alone. Even in the UK it only has spurts when COD is released. Remember though every other console benefits from COD. With the Wii U Cod will eventually sell more on Nintendo’s eighth generation system. So Aelous humble yourself and stop supporting ms or you will be crying as you are; worse still like Atari, coleco vision, Sega, commodore, neo geo and turbo graphix 16 owners.
^^^^ This x 99999999
True, but North America also has the largest gaming market.
owend^

poor xbox being outsold by ps2 XD
Xbox does not sell well in Japan,because it does not target their audience well enough…
i dont even know why is it there.
i remember the smash bros creator has an xbox in his twitter.
Even nintendo devs buy other consoles. Take a hint fanboy
Dragon Quest X surely gave the Wii a nice boost in sales.
I know. We usually see it in the 1K range, if not less.
What do you expect, everyone owns a wii. :D
Im more intrested in the DS sales, its painfully close to beating the ps2 as the best selling console, its quite exciting.
By how many? Couple hundred thousand, or what?
yeah same im curios too
PS2 released 200 has 153 million
DS released 2004 has152 million
:)
360 outsold by PS2? Lame. Very, very LAME.
indeed sir
Do your research, xbox 360 never indeed sell well enough in japan. Probabaly japan has a differnet target audience.
Just Dance Wii 2?
Wii outsold Vita 4:1 and PS3 3:1?
O.o
Dragon Quest X. That is all.
Both consoles were doing that before DQX, though…..
3DS > Vita by 14:1
Wii > Vita by 5:1
It’s over.
Practically… Just look at the chart, none PSV games means almost none system selling and at this point, I doubt that PSV will rise from dust, literally… :D
In other news, there is currently no productivity being made in Japan because of the release of Dragon Quest X.
Also, Kirby is still in there….this causes for a celebration, Kirby style!

That’s awesome.
cute
This is Japan’s numbers. If it was Europe or North America, the numbers will probably be flipped.
Thats probably true so what we really to see is prestige worldwide sales not these one location sales
No those numbers are not flipped hahahahaha. Nintendo owns the sales even in Europe. I am warning exbox owners, sale that RROD disk scratcher. The Wii U shall be number one, Sony number two, reason being the PS4 shall not give xbox720 any breathing space this time around.
(Insert Petty remark here)
Well at least you realised how everything you say sounds, and made it into this easy, short comment. Kudos.
I think he’s given up…
Quick and short, just like he is with the ladies, or men. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
The only thing that is tragic is the fact xbox barely sells 1000 units every week and ps3 total sales still dont beat xbox360. you would think otherwise seeing as ps3 sell in japan 14 to 1.
I laugh at sony more than microsoft and this is just the xbox360 sales,
Nintendo vs Sony on the otherhand is even funnier.
I’m probably wasting my time here, but… The PS3 is more successful than the 360. Observe:
1) The difference in worldwide sales between the two is a mere 2 million units. When you’re talking about numbers nearly hitting 60 million, it’s not all that much.
2) The PS3 came out an year after the 360 and sold very poorly for a long time. It has been playing catch-up since 2009 and it has been catching up.
3) It could be estimated that a good part of the 360’s sales come from people who already had 360s but had to replace them due to hardware failure. The PS3 also had this, but in a much smaller scale.
4) The 360 will, almost certainly, be out of the market before the PS3, giving it the extra time to ultimately outsell the 360.
Correction: Numbers nearly hitting 70 million, not 60.
Naner laying down the truth once again.
well done
Woo, boy. Just Dance in the top 10. This is why I don’t take Japan seriously anymore.
^AEOLUS COMMENT ALERT!!!^
DO NOT REPLY HIS SHIT COMMENTS!!!
He’s a fake. I’m the real one. It’s actually quite flattering.
You’re too inferior to be my fake, crawl back into your hole.
LOL….
Aeolus’ at each others neck…. hmmm… There going to finish each other off… Praise the Lord.
And we should take Usher Asslicking Microshit seriously…? lol…
Wow Aeolus, weren’t you right!!
Even though the Wii sold most in total, at the moment both X360 and PS3 reign supreme over the Wii.
And boy! How the roles are now reversed between the 3DS and Vita after New Little King’s Story was announced for Vita.
Sorry Aeolus, you were absolutely right!
(for idiots: yes, indeed sarcastic here, shame it needs to be noted here.)
Aeolus classic comment of all times: It starts… lol

Thank you Japan for showing the world common sense still exits. Breath of great air this past two months :). The way Nintendo is selling this shows the world still listens to classics like Nas, bruce Springsteen, rock before the beetles or beach boys, Whitney and Celine and not Britney and her cousin rhianna( Aeleous’s favorite two singers plus Bieber).
If by common sense you mean buying the same basic game since 2006 and dance games, then sure.
Why yes… that’s what they mean. Didn’t U know. It’s the truth and it hurts doesn’t it… Just Dance crushing MS and Sony… wow, the people speak and they receive…
Just as I predicted. Do I get my degree in video game industry analyzism so I can get paid to troll Sony and Microsoft fanboys?
according to famitsu another sales tracker ps vita is in 8k and even the sales figures list here show it is not far away from that mark only 38 units away right. so congrats to vita . is it a new achievement for it by the way. now for those of you who think ps3 or xbox 360 is going to outsell wii , abandon hopes. these are GLOBAL sales figures from vgchartz. i thought of bringing in a comparison . for week ending 30 july 2011 ds 155,667 ps3 155,249 xbox360 133,735 psp 130,549 wii 126,099 3ds 62,914 . so gap per week of wii and ps 3 is 29k and between wii and xbox 360 is 7.6k and for week ending 28 july 2012 3ds 351,109 ps3 124,319 xbox360 89,744
wii 56,044 psp 43,844 psv 40,067 (here again it will be no more in 40k after this week.) ds 31,772. gap of ps3 and wii is 68k and between xbox 360 and wii is 33.7k .ps 3 itself has declined by 30k per week globaly in 1 year. assuming wii to stop selling from today itself and ps 3 selling at an average of 100k this year ( becoz every week sales of ps 3 continue to decline it cant just go suddenly down by 30 k . and it sells well in holidays . so i took the most optimistic thing for ps3) it has to overcome 31 million. so this year it sells 5.4 million . and also assuming that it does not go down then also it will take more than 5 years. and what are the practical situations. we didnt consider the following facts which are inevitable . we know that ps3 sales will continue to decline and wont remain at 128 k and will go down by another 30k in 1 year and further on. meaning it will now take 7 years more atleast. and also wii is not going to stop selling from today. moreover next gen consoles providing better tech like wii u ,ps4 and xbox 720 will be there in this time and so ps3 has no chance of making it . and when ps3 cant forget xbox 360 to.
Now look at sony’s financial condition.Sony Corp. racked up a record annual loss of 457 billion yen (US$5.7 billion) in its fourth straight year of red ink. it was becoz of surging yen, tv sales decline and ps3 and psp and psvita. it is expected to cut 10k jobs. and look at nintendo and microsoft. for nintendo, they got into loss for the first time and now from july 2012 they are no more selling 3ds at loss and look at its sales. as for microsoft it also recently reported a loss but that was not at all due to its gaming division.but sony’s gaming division is in major trouble. and with no announcement for ps4 , good ps vita games,ps3 and psp sales decline dont expect a miracle to happen. implying sony MAY BE COME A THIRD PARTY DEVELOPER VERY SOON.
we do remember an article in this site over the most wanted games in japan. and 5 of them are on 3ds and none on vita. then there is supersmash bros too. and legend of zelda also. and how can you forget pokemon. looking at its anime episodes , its last movie of this gen. is going to be in july 2013 or may be early 2013 implying 6th gen in mid 2013 so vita is dead. now it cant do anynthing.
ACCORDING TO AN INSIDER SOURCE OF A WEBSITE( IF YOU SEARCH YOU CAN GET IT OVER THE NET) THERE ARE 70 WII U GAMES IN DEVELOPMENT . NINTENDO IS GOING TO LAUNCH A TSUNAMI OF 3DS AND WII U GAMES THIS HOLIDAY.AND VITA JUST HAS ASSAIN CREED AND BLACK OPS DECLASSIFIED. IT HAS NO CHANCE OF SURVIVAL. 2 CAN DO NOTHING SUBSTANTIAL .AND ALSO IT IS A VERY COMMON SENSE THING TO CONCLUDE THAT DEVELOPERS WILL SHIFT PROJECTS TO 3DS.PERHAPS 3DS IS GOING TO TAKE THE
REVENGE OF WHAT THE PS2 DID TO GAME CUBE BY DOING THAT SAME AGAINST VITA.
^ I wonder if someone will actually read this comment. I couldn’t get past the first two lines.
*smh*
No one did XD
Nope :I
i did, good read…

This year is all Nintendo. I also think a lot of people are holding back on buying certain Wii related things until Wii U is released because it’s backwards compatible. People will look back in 10 years and see what a revolutionary console the Wii truly was. The Wii is the rebirth of Nintendo. Wii is NES and Wii U will be the SNES. Leave luck to heaven.
I thought “Vita” ment Life its more like “Morte”.
all it took was one game and nintendo’s console with one foot in the grave manages to sell more hardware in japan this week than the fresh next-gen vita sold globally last week. one of these days sony will wake up and actually do something to fix these horrible sales rather than sitting back and trying to act like the vita is some time bomb of success just waiting to boom on its own. they should just cut the price before the vita drains so much of their money that they can no longer afford the cut

You guys might hate Aeolus but i bet he doesnt hate Nintendo as much as he claims to. He’s just an internet troll who is probably cool to hang out with. Whatta cool guy.
Sorry it took me a minute to respond. I had to brush my teeth and wash my face. I just gave my elderly neighbor a rim Job and I had poop all over my face.
