Either way it's awesome for Nintendo. Which means more games and support from 3rd parties.

I wouldn't be suprised if PS2 did it before the DS came out. The PS2 was dominating everything for a time, even GBA games weren't selling as well as PS2 games. But now that the DS is the dominant force in Japan, not even a new PS2 game can stay up there for long.

PS2 actually never had the entire top 10 to itself. There was always GBA games or the odd GC game up there. I remember this because it was a big deal when DS did grab the top 10, and the fact it was the first system to do so was pointed out.

It's interesting: every region except Japan is topped by it's favourite sport: Football in the U.S. Soccer/Football in Europe, and Hockey in Canada. Japan is the only place where sports games don't top the charts (although I think Soccer does really well there, and Wii Sports is aiming to change that )
Not in Australia, either, I don't think.. unless cricket and rugby games do really well.

They do

and V8 Supercars.

Well, I'm guessing the Famicom did it back in the 80s.

Konami is probably regretting putting MGS on the PSP.

If a nation's favourite sport always tops the charts, Japan's favourite sport is whining like an emo while repeatedly bashing monsters that appear from nowhere.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #406 on:** January 18, 2007, 04:28:41 AM »

Before I post these *unconfirmed* hardware #'s, just remember that Saony has released a PR statement saying that they have just Shipped 1 Million PS3's in Japan.
Last week the PS3 LTD in Japan was 527,502 units according to Media Create.

Unconfirmed
Hardware (Not MC):
DSL: 110k
Wii: 96k
PSP: 45k
PS3: 34k :0
PS2: 24k
360: 9k <--- Gears of War relesed in Japan today, so maybe 360 will have another spike in sales.

If these #'s turn out to be anything like MC #'s, then Wii only fell about 7k units short of outselling all Sony platforms combined. Sony better hope those other 400k+ units that are supposedly at retailers(and sitting on shelves) end up getting bought over this next week, or they could be in some serious trouble (with 3rd parties) in Japan.

Gears of War spiking Japan sales? I really doubt that, the Japanese seldom are impressed with shooters, especially American shooters, or in Gears of War, a generic shooter masked with good controls.

Hey, BlackNMild, where are all these numbers coming from? Not doubting you, just need a link so I can shove it in someone's face.

Not sure about BlackNMild's particular source, but the firm is Media Create, and they list the data on their site (in Japanese); however, they don't have the current numbers up yet, which should include the console sales.

HOLY CRAP! DS has failed and Nintendo is doomed.

Oh wait. My bad.

IceCold · « **Reply #417 on:** January 18, 2007, 01:16:32 PM »

Those PS3 numbers are horribly low.. I'm assuming it isn't sold out everywhere right now

Louieturkey · « **Reply #418 on:** January 18, 2007, 01:33:31 PM »

If Sony didn't lie about shipping 1 million PS3s, then it isn't sold out ANYWHERE.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #419 on:** January 18, 2007, 01:51:23 PM »

I've seen PS3s at about every store I come across now, it is really quite sad, even the Xbox 360 was harder to find just after the holidays.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #420 on:** January 18, 2007, 01:51:44 PM »

It's hilarious that Sony's numbers were actually 9K lower. Wii outsold PS3 in Japan this week by nearly 4:1, Sony must have shipped all their extra consoles to the US to satisfy the massive demand here. Oh wait I forgot, we already have too many PS3s here.

Mario · « **Reply #421 on:** January 18, 2007, 01:52:50 PM »

Sony announced they shipped 1 million to Japan, so there's over 400,000 sitting on the shelves there.

zakkiel · « **Reply #422 on:** January 18, 2007, 02:30:59 PM »

You know, I told myself that the Wii's innovation would draw vast crowds and the PS3's price point would insure it would sink if not outright tank. But I joined Team Nintendo in the N64 era; the pessimism has sunk deep into my soul. Now, watching in awe as the PS3 zooms beneath even the lowest expecation like a limbo-master on rocket-powered roller blades, I'm prepared to say: they've lost. I said I would wait until units were readily available on stores, and in Sony's case, that's already happened. In the Wii's case, God only knows when it will. It's not doom yet, but from here out, any rallying by Sony will be only a rearguard action, an effort to salvage something of their former prestige. And that leaves Japan to us.

I'd wager if we went back far enough Nintendo probably did that quite a bit in the Original GameBoy and NES heyday.

I wouldn't be so quick to shrug off your years of hardened pessimism.
