For most of us, sales numbers of various consoles are immaterial. We all love our very own white and green / black and blue / white and blue babies and couldn't care less what the rest of humanity is doing with their money. But some among us religiously track these sales figures and use the data to make analyses and predictions about the glory or doom of certain consoles.

In order to aid the number crunchers among us, this thread will carry weekly and monthly updates of console sales figures from key markets around the globe.

To start off the proceedings we have the numbers from the most knuckleheaded market in the world --> Japan.

Nintendo rules the charts in every major market around the world. If its not the DS then its the Wii. Nintendo will single handedly wipe out the Japanese Financial Deficit and realign the Balance of Trade.

Yeah, coz even free distribution of so many consoles wld take atleast a month with lots of manpower induced!

[sanjoy]

its a typo

[HundredProofSam]

8,818 is probably the increment over last week's sales

[MarketTantrik]

[MarketTantrik]

The PS3 is going strong !! Nice !!

But look at this DS Lite numbers. :shock3:

The Japs are crazy !!

[Emo-Iwata]

overall the sales are down on all the consoles for the week,i think thats the lowest wii week since launch

[KrackChap]

sales have fallen even for the wii(maybe a stock problem)
hot shots golf helped ps3 sales in japan,4 weeks of 20k+ sales.bladestorm will take over from next week.doesnt look very good for the 360 in japan,and unless lost odyssey comes up with a miracle i cant see them even coming close to outselling the first xbox.

Xbox brand was never famous in Japan. 360 is the single M$ console on the chart. Their stronghold is mostly in US.

In the UK and US, the X360 trails the Wii, DS and the PS2. But its higher than the PS3.

Japan has never been kind to the Xbox.

july sales figure for consoles in the us ........


Month PS2 Xbox 360 PS3 Wii
Jun/2007 270,000 198,000 99,000 382,000
Jul/2007 222,000 170,000 159,000 425,000

i hate to say this but the ps3 looks like it will win the console war ultimately .....

the gap is closing ....

ps3 catching up and wii still improving on its lead!!


(These numbers may or may not be accurate. They've been pieced together from various figures and percentages on the Internet. It's probably close enough for amateur analysis and web discussion.

[KrackChap]

yes 360 is on an average 10k higher than ps3 in US weekly(after the price drop for both) wii still outsells them both combined
pal region is pretty much dead even,360 and ps3..again wii outsells both of them..same with japan.

the psp is doing pretty well considering the announced slim model is to hit next week ,expect a spike

[KrackChap]

Xbox brand was never famous in Japan. 360 is the single M$ console on the chart. Their stronghold is mostly in US.

problem for them is their big japan killer-app didnt do enuff ,their so called final fantasy killer caused only a temporary spike after that it has been down again,same with eternal sonata
