Title: Console Sales in Japan - 080901
Post by: Chrono on August 08, 2001, 09:02:06 PM
Ps2 sales still strong, but FFX is now "old news". How much will Devil May Cry effect the general ps2 sales?

Wooohoo! Go, go GBA! I\'m glad the GBA is getting the sells it deserves (in my opinion) unlike a certain Neo Geo Pocket. :(

Still, these reviews of console sells will be much more interesting when all systems are out.  I also speculate that the release of Devil May Cry will raise the PS2 sells up alittle but not that much.

After FFX Boom things are getting back to normal. But 75,000 consoles in a week is not bad. Not bad at all!! I think DMC will increase the number but only to 100,000 or so. We\'ll wait for next week chart.

Thanks for this week chart Chrono

I must say again that 75,000 consoles and more per week is a excellent cypher. With titles like MGS2 and DMC Sony will reach almost 20 millions.

I can agree with you there.... MGS will bring Sony\'s sales up definently.

Great for the GBA but PS2 is sucking BIG  green donkey *****.  Everybody wait and see MGS2 will raise the PS2 or so I hope.

Well, if the Xbox (and GC) somehow make PS2 sales crash (which I seriously doubt.) then the Xbox could, maybe not over take the PS2, but certainly get close. However, that would take a disater on Sony\'s part, which I don\'t see coming anytime soon.
