PS2 82,000
GC 42,000
Xbox 5,000
It does not appear RE was a huge impact on the Gamecube sales, only mustering about 30k consoles (increase of 24k from last week)
Xbox.. well, it speaks for itself
Ps2 increase about 5k from last week
EDIT:
ROFL, the ps2 increased this week the same number that the xbox SOLD this week.. :laughing:

Problem with XBOX is that they need to get their prices down, and release \'new\' games that aren\'t already featured on other consoles, that is why its having such a hard time.
They are gonna need to get software out ASAP.

Actually, PS2 in AUS at present is $AU 494 where as XBOX is $AU $659
XBOX games are also around $AU 90, where as PS2 games start from around $AU 49.

Chrono, you didn\'t even mention the funniest part:
PS2: 85,370
XBX: 5,005
GCN: 34,448
GBA: 40,345
PS1: 7,658 :laughing:
GBC: 2,439
WSC: 2,772
Now how long until Ryu gets here and locks this thread? ;)
BTW Chrono, where is the cool graph that you make that shows all of the consoles? I\'ve always loved those line graphs.
-
Heh, no closing this time. No one has bashed anything, it\'s been nothing but pure fact. Besides, slales figures can be interesting.
-
Not to put fuel on the fire, but Ironfist... :laughing: I can\'t believe PS1 sold more than Xbox... but on the other hand it\'s dirt cheap so I guess that would be the reason. :)

heres some info for ya
its £300 in the UK
thats just the console alone
if i was to personaly import a Xbox direct from the states i would save myself 50%
not due to currency diffrence but due to the fact that the X box is selling 50% cheaper in the States than the UK
Also over here in the UK they have reasonly launchedthe Metal Gear Solid 2 PS2 bundle
its flying of the shelfs at a alarming rate you can pick one up for £230
and the console itself is £200
with launch titles for £20
Tekken Tag
DOA2
Gran Turismo.

Most likely Chrono\'s Nintendo numbers are more accurate. Some sales trackers get information from more stores than other sales trackers, which is the case here. Famitsu (my sales numbers) probably leaves some stores out of their tracking, while Chrono\'s numbers probably leaves less stores out.

bloomburg of course had to make a released...
who knows which is more accurate
In the week ended Sunday, Microsoft sold a little more than 4,300 Xboxes in Japan, while Sony\'s PlayStation 2 sales topped 100,000 and Nintendo\'s GameCube sales reached almost 25,000, according to Media Create Co., a Japanese research company

Click Here for my Chart (http://guessthenumber.freeservers.com/image004.gif)
Bare in mind this data is 1 week before all the new data, bloomberg most closely releates to the famitsu data, so i\'ll create a 2nd chart incorporating that data.. it will be tempory until the famitsu data next week
-

Yeah it seems kind of stupid that consoles like the PS1 and handhelds like the GBA are viewed as being in direct competition with the PS2, X-box and GC. It\'s pretty obvious that these consoles are simply not in the same demographic, and that no one who wants a console is going to be satisfied with a GBA(not that there\'s anything wrong with it ;)); they\'re going to go buy a PS2 or Xbox or GC sooner or later.

:laughing: you completly missed the point.
the xbox is selling so bad, that the psx, a console released 7+ years ago is beating the xbox.. the xbox to the japaneese does not even exist, there are no games in the top 50. Quite frankly it does not exisit.
-
I hate Famitsu charts... they\'re not real... I\'ve made another one in excel... download it, simple but better.

You are right about the Xbox not existing to the Japanese. As many posts have pointed out earlier, the Japanese taste in regards to games is a bit screwy. The Xbox doesn\'t even have a decent lineup here in the states at this time.
Once again I went to a video game retailer hoping to add to my very small Xbox library and I ended up walking out with Twisted Metal Black ($19.99 new) and a PS2 memory card (I finally found another one!). After pacing back and forth over the 10 foot section of Xbox games I didn\'t see one that caught my eye. I thought to myself "Halo - check, PGR - check, Bloodwake - check and Blood Omen 2... damn I have all these!"
I almost bought Ico, but I don\'t know much about it and besides I have been adding to my Turbo Duo/PCEngine collection - its sad, but I would rather buy old Duo games than a mediocre Xbox game.

Every system has its\' drought right after launch...and right now I\'d say they are all having one. Looks to change this summer-fall...
I ended up purchasing a PS1 game yesterday...:confused:

I\'m not having a problem right now,
I recently rented HSG3, that game was very good
and i\'m still catching up on last fall\'s titles, such as DMC
and now with the cheap 20 dollar best sellers, I might pick up one or two of them i\'ve yet to play also
-
giga, i would buy ICO over any other xbox game out there
i know about the turbo-duo fix tho, ive been playing book of y\'s and slaughterhouse 3 alot lately :)
-
What\'s HSG3?
DMC was so good...
This little drought is actually good for me...I never owned a PS so I missed out on thoroughly(not just at a friends\' house) enjoying some older classics.
I recently bought PS2, so far I\'ve gone through Jak and Daxter, ICO, FFX, and Devil May Cry. I tried SoE, MGS2, and GTA3...didn\'t appeal to me.
I bought FFIX yesterday and after that I will buy Chrono Cross. Hopefully by the time I\'m done with those Evil Twin, Sega GT 2002, and Enclave will be out and I can start enjoying some next generation goodness...
-
HSG3 == Hot Shots Golf 3. It sold over a million copies in Japan, but I don\'t think it\'s doing nearly that good here in America.

That\'s cause we have enough room on our countries to make and play on real golf courses, relatively inexpensively. Japanese golf courses cost and arm and a leg (after dusk).
