Comments on: Xbox 360 beats PS3 in Japan for second week http://www.vg247.com/2008/09/26/xbox-360-beats-ps3-in-japan-for-second-week/ VG247.com Wed, 15 Feb 2012 12:18:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Blerk http://www.vg247.com/2008/09/26/xbox-360-beats-ps3-in-japan-for-second-week/comment-page-1/#comment-29699 Blerk Fri, 26 Sep 2008 08:45:29 +0000 http://www.videogaming247.com/2008/09/26/xbox-360-beats-ps3-in-japan-for-second-week/#comment-29699 Infinite Undiscovery was at 13, selling about 9,000 copies, so that could theoretically account for most of the 'extra' 360s that sold this week (above and beyond the 5,000 or so a week they were selling pre-Tales). Cheaper price and a couple of decent games have obviously had the desired effect, and I somehow doubt that Sony's apparent apathy towards the region has done them much harm either. Bit of a lull for them now, unfortunately - they have to wait for November and the release of Last Remnant before they have another big Japanese game to tempt them with.

Maybe it's getting a bit of word-of-mouth support, I'd like to see how those exclusive JRPG titles are ticking over.

It's about time Sony (after 2 years?) had some JRPGS in the catalogue... I guess we'll have to see what turns up at TGS in a couple of weeks.
