Xbox 360 Outsells Nintendo Wii in Japan
Champagne all round
17 Sept 2008
According to a Google translation of a Famitsu page, work put in by Microsoft to up the profile and sales of the Xbox 360 in Japan has paid off in spectacular style this week.
The sales figures reported by Famitsu for the period September 8 to September 14 are as follows:
Microsoft Xbox 360 = 28,681.
Nintendo Wii = 27,057.
Sony PlayStation 3 = 8,050
The data reported comes from Enterbrain. Although it may be for a single week, this remains a huge success for Microsoft in a territory in which traditionally it has held third place behind the two native companies, Nintendo and Sony.

I'm so never going to let you run anything...not even picknick...how is losing billions of dollars "outstanding" ?? really...if MS would run a picknick it would spent a lot of money on buying gold utensils and polished marble diner plates and then serve us all spam out a can and call it "the biggest entertainment release ever". The scary part is, you would do the same thing...
Yes i'm still sour over Halo killing and causalizing an entire genre i loved. Bloody Halo *shakes fist at generic space marines in games everywhere*
