Japan Sales # --> GC nearly as dead as X-Box

[McFly]

Week sales:

PlayStation2 75.500
Game Boy Advance SP 30.900
Game Boy Advance 7.600
Gamecube 1.500
PSone 1.000
Xbox 690
WonderSwan Crystal 290

---

PS One still selling better then X-Box
PS2 40 times more then GC
PS2 100 times more then X-Box

And I think in this sales are the PS2.5 sales not included.

2.5? You mean the version with prog scan and the remote..? I think they're included in the PS2 sales (hence the insane number).

Ugh, good thing Nintendo has the GBA and MS has Windows & Office

Yes, but last weeks sales was about 45000. And as they where lined up for the 2.5 this week, I expected more then those 30000 more.

Well it's hard to tell overall status just from weeklies, so here are the numbers so far this year (up to May 25):

PS2: 1,305,500
GBA-SP: 1,047,400
GBA: 875,600
GameCube: 278,800
Xbox: 56,300
PSOne: 41,600

So yeah, even on the overalls it isn't looking too chipper. But it's not near the Xbox, which IS--at least--still beating out the PSOne. ^_^ Still, some pathetic for 'em both.

I wonder if the Xbox will pick up much after the redesign and launch of True Fantasy Online out there...

Any word on any upgrade for existing consoles or a possible european version of the PS2 with pro-scan DVD playback and remote?

These figures are for Japanese sales?

Everyone on this forum is from either America or Europe.

The title is about Japanese Sales #, just ignore it if you don't want to.

BTW, not everyone is from America or Europe, I am not and I am not alone here.

Nah uh, our resident Japanese business man extrodinare V3! Not to mention our other Asian correspondants like Maskrider, Faf (well, transplanted European ), and a few others who didn't put their location in their profile :?

Not sure if Archie is still living in Japan.. for some reason I remember him saying he was in California..

The list can go on, but it is not related to the topic "Japan Sales #"

 

[London Geezer]

exactly... at least Japan makes up for almost a third of videogame sales ON ITS OWN.... i mean, europe is a continent, still it took us years to get where japan is in sales...

Er, no. There are at least few people here that happen to live in Asia. Besides, why do you care?

Well there's other factors that nobody has mentioned here for GC's slow sales lately in japan, like oh, lets say a price drop + GBPlayer pack in a few weeks?

The new GCN+GBPlayer package (19800 YEN) should be available tomorrow (21/June) in Japan, may be there will be people queuing up to buy them like people were queuing up for PS2+BB Unit package.

And I think in this sales are the PS2.5 sales not included.

There is no such thing as the PS2.5. However if you are going insist on referring to PS2 revisions as a point release, then the proper designation would be PS2.8.

Not sure if Archie is still living in Japan.. for some reason I remember him saying he was in California..

Because I did... And I'm not here voluntarily either!

PSX is more like a PS2,5...

It has all the functions of a SCPH-5000? and has a HDD of 120 GIG ^^
