Japan Reverts To Xbox Ignoring Habits

[wraggster]

The Xbox 360's Japanese victory over its hi-def console competitor was short lived. Xbox buying fever has broken in a big way overseas, with the flagging console returning to last place on the Media Create hardware charts. Not that Sony's PlayStation 3 is doing that much better right now. At least Microsoft can blame its drop on depleted stock.

The success story this week though is that of the Nintendo DS, which extends its lead over the PSP by a hefty margin. The numbers you need are below.

Nintendo DS - 78,666
PSP - 64,413
Wii - 53,036
PlayStation 3 - 11,393
PlayStation 2 - 10,168
Xbox 360 - 7,358

Considering that they wrote an article about it, I'm rather surprised that Kotaku doesn't know there is a 360 shortage in japan right now...

I don't think I've ever seen an "XBox Ignoring Habits." I didn't even know they had habits to ignore.

(How about: "Japan Reverts To Xbox-Ignoring Habits".)
