Japan Sales: Dec 04 - 10, 2006

The DS reclaims it throne, in style by moving 300k+ units. After last weeks launch the Wii drops to 85k. Sony moves PS3 manufacturing up a gear with 50K sold this week.

But big mover this week is the Xbox 360, claiming 4th place (actually beating the ps2) with over 35k units sold, all thanks to Blue Dragon.

The PSP still seems to be in trouble in Japan, despite increasing in sales it drops behind the PS2 (and 360) in total sales.

It seems that the DS has this Christmas in its pocket, but on the console front, it going to be a fight between the Wii and PS3, who can make the most units?

Also how far will the Xbox 360 fall next week? back to normal numbers (1.5k to 7k) or is this the point were the 360 fights back?

the Wii only 85.000 :(

Seems that Blue Dragon DID help the X360 sales a lot.

This is why the X360 needs more games like Blue Dragon and Project Sylpheed to help it sell in Japan, then it would probably be worth purchasing for them.

WOW Wii came 2nd, i thought it would stay 1st.

It's because there are not enough nintendo wii's left in stock I bet of there was more supply they would have sold more than the DS lite.
