The DS sells over twice as much as all the other hardware sales combined, nothing new there.

The PS3 drops its sales by near 10,000 but that is most likely because of lack of supply rather than demand.

Good news for the PSP and the PS2 near double their sales after a few weeks of declining sales.

With Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 released (selling 45k units) driving the Xbox 360 sales up to 7k, the question is how much will Blue Dragon will drive xbox 360 sales? It goes on sale on the 7 Dec.

Next week: The Wii......

<3 Doax2

Those DS Lite numbers just floor me. I'm happy for Nintendo. Even if their Wii is not a major success, the DS Lite is giving them the freedom to stay in the game as one of the top, if not the top contender in the Video Game industry.

Its also good to see the PSP jump up in sales.

Go XBOX! :)

Go PS3

id say the Wii is very much experimenal so the sales dont matter, the losses do. at all else id suspect support for the Cube would rev back up if need be.

I disagree, the Wii is hardly experimental. I can only see Nintendo continue to gain proffits while Sony only continues to lose more and more money per PS3 sold.

Those DSLite numbers are crazy. Everyone in Japan has to have one by now, maybe even 2.

Thats all the Wii is is a money maker. Its cheap, effective and doesn't have too much in the way of next-gen tech (except for motion sensing abilities).

My friends have preferred it over the PS3 because its price. I don't buckle under such pressures though :p

lol the PS3 will die soon =P

PS3 will dominate soon

Xbox 360 will die soon

Xbox is dead

veskgar were can i send some money to help for that commercial.lol

Dreamcast must be in the list! :mad:

Go DS Phat!......wait....

LOL! You're totally wrong. Trigger Heart Exelica will be relased in february 22, 2007, on the Dreamcast (and it's an official game). Also, this year were released Radilgy and Under Defeat.
Oh and If you want to know about the next commercial Dreamcast games, check here.

ps: I want your answer, because your comment was an insult.

Well, the N-Gage hasn't died yet...

The Dreamcast still lives on, although a bit dead in both the homebrew and licensed games department...

Yea.... you kinda insulted ps3 first by saying it will be dead prematurely so thats why he insulted dreamcast. I must admit though its pretty cool dreamcast still has games.

These sales are pretty much the same as every week in japan except ps3 is on the list and is selling low because of lack of hardware. I wanna see the list when wii gets there thats when we will finally see something new for this list.

Oh yea btw I bet dreamcast sold more than xbox this week though lol

I think otherwise. The true battle will take place 1 year from now during next years holiday season. All cards will be on the table and you will really start seeing what each next-gen console is capable of.

We will also see which company has the best plan for product growth & competition. In regards to the XBOX 360, alls I need to say is HALO 3.

HALO 3 alone will ensure the XBOX 360 has at least a couple more years in one of the top spots.

Oh how I cannot wait for HALO 3. Thats not to mention the XBOX 360 exclusive HALO WARS which will be a RTS game that lets you control armies from the HALO universe.

halo will not effect the console war in japan, as its only has a hardcore following there. Blue dragon is the killer app for MS, the 10,000 preordes with xboxs, sold out within a day a month ago, and its the 2nd most wanted game in japan at the moment. its comes out 7 dec. That will be an interesting week

PS3 will slowly rise in sales over the next year, but will not dominate like Sony hopes

Xbox360 will plateau until Halo 3 comes out

Xbox is, of course, dead

We will see the Wii come up close for this "next-gen" war as well, especially since the controller is great for FPS (and no one say, "ohh this controller sucks", it takes more skill than a "standard" controller or a keyboard/mouse offers, making it better) and sports games.
