Microsoft Xbox 360 sales in Japan exceed Sony PS3

See an article from Sina Article It is no wonder that Sony's PS3 game consoles are getting worse and worse, and the local sales in Japan have been caught up by the Xbox 360. In addition to "alloy equipment 4, almost all games that can be played on the PS3 have the Xbox 360 version, and the effect is almost the same, while the price of the Xbox is much lower than that of the PS3, sony may be overwhelmed by the huge success of PS2 in the past, and there is a big problem in the design of the PS3.

If the PS3 fails, I think the main reason is that the cost is too high. The use of Blu-ray and cell processors is the main failure, increasing the cost of the game machine, but the actual performance is almost the same as that of the Xbox 360, if Sony and Microsoft lose money in game consoles, it is estimated that Sony cannot support it first. Although Nintendo's Wii has been making money all the time, and there are also a lot of Wii games, it is hard to believe that it will eventually win in the next generation of game consoles.

According to Sina TechnologyReportsThe Japanese gaming magazine enterbrain published a report on Friday that Microsoft Xbox 360 sold more than its rival Sony PS3 in Japan in September, the first time the company's game machine sales surpassed the latter in Sony's base camp.

Sales growth was mainly due to Microsoft's price reduction in game consoles last month. As of September 28, Microsoft's Xbox 360 sales in the past four weeks reached 53.5 thousand, and Sony's PS3 sales amounted to nearly 33.1 thousand. Nintendo Wii still ranked first in sales, with nearly 0.11 million units sold in the same period.

Despite the popularity of Xbox 360 in the United States, the Japanese base camp for Sony and Nintendo can only compete hard with the game consoles of the last two companies. To increase sales, Microsoft reduced the price of the Xbox September 11 arcade in 360, lowering the price of the non-hard-disk version by 8000 yen to 19.8 thousand yen, and lowering the price of the high-end elite game machine by 8000 yen, to 39.8 thousand yen. The price of Sony's 40 Gb hard drive PS3 is 39.98 thousand yen, while that of Nintendo's Wii is 25 thousand yen.

Infinite undiscovery, a role-playing game launched by square enix holdings in Japan in September 11, also boosted sales of Xbox game consoles.

In the handheld game machine market, Nintendo DS sold 0.2345 million and Sony PSP sold 0.1093 million. "Enterbrain" pointed out that by Sony plans to launch the new handheld game PSP-3000 in October 16, PSP sales slowed. PSP-3000 built-in microphone and advanced LCD panel, not only provides faster response speed than the current game machine, but also more suitable for outdoor use. Nintendo will also launch a new DS game machine in May November, which can take photos and play music, potentially intruding into the fields occupied by Apple iPod and iPhone.
