    So is it safe to say the Xbox is now taking over Japan? Slow and steady wins the race.

    In which world?
    X360 is going to fail… over all in Japan. Let’s see what will happen when they get the PS3 Slim.
    But more important how can it win if the Wii is still the best selling (and it will continue)?

    it wont continue its just a fad.
    it will ware off and is starting to now, my store last year was constantly sold out of wiis this year not once have we sold out.
    its slowly starting to die, and with the price drop with the ps3 and 360 the wii desperately needs a price drop.
    50 bucks cheaper than the ps3 is a RIP OFF!!!!
    and its not even HD all it is, is a PS2 with motion controllers. and ps2s can be bought here for 100 bucks, 350 bucks less than the wii

    Considering that the PS3 trended toward four digits in sales in Japan even when they had tons of units in stock, the Wii has literally nothing to fear from its competition there. Japan isn’t buying anything else – it’s effectively impossible for Japanese games to turn a profit there on anything but the Wii in the current console market.
