During July 2006, the Xbox 360 represented 1% of the total console sales in Japan. On the software side, there were no Xbox360 titles among the top 50 best selling games. The image above says it all. The clerk doesn’t look happy either.

Japanese Xbox360 sales have been catastrophic the past 6 months. During the first two months it was outsold by the GameCube, even the GameBoy Advance. The recent few months have been dominated by the Nintendo DS, selling more than all other consoles combined for the last week of July. Six of the top ten best selling games were for the DS platform.

    [...] Ouch. I would be interested to know how much vintage systems have in contrast. Like I’m sure more than 1% of the population still has a beloved original Famicom… it would be interesting to see how the 360 is doing against a 25 year old system. Digital Battle has the scoop.

    Yeah! You’d think Peter Moore and them folk would’ve seen this coming, but I guess not. Can you imagine what’s gonna happen when the Wii and even the PS3 hit? It’s gonna be an XBox 360 massacre.
