It was just a few days ago that we reported that the Xbox 360 sales surpassed the PS3 in Japan. In less than a week, Xbox 360 sales went back to last place with 7,258 units sold this week. The higher than normal sales of the Xbox 360 was due to the release of the new Japanese role-playing game Tales of Vesperia. But with the Xbox 360 hardware selling out this past week, it should of been expected that sales of the Xbox 360 would decrease. Microsoft has nothing to complain about because although they are in last place, 7,258 units sold is a strong number despite having historically low sales for the console in Japan. Microsoft shouldn’t panic as they promise to increase the production, so their sales should increase somewhat.
