Desperate Microsoft Spin.

It's laughable how desperate their spinning is becoming.

They are getting hammered in Japan, and have yet to even sell 1m consoles (PS3 has sold 3x that in Japan).

Last time I looked, Xbox is in pretty poor shape globally (despite what Microsoft try and tell us).

28m 360's globally in 3.5 years is not as good as 21.3m PS3's globally in 2.5 years (only 2 in Europe and Asia). Go figure....

A little misreading!

As people already pointed out, this is the forth week, in HISTORY, that XBOX360 managed to outsell Wii in Japan. The first was on the release of Ace Combat 6, then with Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery and finaly with Star Ocean 4.
The misreading is excusable, but the article should be corrected.

cracked? where you been?

it is 4 weeks total yes lol 4 weeks from the past 110 or so since the ps3 and wii have been on sale in japan. 360 has yet to crack 1 million units in japan after over three years on sale in the region now. if you check quietly, the original xbox sold about 2 million in 4 years in japan. unless 360 can double it total sales inside the next 12 months it has has bombed big style, worse than the original xbox and no mistake....

Actually

the article states that the 360 outsold it's competitors on 4 weeks in total.
I'm pretty certain none were consecutive.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
