Media Create Japanese Hardware Sales for week ending September 25th: 3DS and Xbox 360 sales spike

3DS Misty Pink Small

This week’s Media Create hardware chart sees the 3DS maintain its ascendancy as sales of Nintendo’s mercurial handheld continue to climb. The 3DS now enjoys a healthy lead over its closest rivals, with 70 159 units sold during the last week compared to 39 452 PS3 systems shifted.

The console with the best percentage gain this week is the Xbox 360. Can you guess what made a few extra thousand Japanese consumers flock to purchase Microsoft’s console? One game is responsible for the sales surge and that game is none other than Gears of War 3. It went on sale on September 22nd in Japan and helped boost Xbox 360 numbers to 3 897 units - a 200% increase from last week.

Other consoles such as PS3, PS2, PSP and the various DS models enjoyed small gains, but nothing like what the 3DS experienced this week - that is, an 11 322 unit improvement over the previous accounting period.

Will the 3DS continue to dominate the charts for the foreseeable future, or will PS Vita trounce it from December onwards despite the latter selling for a much higher price?

Be sure to also check out this week’s software chart to see which games proved to be the most popular purchases in Japan.
