Japan Monthly Sales (June 2006)

This is the first Japanese sales post we’ll be doing in a monthly format. It makes it much easier to compare with the USA sales posts. The trends are very different in Japan as you can see. For example, compare the DS numbers with the USA! And of course, our wonderful friend the Xbox 360 isn’t seen the same way in the Land of the Rising Sun…

• DSL: 719,716
• PSP: 121,576
• PS2: 106,831
• NDS: 38,914
• GBASP: 19,825
• GBM: 7,163
• 360: 6,818
• GCN: 4,960
• GBA: 98
• XBX: 53

The numbers are for May 29th – July 2nd, as were the NPD USA numbers. That’s five weeks of sales. Three titles reached new milestones last month. New Super Mario Bros. passed the 2 million sold mark and both Brain Training games passed 2.5 million! A few PSP games also made the weekly Top 10s, such as Itadaki Street Portable: Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy. GBA and Xbox are missing a week of sales because we couldn’t find the numbers, but I don’t think anybody really minds… Uh, add 10 – 20 for both?
