An XBox game at #2? Is it too good to be true?

[Gunpei]

I think it is.....Pokemon sold a lot more than 33000 copies.

[=NukeBlaze=]

Your answer to that would be the almost "2 MILLION" figure following the 33,000.

Glad to see that Wonderswan and PsOne are not beating Xbox in hardware sales.

[MCKingKongMushi]

Yea GunPei, these are weekly sales. Like NukeBlaze said, look at the number beside that.

[DarthMaul]

Xbox only 3,000 behind the Gamecube sales? Nintendo better be aware of this.

[smellslikenintendospirit]

Japanese gamers like looking at girls too?!?!!?! :eek:

[Kliq]

Those horny Japanese ...

Maybe if they put Princess Peach in a thong, the mario series would sell a lot better ;)

Dissapointing ..... is what Zelda is no longer in the top 10 :(

[DarthMaul]

I wish I live in Japan. :cool:

if the Cube is only selling 3000 units more than the xbox then the cube is in worse circumstances than I had thought, the xbox could make the 3000 difference in the other major regions that the xbox is kicking the cubes but in.

People, it's only 3,000 this week. Nintendo still holds a nice lead and the year is only a month old.

The only reason X Box sold more than usual this week is beecuase of Dead or Alive Volleyball.
