We're starting to get comfortable with the formerly apocalyptic notion that the Xbox 360 is finding success a niche in Japan. Famitsu Marketing data (via GameDaily) shows that year-over-year growth of the console has been an impressive 157% during the first seven months of this year.

Quoting the GameDaily article the Joystiq sources, "During the March-September period, the Xbox 360 sold 138,740 units compared to 88,292 during the same time a year earlier."
That is not 157% growth; that is 57% growth, or 157% of the previous year's number.[ Veteran ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 155 ]bids
