Compute!'s Gazette Issue 014 (August 1984)

This issue hit around the time of the PS4 launch, making the weekly sales chart look a little lopsided: That's the PS4 standing alone on top with 322,083 units sold, with the next best selling system being the 3DS with 30,284 units sold. Congrats to the Xbox360, which managed to outsell the last-gen Wii with a whopping 239 units sold. It's not often you see a Microsoft system anywhere but dead last in Japan, so thank goodness 148 people bought a 7 1/2-year-old Wii that week, giving the poor 360 a chance to have an edge over something. As an aside, I just flipped through an issue of the UK's GamesTM mag lately, and it had the results of a reader poll where the 360 was voted the best console OF ALL TIME. Cultural differences make the world interesting.
