A survey of 2300 retail stores reveals that Apple has cleaned up in the smartphone market in Japan, TG Daily reports. Market research company BCN revealed that the iPhone 3G 8GB is easily heading the list, followed by the 16GB iPhone and the NTT CoCoMo Aquos SH-04A.
Is the ranking dependable? "Yes," Akky Akimoto of Asiajin from Japan answered. "The shops which give their POS (point of sale) details to BCN include some nationwide chain stores, such like Eiden, K’s Denki, Bic Camera, Best Denki and, you may know that company name, Amazon Japan." The writer plus points us with the ranking’s Japanese page.
Released in July last year, Apple's iPhone 3G has been sold by a million in Japan since next. The survey was conducted before the launch of the iPhone 3GS by Softbank, the country's third largest wireless carrier, on June 26.

The new iPhone 3GS started to be sold in Japan on June 26th. For your data, interestingly, the iPhone 3GS (32GB) and (16GB) seemed to be ranked at No. 174 and No. 189 on last week’s ranking, even before its release moment.
The old version iPhone 3G 16GB is ranked at No. 27 down a bit from No. 23 last week, which is plus interesting. Who buys the old one when the new one is coming and your payment will not differ?
