Take out Japan then check your figures again. One region produces a massive skew when the global sales are so close. The reason is simple. There is demand for the PS3 there but not the 360.

Does it matter? The job is to have games that appeal to as many audiences as possible. Not just one or two.

The gap in Japan is ~7.3m
The gap in USA is ~15m

The gap in America is double the gap in Japan. Lets take America out of the picture. See how things look then. After all the real massive "skew" comes from USA.


Rubbish, of course the gap in america is bigger as its a lot bigger market.  Market share is the only way to compare them and it backs up my statement that Japan is horribly skewed.

Marketshares? Okay. Lets compare marketshares.

The 360 holds 37.5% of the American marketshare.
The PS3 holds 38.5% of the Japanese market.

They are fairly equal, marketshare-wise, in the respective markets. The PS3 has performed in Japan, just as well as the 360 performed in America. What youre arguing though, is we remove all the hard work from Sony, just because Microsoft are incapable of getting the Japanese to like the 360.

How about you stop crying about it and accept it for what it is? The second biggest videogame market.

If you want to try and insult people and be uncivil, don't be surprised when people ignore you.  Your comparison is still pathetic.
