Final Fantasy XIII will fix the Japan problem, so I am not too concerned about that.

short term...isn't it?

No there is no short term once FFXIII finishes releasing right after FFXIII, then you have Final Fantasy versus XIII and White Knight Story, The Last Renament, which is going to sell better on the PS3 than on the 360 in Japan..

no cus FFXIII will be 1 ore huge reason for every Japanes FF fan to step into the Ps3 userbase

Week 1 may show huge spikes n then drops but PERMANENTLY the effect will be HUGE

do not under-estimate a WHOLE NEW FF release..

The question is phrased in a rather sensationalist manner, JH, but if we were simply to ask: is Europe significantly helping the PS3? The answer is clearly yes. It's making up about 50 percent of its sales, when a typical console would see about 35 percent of its sales from the EU.

I think the graph needs to be updated to match current data.

When you consider the Japan sales are struggling, the US sales are bad, is Europe saving the PS3 this Christmas?

No it doesn't need updating... the "hardware from launch" chart condenses the weeks into each other when there are too many to fit on the x-axis.
The last point for the PS3 Is i think, either an average of 3 weeks, or else just the sales of 2 weeks ago (it will be correct after next week)

If you lower the number of weeks to 89 or less, the x-axis can go up in singular weeks (wheras the 156 your link shows has it going up 3 weeks each point)

Ah, thanks. I was wondering what was wrong. lol

I'll remember that for future.

Sony has gotten Europe to upgrade, but we also have to remeber that this is the PS3's first Christmas in Europe. That's helping.
