Forums - Sony Discussion - Will PS3 be ahead of Wii this week in Japan?

DMeisterJ on 31 October 2008

Given the LBP launch, LBP bundle with PlayStation 3's and the 80GB launch of the triple, and the fact that the Wii generally sells 25k units in Japan weekly (not because of supply reasons), is it reasonably possible that the PS3 will beat the Wii this week?

I think so.

You?

Well I predicted 40k units shifted for the PS3.

So I would say yes.

Also, based solely on Japan, the PS3 will be ahead of the Xbox 360 worldwide for the first time in months this week.

"Months" while technically correct makes it seem like forever, where it'll only be eight or so weeks.

yeah probably, japan is weird as in someways it is wii's strongest market (when compared to 360/PS3) but in other ways its the weakest (worst attach rate, decline hardware and software figures)

however as japaneese dev support for wii seems to be vastly increasing i can see wii faring better. This will mostly be down i think to exclusives in big japanese franchises( tales of../ mosnter hunter). for this holiday that franchise looks to be animal forest.


wii really needs marvellous in japan to boost hardware and software.
