It basically come down to what will have a bigger effect on sales. The "price cut" on PS3 in the US or the release of Dragon Quest: Swords in Japan. It is definitely going to be close but I will go with the Wii. I don't see the PS3 sales spike to overcome the boost DQ:S will give the Wii in Japan.

 

The Wii is selling out in Japan w/out DragonQuest. I don't see how DQ can make it even more sold out.

It actually does matter because Nintendo sends extras of the systems they are producing for the holidays to countries who are getting big releases that month. So yeah, it sells out, but it sells out of a larger stock base.


But as I understand it, the Wii would be selling out regardless. The shift may help the sales total in one area, but that also means taking consoles away from the other 2 regions where demand still hasn't dropped below supply.


No it's not a shift away from other markets, they actually ship extra units from backstocks (presumably being built up for the holidays) thus allowing Wiis to actually sell higher in some months because of shipment boosts.
