I've defended the 360 when sales were low the week before a new bundle or price cut, so I'll do same the with the PS3. Anyone that thinks this "dominance" will be sustainable is kidding themselves.

Regardless, I do see something disburbing about the xbox360 sales vs the PS3's in Japan these past few weeks. Microsoft have done quite alot to get ahead of the PS3 for the last month, releasing big name titles exclusively, cutting the price, and improving their marketing. Yet the sales have hardly made a difference in the grand scheme of things and Sony have done absolutely nothing in response to microsoft. It's frustrating because on one end, I see a company putting tons of effort into the Japanese market and on the other end, I see a company that apparently have almost abandoned the market. The worse part is that by the end of the year, the amount of HW sales that the 360 managed to get by the PS3 in the last 5 weeks, will probably be cut down to nothing.

 

I'll second that lol... it's interesting to see that PS3 has done absolutely nothing to X360's response of releasing prime JP games, marketing, price cuts, and yet still come in with considerable sales. I think this is an indication of decline in hard core gaming in general? Then again, Sony has the PSP to help them break even. Sony is really different this gen not only because of their audience target approach, but the fact that now they have an ACCOMPANYING device to go with the PS3 -- the PSP. PSP and PS3 pull together is pretty impressive in my opinion. For someone whos doing a handheld for the first time, I have give Sony some congratulations. Look at microsoft's first attempt on home consoles... compare that to PSP??

m$ is cheaper than the wii.

and both nintendo and sony and looking down and not doing a thing!.

they will both outsell the 360 for the year at a higher price and less JRPGs.
