LBP was supposed to save PS3 in Japan (according to many people on this forum, untill the release of FFXIII and GT5), but this did not help as much as they expected i think. Sony have focused to much on the West this gen, and forgot about Japan.

 

 can you back up this claim? because according to

http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=46655&start=50

many people pretty much predicted the correct sales.

 

 but many other people (Leo-J, CrazzyMan,...) predicted insane sales.

Come on, they're not so many! Nevertheless, lots of other people, despite not being Sony fanboys, wish Sony well and more or less consciously make predictions a little bit on the optimistic side because they fear monopolistic behaviours by MS if it manages to defeat Sony and possibly, using its huge cash to start a price cuts and exclusive third party shopping war Nintendo cannot afford to fight (*), become number one and rule the console market.

 

(*) the sloppy USPTO patent verification procedure that lets so many silly patents be granted could also give MS, if needed, weapons for a patent war, maybe not deadly or dangerous for Nintendo, but enough to disturb it and subtract, at least temporarily, funds.

Is it a kind of joke?
