^ just look at its sales...... both HARD & SOFT.

Hardware is a problem because of price and the Japanese economy being on a downturn... should well improve with WKC and the other games released for it in 2009...

But you talk software? how come the PS3 has software in the Japan top 10 and the Wii doesn't? major, intentional, self pwn? A Western shooter, R2, outsells a casual game 4:1? the Wii is in trouble, not the PS3.

 

 

Ok, you can make whatever excuse you want. Compare the numers, that's all I asked for.

If you think the wii is in trouble with almost 7 million consoles sold (compare to less than 3 millions Ps3) and 24 million+ of software (compare to.... 7 million+ software of ps3)........... Well, you need to improve in your math skills dude

Beside the fact that it's cheaper, it's also an extended userbase, plus has more games released for it, plus Nintendo who has always been big in Japan... and their games are a huge chunk out of the total sales. Sure, it has performed better in the long run, but it has been in a decline recently... as you can see by recent sales.

 

Yes it's cheaper, has a bigger userbase and more games that's exactly his point.  It's not in decline, if you're talking about the hardware sales they went to 21k last year, they never got that low last year.  We had doom and gloom last year at this time too for the wii in Japan because wii sales were 20k and ps3 outsold it for 3 weeks, but that was the extent of it.  Wii owned the holidays.
