When does Sony reach the point of no return in Japan?

[shams]

Sony won't die if they "fail" in Japan - but if the same spreads to all three territories, then there could be trouble. According to Sony, they are happy with the current PSP performance - so maybe they will be happy with the same level of competitiveness from the PS3 v Wii. It also depends on other parts of the company, BluRay, etc. Even if the PS3 does (relatively) flunk, it won't impact Sony that much if BluRay becomes dominant they reap the rewards from that. PS - there is ZERO chance that DQ X will come out for the PS3 - and -1000% cahnce it comes out for the PS3 exclusively. At this stage, I'd say 85% chance for the DS (depends on the DQ DS sales - Joker is doing pretty well...), and 15% for the Wii. I wouldn't even try to hope for it - its about as likely as an exclusive release for the 360 ;) (what they may do it various spin off games instead..)
