[Kwaad]

celine said: Kwaad you don't understand one thing : The real console's health meter is software sales not hardware sales !!! Go look if N64'software sales was better than Ps1's in Japan or USA. N64 had vast Nintendo's best selling titles but not the software stream of Ps1 for many reason cited by Aston. Wii JAp launch is very good because Wii software sales are great ( Wii sports is a Killer App ). Ps3 JAp launch is very bad because Ps3 software sales are low ( Ps3 Jap Top seller ? RR7 with 120K units ).

Yes I agree wholey. I think PS3 hardware units will sell in march and onward. it takes units to sell games. There are no games to buy for PS3 that seem fun. everything on the wii... seems... fun. read my pose about rub-a-dub in refrence to 'fun'. PS3 will sell games. Just not till march. (sony's trend is... to bomb on the first year, take the market the 2nd year, and rule the market after that) Will sony do it that fast this time? Probibally not with the Wii. But I bet it will for the X360. EDIT: Any anyone that says the PS3 is off to a worse start than the x-box 360... http://www.vgcharts.org/usaconscomps.php?name1=PS3&name2=X360&type=0 Think about this. the x-box 360 had no competition. The PS3 is competing agianst the 250$ Wii. That no-one knew about when the x-box 360 came out. Also, that is america, the 360s strogest market. the japanese market is doing as well as the 360 in europe. (averageing 14 months into 3million*3months=average 360's sold in europe over 3 months. almost the same number as the PS3 in japan. the PS3 hasnt made it to Europe yet, so you cant really compare it side by side. if this site is correct, the PS3 sales will be about 25% higher than the 360. WITH competition from the new Wii, and the established 360. Alot of people. (like me) didnt get one at x-mas because I knew they would be too hard to find, and couldnt wait in line for the PS3 because of work. I could for the Wii. I found one the day after x-mas. And I've felt ripped off since I got it. The Wii feels like a glorifyed GC. the PS3 is badass. :END EDIT
