Additionaly, the sales of PS2 and PS3 became almost same...

#Wii and DSL data isn't available in source site

 

Console

PSP : about 40k

DSL : about 80k

Wii : about 50k

Other Data Source

PS2 : about 16k (Famitsu?)

PS3 : about 17k (Famitsu?)

Wii : about 51k (MC?)

If the PS3 number is true Sony is in deep shit...if it wasn't for PS2 nice week with great software sales.
Wii number down supply?
When does golden week start?

 


 In japan, PS3 is in the dark.

 Obviously, the expensive prise drags on the sales. What is worse is that the complex architecture of Cell becomes a pain in the neck for developers, and it leads to the rising cost of development. So small companies can't release the game for PS3 and big campanies think multi-platform like DMC4.

 And it is clear the advertisement in Japan is failure. TV CM of PS3 isn't understandable about the advantages of PS3. Otherwise, TV CM of Wii is well recieved. The reason is simple. Nintendo highlights the scene enjoying Wii. This method is also used for games. And this method is very effective to make people think the game is interesting.  This differece is appeared in sales...

 Finally, in Japan, many game funs think "Sony killed PS3 by themselves."


Sony will be alright, they just need some good games really quick, cause all of the so-called "Killer-apps" so far have not been to great, at least not great enough to boost sales like it needs to.
