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."


The unfortunate thing for Sony in Japan right now is that there is very little reason why the PS3 will pass the 20k barrier for a little while; from what I can find the PS3 has almost no games to be released for a couple of months. The embarassing thing is it looks like the PS3 is a good 10 weeks away from selling 1 Million units in Japan, if that happens the Wii could have sold 2.5 to 3 Million units by the time the PS3 sells 1 Million unit.
